Review summary

The Columbia/Snake river on The American Pride was truly amazing. We had an incredible crew that took care of us. The speaker, David Miller not only delivered a great lecture on Lewis and Clark expedition, but enhanced our experience by displaying artifacts and foliage of the region. David gave us information about the many locks we went through. Lots of historical facts. Arts and crafts classes also enhanced the experience as the art instructor taught us watercolor paintings, and crafts related to the region. Diana, the hotel manager onboard taught yoga in the mornings. The food was excellent and services are superb. All these took place while cruising along spectacular sceneries. The ports we stopped along the way, were very interesting and historical. Two weeks wasn’t enough to capture all the beauty of this region. I couldn’t stop taking pictures. My friends were amazed at the incredible pictures I shared with them.

Glad your sailing was better than ours last October. However, Dave Miller was the highlight of our trip as well. Appreciate your feedback on your riverboat cruise!
