Wonderful Trip on the Ohio by megmerritt

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

We’ve been on many ACL cruises; and, as usual, this one lived up to expectations: A beautiful ship; great food and libations; knowledgeable speaker; multiple fun excursions, creative and useful arts & crafts projects; and entertaining nightly shows. What has always been the outstanding feature of ACL's cruises, however, has been their people. They are incredibly friendly and so very helpful to mobility challenged passengers.

THE MEMORABLE MIGHTY MISSISSIPPI ADVENTURE by cruisetalk

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: American Melody

I have begun a love affair with the Mighty Mississippi! American Cruise Line has this itinerary down - from the delicious food with the local flavors and dishes included, the music that represents the Southern Mississippi to the well organized excursions. The Melody is a beautiful ship and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to come aboard. We docked next to one of their paddleboats in port in Vacherie, La and I am looking into THAT boat for next year's adventure!

Luxuriating on the Ship without needing to LEAVE! by cruisetalk

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

This was our third trip on the lower Mississippi and this New Year's Eve cruise was the best staffed by far. I can only rave about the service and genuine hospitality from the staff. We even had the opportunity to share the dance floor with some of our servers during the New Year's Eve party and the crew talent show was the most attended event on the cruise. Excellent food/wonderful staff - everything I could have asked for!

The laundry room was easy to use, they provide everything you need, so you can really pack light for this trip. The dress onboard is country club casual.
