USA Cruise Reviews

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 ...

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 ...

This was our fourth cruise on American Cruise Lines. We've also sailed on Cunard, Viking, Celebrity, and Princess. The quality on ACL beats all the others in every way. The service is more personalized and caring, the food is better, and the ships are more comfortable. We were on Viking in France in May and although nice, Viking is clearly a notch lower. One great feature on ACL is 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 ...

To make a long story short, we took this cruise thinking traveling up the coast in Autumn would be a beautiful experience, with the changing of the leaves and the bright, crisp air. However, the weather was very bad; it was cold, rainy, windy and foggy. Our "adventure" began when we had to stay an additional night in the departing city of Boston because our ship was stuck in Halifax due to bad ...

Everything about this cruise was terrific. The three key staff members, Rick, Andrew and Miranda were a great team. They were always available for the passengers and went out of their way to make the cruise outstanding. The food was delicious. Excursions off the ship were varied and very enjoyable. We went on a jet boat ride, visited museums, and even went to see some animals where we could feed ...

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 cruise was an opportunity to see the Great Lakes area. Viking is in our view is the best of the best. Exceptional ship and amazing research done on board. Great dining and all-inclusive pricing. Amazing staff and staff to quest ratio is better than 2 to 1. The ship is the star of the cruise and the best ship we have ever sailed on. Historians on board made for an exceptional cruise and ...

We had FCC to use so picked a fun and relaxing cruise and we were pleasantly surprised by the gorgeous weather and fabulous crew.. Vancouver and Victoria were so beautiful, and had great time in San Francisco. The crew was amazing. Everyone was so friendly and caring and it showed. Really made you feel appreciated and special. I think everyone was just so happy to be back to more regular cruising ...

It was a scene out of Downton Abbey when the titled owners arrived home after a long absence; all the American Cruise Lines crew and staff were lined up to welcome us on board the American Spirit. Though there was one major difference between the AC staff and the Downton Abbey staff, all the AC personnel were smiling. The employees of AC were extremely happy and pleasant people to be around, ...
