"Such a wonderful cruise with American Cruise Line that has left me recharged for the New Year – and ready to book our next cruise on one of the new Eagle Class of catamaran-inspired small ships that will debut on the East Coast!Under the leadership of Hotel General Manager Shavar Cubit, this year’s cruise definitely had extra festive elements for its guests – a gingerbread house making session, tasteful decorations, a holiday gift exchange for those who wanted to participate, chocolate gifts delivered (personally presented to each room by the GM before dinner on New Year’s Eve) and the inclusion of crew members who we shared the dance floor with at the midnight celebration...."Read More
Wanted to experience the lower Mississippi River, and this cruise was an excellent way to do that. Small number of passangers made the cruise a delight, while never feeling crowded or having to wait in any line for any service. This was our third trip on an American Cruise Line ship, and the service and personnel are over the top excellent. Could not hope for a better vacation.
Food was ...
We chose this cruise because it was an eagle society cruise. We been on right at 14 cruises. Everything was so beautifully plated at dinner, especially the desserts. They had all kind of different styles. We had never seen a chocolate Acl before and this is our 14th cruise with American Cruise Lines it was very unique a lot of it was very thought out one night we had a cherry compote cheesecake it ...
We did this cruise because Memphis/ Mississippi/Graceland were on our bucket list. American Cruiselines are not cheap but well worth the extra cost. The ship was spotless, food fabulous and staff were amazing. Loved that the tour bus followed the ship so that we could take the coach at every port. (Great for those difficulty with walking). I am vegan and the Executive Chef Guy catered for me ...
First and foremost, the accolades go to the crew of the 2022/23 Holiday Cruise.
American Cruise Line must have hand selected their A plus PLUS employees to join together to make this a seamless and enjoyable voyage. Under the leadership of Hotel General Manager Shavar Cubit, this year’s cruise definitely had extra festive elements for its guests – a gingerbread house making session, tasteful ...
The beautifully appointed American Melody was a great place to celebrate the beginning of 2023!
Decorated for the holidays with tasteful wreaths, a ‘tree of poinsettias” in the lobby, and a decorated tree in the River Lounge. As soon as you boarded the ship you had a visual reminder that this was a holiday-themed cruise.
SPECIAL IT WAS! The entire crew was outstanding and the service was ...
I chose this Cruise because I wanted to celebrate the holidays in a festive atmosphere. And it was really festive. The boat was decorated with all kinds of Christmas and Holiday decorations. Everybody was in a holiday mood on board. They were lots of Christmas activities and they gave us Christmas presents several nights. On Christmas Day we had all kinds of fun Christmas activities and a gift ...
We have cruised well over 900 days on ocean going ships and I wanted to try a river cruise. Having lived in Wisconsin and Illinois all our lives, we decided a cruise down the Mississippi River would be a good start. We embarked on the American Cruise Lines ship the Melody on November 4th at Red Wing, Minnesota. Embarkation was very smooth and probably took less than 15 minutes. Our itinerary ...
What could be better than cruising the Mississippi in with the glorious colors of fall in October? This cruise was beautiful and relaxing and was a Mark Twain cruise. An actor portraying Mark Twain gave talks about the river and his time. There was also a tea with him for a more intimate setting.
A husband and wife talked about the river and entertained at night. Local musical talent was also ...
My wife and I chose this cruise because the Upper Mississippi River is so beautiful and the cities along the way, quaint and charming. American Cruise Lines offered just what we wanted. Their ship, American Melody one of their newest, was extraordinary. We started our journey in St Louis and traveled to Hannibal, MO the home of Mark Twain. "Mark" joined our cruise and gave lectures and tours on ...
We’ve always wanted to cruise along the Mississippi River, and we’re glad we did it with American Cruise Line. It was an enjoyable and relaxing cruise experience. We had a terrific guest speaker, Bobby Durham, who not only gave port talks, but also entertained us with his banjo. Piano players Greg on the first 7 days and Jeff on the second 7 days were very talented and kept us tapping our toes ...
