First time on ACL. Wanted to see this part of U.S. Liked small ship atmosphere. 144 passengers.

Pre-cruise hotel: Need different place ;-( Embarkation/Debarkation smooth. Ship clean, well maintained; cabin spotless, room for everything, furnishings could use a bit of updating; add amenities such as small in-room safe, charging strip/plugs for electronics, as ship is 5 yrs old and in constant use. Dining: one seating per meal--1/2 portions available, room service available, plenty of between meal food at several points around ship. One definitely does NOT go hungry! Open bar during dining hours--no shortage of anything ;-) Average age of passengers on this cruise: 60+, some with mobility issues; no children on board. Entertainment was low key, lectures interesting and well done. Excursions: missed only one due to wildfires.

Service to the max, nothing was too much effort for any/all of the crew from Cruise Directors on down to deck hands. A real "can-do" attitude. Read more
