This cruise up the intracoastal waterway from Amelia Island FL to Charleston SC was a pleasant, leisurely tour. The highlights of the trip were visits to Savannah and Charleston, both already decked out for the holidays. The Charleston tour featured a spectacular holiday light display. Tours focused on the nature of the wetlands and the teeming life that they contained, as well as the legacy of slavery and the economy built in this region. The ship itself was comfortable, but seemed a bit dated in its furnishings. We would recommend this tour highly.

It rained too much, not their fault. Hurricane Lee, 2 days spent in port. More rain. We got colds. No whale watching. Food wasn’t all that great. Doubt I’ll take another ACL vacation.

This was our first cruise experience of any kind, and it was marvelous. Accommodations were clean and surprisingly spacious with a private balcony to enjoy the passing wonder. Food was exquisite with a great deal of variety. I don’t believe that a single meal was ever repeated. The crew were all friendly and truly appeared to enjoy working with us. We had such a wonderful experience that we actually booked a second cruise while we were on the ship.

Captain and crew very professional and competent. Captain is experienced at Alaskan waters and did great job reaching many "hard to get to" places for glacier and wildlife watch. The scenery and wildlife we saw on the trip was fantastic and exceeded expectations. Food quality was good, especially in the dining room. The buffet that was set up in fourth floor lounge for breakfast and lunch was not organized well and quickly became a mess. ACL should have kept to the dining room protocols or only had continental breakfast up there. Too many free range passengers were making a mess out of it

The 8 day trip fulfilled my highest expectations. I loved the lectures, the outings, the crew, the food, the daily music. Didn’t love that the elevator was down on occasion. Just one of those things.

Excellent cruise. Great ship. Very well taken care of by every crew member. Excellent food, entertainment, and amenities.

The serving staff EXCEEDED our expectations!!!Wonderful group of very young people who knew how to work together as a team or individuals to ensure a lovely cruise for all. We enjoyed all of them !!! As for the office staff, I had to ask several times to ensure passage on my next cruise with American Cruise Line…and get information for hotels in the area. But, calling ACK on the phone ….it’s also hard to get answers. Seems their Management Teams need a little re-education about procedures… I will say they were are very courteous and pleasant. Just a little too laid back with complicating g
