Sail Date: Oct 2016

In early October, 2016 we cruised on the America, which is part of the American Cruise Line from New Orleans, LA to Memphis, TN. We also thought it would be relaxing and a nice way to learn more about the history in this part of our country.

We noticed in the brochure that the Cruise Line was giving a Pre-cruise hotel stay and transportation to the boat. When I called to arrange this, they told me we booked too early and were not eligible to get the hotel stay or the transportation. I was told on the boat that it was good we stayed elsewhere because the hotel was nowhere they would normally stay....bad start.

Since we were in New Orleans a couple days early, we took a walk on Friday to see the boat. We called the American Cruise Line office to make sure it would be there Friday and they told us it was already there....NO BOAT....it was not coming in until 5 PM that day.

Cabin Review

Very clean when we embarked, but not kept great for the whole trip.
