Great staff..fun excursions..good food..met some fun couples

Food was great, attentive service. Kenneth, our room attendant was very sweet, and took great care of the housekeeping needs.

The cruise director was new and we have had better.
Tom, the speaker and historian was very good.

Everything was handled very well in spite of the Nor'easter. Eric, the Captain, did a tremendous job keeping us safe and then taking us on a cruise around the Statue of Liberty during dinner the last night.
The food was outstanding! The waitstaff we encountered were great as well.

Our cruise was interrupted by the Nor’Easter and the crew made up for it on big ways! They went out of their way, big time, to schedule new excursions and to continue to make our cruise special! Nice job American Cruise Lines!

Service is outstanding

Our cruise was excellent from beginning to end, including handling the unexpected nor'easter! All staff, from the captain down, did their best to accommodate the necessary changes and keep us safe and happy!

Had a great time. The ship was clean at all times, food was tasty and entertainment was wonderful. Excursions were interesting. Staff and service were exceptional. Highly recommended!

Food and entertainment were great as usual. Was disappointed that all the cruising was done at night. Would have been nice to have one or two after to enjoy the coastline and rivers of Maine.

Service, food, scenery.

Alaska is beautiful! We thought the excursions were great. The crew were amazing, courteous, polite, friendly and always met ours needs. The speaker Bobby was great too. Always had great talks about Alaska. We were always well fed with great meals . It was good as a great hotel but better because of the people , all the staff ! We’re booked another cruise already . I think the only downside was the hotel in Juneau we had no hot water or tv. But that sisnt really affect our experience. I would recommend it to anyone .

We did the Alaskan Adventure 12-day cruise to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We arrived in Juneau on August 26 and boarded the ship the next day after a couple of excursions along the way. We had the trip of a lifetime. The food was delicious; the crew were wonderful and so service oriented. The ports we visited were all amazing, and we enjoyed all of the included excursions. We looked forward to the daily enrichment by the American Ambassadors, the happy hours and the evening entertainment. Our Cruise Director, Kristen, kept everyone engaged, starting each morning with "on this date in history". This was our first cruise, but I am already looking into a New England cruise for the future. I have recommended American Cruise Lines to all my friends and family. It was such a wonderful experience.

This was our third ACL trip. Obviously, we returned because you fit the way we like to vacation. Friendly, casual, thoughtful. comfortable!

We are writing this review for folks who are interested in a cruise with American Cruise Lines (ACL).
We participated in a two-week long Great Lakes cruise, travelling westward from Buffalo, NY to Milwaukee, WI, stopping at nine locations around Lake Huron and Lake Michigan. This cruise line is perfect for those travelers born before 1963; it is slow paced and accommodating.
We took part in both complimentary and paid on-shore excursions. We ate nearly every meal on the vessel and spent many an evening gathered with our newly made friends, socializing on the open-air top deck or in the entertainment lounge.
We have not traveled with this cruise company before. We feel that we are reasonably well-seasoned, having been onboard with Viking, Oceania, NCL, RCI, Holland America, and Disney. Yet, this was a completely new experience for us.
We have so much to say:
Our engagement with the ACL travel department was a pleasant experience. The pre-Cruise coordination through the ACL website was satisfying and well organized. Each timed step through the planning process resulted in a successful trip.
ACL takes the extra step of housing the registered passengers conveniently at a nearby hotel the day before the ship leaves port. This assures passengers are assembled and ready for an exciting adventure and allows the ship to embark as scheduled.
Getting on (and off) the ship is controlled via a crew-held scanning system as experienced travels will recognize as the industry standard.
The ship is a beauty; built in 2025 with six decks. You can find more details about the American Patriot online. It is modern, with state-of-the-art conveniences. The ship was clean at all times; nothing ever looked out of place or in need of repair. The (small boat) tender was fit and ready for service when needed.
Every crewmember we met was friendly and knowledgeable. They accommodated all of our few requests. They worked as a crew; that is to say each member helped the others to keep the service (whatever kind it was) flowing.
Our introduction to the Cruise Director was a pleasant experience. Her demeanor and skill in making passengers comfortable yet keeping to the ship’s varied schedule was impressive. Throughout the day, she made her presence known, through periodic announcements or personal appearances at the various venues within the ship.
The sit-down dining room meals on-board were well planned with restaurant quality ingredients. They used local food when possible. Every meal included vegetarian options; half-portions were available as well. Their professional chefs prepared and served beef, veal, chicken, crab, salmon, halibut, and pork. Plate presentation was noteworthy. The serving crew were mostly knowledgeable about the daily meals. When possible they were able to combine or substitute dishes, providing a satisfying meal. Service was timely; every plate came out at the appropriate temperature.
For those passengers looking for buffet-style dining, ACL provides a casual atmosphere on the top deck. However, it is fast food; hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, quesadillas, and the like. You order from the menu, take a number, and once the food is ready, you will be served. Casual dining with excellence!
Cocktail Hour appeared every day at 5:30PM, featuring ‘the drink of the day,’ coupled with very tasty appetizers, often prepared by the Sous Chef. This is in addition to the never-ending availability of drinks throughout the day – both top shelf alcohol and non-alcoholic.
As daylight faded to the west, shipboard entertainment comes alive. Afternoon and evening entertainment varied from parlor games, to magic shows, to Name That Tune, to Dixieland quartets, with the ubiquitous (Not So) Newlywed game; certainly no casinos, no overfilled hot tubs, no discos or “best sexy knees” or “biggest belly” contests here. The Resident Entertainer kept his audience engaged in each presentation or enthralled with each performance.
ACL made each port destination an adventure – also included. The Excursion Director made sure that information for each landing was readily available and in quantity. She made announcements in plenty of time for any passenger to make adjustments if necessary.
The variety of excursions offered included park and museum visits, historic sites, city highlight tours, brewery or wine extravaganzas, and even a visit to an ice cream parlor. The administrative flow for any of these visits was such a pleasure; there was no fumbling for admissions, tickets, or seating.
The excursions are varied. ACL uses local guides who know much about the area or city you are visiting. The excursions are varied. ACL uses local guides who know much about the area or city you are visiting.
There's more to say, but no space.

Lovely new ship, great service and informative speakers. Staterooms nice size and comfortable, food was very good.

As a whole, I thought the cruise was just great. If I had any recommendations or considerations, it would be
I thought the food was the weakest part of your cruise this time. Perhaps you have found this approach works for you. But I felt it lacking. So few choices and the quality was just not there.
I would have loved to know more about how the lock works —a heads up about some of the sites we saw from the ship – Mount Hood, for instance. Only by chance did I see it and I was the one who went into the backyard café and told everybody there. I think there were those who did not leave the ship – it would’ve been nicer for them to know what they were saying along the way. When we took excursions, of course we learned a bit. Perhaps everyone went on excursions – I don’t know.
Perhaps I missed hearing anything about it?
I thought the music during the cocktail hour downstairs was enjoyable the night Bill and Laura just quietlysang old favorites. Maybe that’s my age – 85. On this special red, white and blue and hot white nights, the music made the party memorable. Just would like to have had a little mix on that.!
The staff was lovely, the ship was lovely,

Good food;good excursions

Everything was top notch. Something that does need to be addressed is airborne pathogens. We spent All that money to get covid. Everyone was coughing and thinking it was because of over 100 outside and ac inside causing it. Ac was causing it alright it was circulating it. Maybe some kind of electrical arcing and iv filters. Maybe check for fevers before/during.
I don't know that would be your research. But anything to keep no just your passengers safe but your employees. Very disappointed but I don't want to not travel.
