We loved the cruise on Florida rivers after many cruises in the gulf and oceans we enjoyed the calm river cruise The ship was a bit dated but the crew and personnel were very attentive. Food was excellent with many choices and sometimes high level entrees like lobster and prime rib. A smaller ship with only 90 passengers allowed us to meet many of the passengers. The tours were well done ...
We disembarked from our week cruise on Monday. This was our 2nd sailing with ACL. The food: the food was always wonderful, reminding me of being in a restaurant in France, plated nicely, perfect portions. The beef is on the rare side, so I had to send it back for my hubby who prefers med to well. The taste was still there, though. Alcohol: While we are not drinkers, there was wine and beer ...
We took the New Year's cruise from St. Petersburg, FL, to Key West, FL, round trip. It was only the second cruise for this itinerary and everything was planned/executed very well. We like traveling with about 100 passengers. The Mayor and local town dignitaries of Punta Gorda literally rolled out the red carpet and offered goodie bags and mimosas when we docked to celebrate being a port. The ...
We were looking for a Christmas Cruise within the USA. We chose the inaugural Florida Gulf Coast Cruise on the brand new American Glory. We were not disappointed. The small ship offered all the amenities we desired on a cruise. The new ship was wonderful and the crew was exceptional. We have been on 15 cruises on various cruise lines to various destinations. The excellent food on this small ...
Hubby and i selected this cruise because we thought cruising the maine coast and traveling to the small maine coastal villages would be fun.
There actually was very little coastal cruising, parked us inland due to bad weather and took us via coach ( bus) to our ports.
Our veranda suite was a huge disappointment. not enough space in the closet for our clothes ( and this was just a 7 day ...
We recently returned from a lovely Fall sailing on the ACL Constellation through the San Juan Islands and along the Puget Sound, near Seattle. Embarkation was simple and quick, and soon we were seated for our first lunch, served with a nice selection of wines and always, a tempting choice of desserts and homemade ice creams! The ACL staterooms are much larger than those on most of the cruise ...
This is not our first River Cruise with American Cruise Line. Our trip was not only fabulous but informative from the moment we stepped onboard. This particular itinerary was a Fall Foliage/Art Immersion Cruise. The Hudson River Valley is well known for the artists who came there to capture the beauty of the Catskills. American Constitution is well appointed from top to bottom. Staterooms are ...
Our first time cruise on ACL was the Maine Coast and Harbors. We were scheduled to leave out of Portland ME, but rough seas kept the Eagle in Bath ME. ACL was very accommodating and bused us from Portland to Bath. Arriving at the ship, the boarding process was painless. The crew was most helpful and directed us to the restaurant for lunch while they offloaded the luggage and placed them in our ...
My husband and I were excited to celebrate our 40th anniversary on a cruise to New England and because of the internet description we thought American Cruise Lines and the American Star would be a good choice. The cruise dates were September 9th through the 16th.
We were disappointed from the moment that we walked on to the boat we noticed that the boat was older and in poor condition.
...
When my husband and I exited our uber at the Portland Pier, I had a vivid reminder of WHY I started doing "small ship cruising."
Docked behind the beautiful and tastefully appointed American Eagle was a LARGE cruise ship. While we walked up to the American cruise line welcome tent we were given keys to our stateroom in five minutes. We had a glimpse of hundreds of passengers on the 'big' ship ...
