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 ...
We just completed a cruise on the Hudson River on the Star. Having cruised many times before (albeit on different lines), I must tell you that this cruise was not good. One set of passengers that we got to know fairly well even left early because they were so disappointed. The ship needs a complete face lift and mechanical overhaul. Specific issues:
1. Systems
a. The water system was ...
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 ...
We chose this cruise expecting a first class luxury cruise. We liked the all inclusive aspect of the cruise. However before we even got on board we ran into issues when trying to book shore excursions. The website would register my husbands excursions but not mine. That was all straightened out with a call was made to the cruise line. We had an overnight at the Peabody in Memphis which was great. ...
We have been on multiple cruises with multiple different lines but never on a ship with only 70 passengers. What a treat! This is the oldest of their fleet but most of it had been updated. It is not extravagant but clean and very comfortable. Part of the charm is the way the ship is more like those of the good ole days. No buffets….Sit down meals in a designated dining area (with room service ...
I would like to start with what was good about the cruise. Two individuals stood out on our cruise. Angelica was so personable and engaging on the patio deck. Connie, the server in the dining room was very attentive and and friendly. The rooms were ok. The exploration ports were fine. Enjoyed the Mount St. Helens tour. Has a great time on the Hell Canyon boat trip. So now I will share how poor the ...
I had never been to the northwest of the USA and wanted to see what it was like.
I enjoyed the trip very much. Lots of good food and the staff was friendly.
The wine tasting place, Evoke, was terrible. The wine was not very good and
the person pouring did a bad job.
Dave the cruise director was great as was Cam the excursion director.
The entertainment was very good with the local ...
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.
