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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
This was my first cruise EVER that I took with my mother as her gift to me. What an amazing memory and the best part is my 'cruise souvenirs' were a group of women that I hope to see, again, soon!
I was excited to see the beauty of Maine from the water after visiting some of the ports last year by land. The water gives you an entirely different perspective!
Portland, Maine is the 'city' we ...
My return to the American Independence (I sailed in May 2021 on the Chesapeake) for a PORTS OF MAINE CRUISE was just what I needed to force me to relax from my busy life and let "someone else do the driving!"
Cruising on American Cruise Line is so effortless.
Once you arrive with your luggage it is all "gladly giving up the controls" and letting this amazing and attentive staff do the ...
I chose this cruise because of the size of the ship.. I really enjoy small ship cruising. We had less than 90 passengers. The crew was just spectacular andspectacular and made everyone of us feel that way that we were the most important person in the room. The itinerary was interesting... I have always wanted to see the Bay of Fundy. We even went to a lobster bake. Our nightly entertainment ...
We stumbled upon this on the internet and booked a trip without any info. Wow, we are glad we did! Wonderful to be unplugged on the oldest windjammer in the US. Peaceful, world class views, great grew, good food (prepared on a wood stove in the galley), and some exciting stops (like the Swan's Island Music Festival and our lobster boil on the beach). We were part of a group of 21 passengers and 5 ...
I chose this cruise because I live in Florida and felt the weather in Maine was the best weather in the US in summer. Also I love lobster and was excited that it was a big part of the cruise. I was in Maine over 40 years ago and loved it. This cruise covered Bar Harbor, my past destination and so much more. I love the intimacy of American CruiseLine. You actually get to make friends. There are no ...
The size of the ship 210 guests and the Canadian coastline was the reason for the cruise.
The cruise on the whole was great but two areas of the cruise really stood out.
1. the overall cleanness of the state rooms every day they would make the bed and clean the room and I mean clean not just a fast dusting.
2. My wife is a below the knee amputee and the tides in Canda are 12 feet plus ...
This cruise was to be in 2020. You know what happened then. I think this was the first cruise allowed since Covid. We were tested before, during and after. Our cabin, Deck 3, was comfortable, clean & the small balcony was a breath of sea air. The crew was wonderful. How the cruise director always seemed calm & collected. Nothing seemed to phase her even an extra unexpected day at sea. The waiters ...
