Portland (Oregon) Cruise Reviews

There is a large homeless population in Portland but although they made us sad they did not antagonize us. We went a little early and had a day to walk the river and cross the bridges and go downtown. There are many things to do there but we just wanted to wander. Masks are mandatory but not outside. ...

Portland is a fun city with great parks and outdoor activities. The Saturday Market is fun and has excellent crafts. Portland also has wonderful restaurants. In our experience, the people were very friendly. ...

Ok. Convenient ...

The dock is 45 minutes from downtown. No services around port. Another ship from ACL 'side-tied' to our ship; their passengers walked through our ship; I could reach over the balcony and shake hands with passengers on other ship. ...

We enjoyed staying at the Red Lion Hotel. We had dinner and breakfast there before getting on the boat. It was a long ride from the Portland Airport to this Hotel. We were welcomed and given further details about boarding the Riverboat, etc. ...

Complimentary hotel was OK. Did not venture out of the hotel. Traffic from airport to the hotel is heavy. ...

Our tour of portland consisted of a short visit to a rose garden park (not handicap friendly) and a long bus ride in heavy traffic. ...

If you have the option for the WAAM (auto and airplane museum) in Hood River, take it. We could have spent considerably more time there. It was fascinating and had a lot of great exhibits. ...

Cruise included pre-cruise complimentary hotel stay at the Red Lion on the river. This is an attractive up-scale hotel. ...

Mt St Helens tour. Didn't exactly see the mountain, because of cloud, then snow! A novelty for me. so I loved it. ...
