I went on this cruise in early May.  The staff was delightful. The ports were great.  Very relaxing cruise.  The pastry chef was amazing.

 

🐧 QuirkyCruise.com’s American Cruise Lines Review

An American-flag coastal and inland river company manned by an all-American crew, the line operates nine vessels (passenger capacities 100-185) offering a high level of comfort while undertaking a varied menu of itineraries along the U.S. East Coast from Florida to New England, the Mississippi River system, Columbia and Snake rivers in the Pacific Northwest, and North to Alaska and cruises within S.E. Alaska. American Cruise Lines has built all its vessels (except the acquired QUEEN OF THE WEST) in its Chesapeake Bay yard, hence there are many similarities between ships. Sister brand, Pearl Seas Cruises, operates the Pearl Mist on Cuban, Great Lakes, Eastern Canada & USA itineraries. Read more.

    Very expensive mistake. The shower did not drain. It took 6 hours to get shower drained and bathroom cleaned.
    The food was subpar. Some meals were like eating at a fast food restr.

    The ship was old and out dated.

    Never again.

I have traveled between all continents by sea and cruised along three dozen rivers. Ships and travel are in my blood, and so is writing. My journeys have translated into many books and many hundreds of articles.
