My friend and I selected this cruise for this year based on the terrific itinerary that would bring us to the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River. We booked the trip in 2021 and the reviews we read were from 2019, a year after the ship launched and before the pandemic. They were wonderful. We didn’t think to go back and read reviews again, but did so while we were on the cruise - what a ...
March/April 2023 - My wife and I have been on numerous cruises (26+) throughout the world on various cruise lines over the years. This was our forth cruise on American Cruise Lines. Our American Revolution cruise started on March 26 in Baltimore, MD. This was the first cruise of the season.
We came down to Baltimore from Newark, NJ where we were visiting, on an Amtrak train. We stayed at ...
Christmas on the Chesapeake
We have done a fair amount of small ship cruising but not usually in the United States. A friend recommended American Cruise Lines when we wanted to see the Mississippi River. We did that trip this June and were so pleased with that experience that we immediately booked three more cruises with them. We chose to spend Christmas on the American Revolution Cruise on ...
My husband and I chose this cruise since we have no relatives nearby. We thought it would be special to be pampered by American Cruise Lines at this time of year! This was our first time on Chesapeake Bay, and we were astonished at the many excursions available. Not enough time to do them all, so we will need to come back again and cruise again with ACL. Exceptional excursions to us were the ...
My wife and I LOVE the 'small ship cruising' concept. We chose this particular American Cruise for the simple fact that we could DRIVE there. We didn't have any expectations for the itinerary (American Revolution & Chesapeake Bay) and were we pleasantly surprised! This itinerary was 'excursion rich' - especially in Norfolk, D.C., Jamestown/Williamstown & Annapolis. American Cruise Line also ...
First time cruising on American Cruise Lines... really didn't know what to expect. This was truly a fantastic cruise that was made memorable because of the experience onboard and ashore. First off, the ports were all really amazing experiences that you would have to 'road-trip' in order to see and do. At our age, we don't have the time or the confidence in getting around in that way. So to be able ...
This was my first time on American Cruise Lines. We wanted to see some of New England. We flew into Providence, RI and stayed at the cruise line recommended Hotel. The hotel was overpriced and not helpful about what to do in Providence. The cruise line had a welcome package, but no information about Providence. We missed a great Italian restaurant area that we did not find out about until the next ...
Have sailed with American Cruise lines from Seattle to San Juan islands. Was a great experience. The American Revolution trip was less than satisfactory. No internet on board. Phones in cabins did not work. Service in dining room was poor. Food quality not the best. Was served ice cream in hot dish so it melted before it could be eaten. Service at Sky lounge was awful. Hamburgers were raw! Self ...
A floating history tour! What a wonderful cruise that gives you as many opportunities to remember the glorious path to our nation’s history as you would like to take advantage of!
The American Constitution departed Baltimore mid-day and headed to Norfolk, VA. We decided to delay our revolutionary history and opted for an excursion to the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Museum. (There is ...
I overpacked. NOBODY “dresses” for dinner. Three dresses hung in the closet and were never worn. Everyone dressed neatly but casually. The guest laundry was available, and I did laundry twice in the trip.
Embarkation was well managed. We stood on a line for a few minutes to take our (negative) Covid tests, then went right onboard. Our luggage was waiting in our room. Easy!
Our AAC ...
