TURN RIGHT FOR RELAXATION!!! BIG VS. SMALL CRUISE SHIPS
"" Docked behind the beautiful and tastefully appointed American Eagle was a LARGE cruise ship." We were one of the first passengers to 'check-in' so we toured all of the common areas to see what the American Cruise Line designers created on this "coastal Cat."..."Read More

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

It doesn't get much better then visiting ports on the coasts of Maine on a newly designed ship - the latest design on the American Cruise Line fleet. A special thanks to Mother Nature for blessing us with wonderful weather during our seven nights at sea! The American Eagle is an impressive vessel that embodies casual elegance. The interior is neutral and tasteful and the rooms are spacious ...

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 ...

This cruise was the second on the new American Eagle and it was wonderful. The ship is modern decor and has a lot of space in the lounge and dining areas. The dining area is set up with many tables having window views and also noise reduction. Lounge areas are well placed on the ship and the outdoor grill is a new feature. The trip was excellent and we were able to spend time at ...

This cruise, the Cape Codder, was fromBoston to Boston with stops Through out New England (Gloucester , Mass Maritime Academy, New Bedford, Martha’s Vineyard , Provincetown and Plymouth).

I chose this cruise because it covered a part of the United States I had never seen and it was going to stop in Plymouth, MA. As a descendant of a young man, Edward Doty, who came to America on the Mayflower I wanted to see and visit Mayflower II and Plymouth rock. Added to this we were to sail on the maiden voyage of the American Eagle. Very exciting. The ship itself was spotless, the help ...

Wanted to see the New England area and could only do it on a small ship. Very quaint, good food and staff….will probably sail with them again. Very different than the large ships, nice and easy with no crowds, and easy to get around….since ship is small (only 100 passengers) you don’t have to walk a mile to get to dining room, your room, public spaces….everything is close…ship was brand ...

We were on the Inaugural cruise of American Cruise Line’s brand new Catamaran, The Eagle, capacity around 100 passengers. We’ve been on 8 cruises with American so far and looking forward to our 9th in October, 2024. This one was a round trip from Boston to Cape Cod - the cruise was called the Cape Codder with stops in Plymouth, New Bedford, Newport, Martha’s Vineyatd, Hyannis and Provincetown. ...
