American Heritage Cruise Reviews - Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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.

Historical Southern living was a great adventure for people of all ages. The Mississippi river was a little low but the ports were always available with a golf cart ready to help those that needed it and a cold water bottle was always offered to each passenger . I have done this one two years in a row and saw more the second time because I knew what to expect. It was great both times with this cruise line. Each days adventure is what you make of it!

Small Ship Cruising is the perfect way to travel if you want an intimate setting where you may embark as a stranger but you soon will meet many new travel companions!

No doubt in my mind when choosing this cruise. Love the small ship atmosphere. 'Food and service was always top notch. Tours were so informative along with the speaker that educated us before each tour. Fun time was the arts and crafts . Embarking and disembarking was so smooth. The staff had everything under control at all times. Totally, this cruise was everything I expected and more. I can't wait to take another cruise like this one.
