Review summary

My husband and I -- both frequent travelers with American Cruises Lines -- had a wonderful time cruising the Puget Sound and San Juan Islands. Since we are from the East Coast, these two weeks gave us the opportunity to visit a part of the country with which we were unfamiliar. And, because of the length of the journey, we got a chance to participate in lots of wonderful excursions. Getting a chance to take a jet boat adventure was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And the whale watching is not to be missed. Not even were the whales visible during the whale-watching excursions, they were visible on many occasions -- one of which it seemed that two of them decided to put on a performance for we travelers. Fun and exciting! While all of the excursions were worthwhile, highlights included Hurricane Ridge, the Lavender Farm and Deception Pass. Also, among the many positives with an ACL cruise is the spacious room and wonderful bath. We had plenty of room and storage space to accommodate all our needs. Finally, though, the most important plus we have found with every ACL cruise is the staff -- always helpful, courteous, and smiling. They are especially gracious and helpful to passengers that need a little extra help. All ACL passengers are blessed with such a fine group of people.
