Review summary

ACL is the only line we will cruise with! " Small ship cruising, done perfectly" is their motto and it's absolutely accurate. A marvelous experience was had by my husband and me on the recent Whale Watching cruise in the San Juan Islands, on the American Constellation. Many whales were seen by all, and we were alerted without fail to any action in the water. This was our first experience cruising the San Juans and it was amazing! Such excellent service and accommodations are not to be found on any other cruise line. We were always greeted by friendly smiles and sincere desire to accommodate our every wish. The food - how delicious! Again, the staff in the dining room were swift and accurate, and on such a small cruise they got to know our names and our preferences. Lecturers and music were excellent, as was the art class held each day. We knew Captain Bryan from an earlier cruise and he was welcoming and friendly once again.We highly recommend American Cruise Line!
