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.

Sailing on a Paddleboat on the Ohio River - Wonderful! by Mesajandc

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

Another great cruise on ACL - first time on a paddlewheel. We really enjoyed the Ohio River - one of the prettiest we've been on. Lots of lochs for those who enjoy watching those operations. Each town had something of interest to see, and learning more about the southern / midwestern culture and history was so enlightening to this westerner.
