Southern Hospitality and Service on the Mississippi by cruisetalk

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: American Heritage / Destination: River Cruises - United States

I am sold on the ease of river cruising - no competing for space in the common areas, no long corridors to travel, no running children (sorry - I'm over it!) and a staff that is, mostly young and eager to please and make your experience memorable.

Mississippi River Fun by diane4art

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: American Heritage / Destination: River Cruises - United States

I have taken several trips with American Cruiselines. They are top shelf. I love the small ship size and intimacy. On the big boats you never really meet people. The personal attention makes you feel important , not just a number. The staff really cares.

It was OK but not impressive. by MorningStar2

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: American Heritage

Setting aside the hurricane delay and the missed port which were not the cruise line's fault, we weren't really impressed with the ship or most of the excursions. Staff was great, ship was old, and the food was unimpressive except for a couple of meals. There was just no comparison between this river cruise and the European river cruise we took earlier in the year on AmaWaterways. We would be willing to give ACL a second chance since they have most of the US itineraries, but we would only choose a newer ship.
