American Song

National Parks and Legendary Rivers

July

Pros: Beautiful, varied scenery, interesting and educational excursions, great food and entertainmant

Cons: The bus tour of the parks is very intense. No free time during the day for a break. Days could be from 7 a.m. until 9:00 p.m.

Recommended: Yes

If doing both parks and rivers, I would highly suggest doing the parks first . This was my 8th trip with American Cruise Lines and I think they do a fantastic job!!

I had said in survey that hooks were too high on door & wall & shower head was directed at my upper body (face)...I am under 5' By the time I returned to my cabin a few hours later both suggestions had been "fixed"!

Columbia/Snake Rivers Cruise

May

Pros: Riverlorian Todd Weber, Excursions, Staff, Comfort of Ship

Cons: Dinner options & service not as outstanding as prior ACL experiences.

Recommended: Yes

Our experience in the Northwest was outstanding due to Todd's knowledge and personality. Our excellent excursions were enhanced by his talks. The American Song is a beautiful and very comfortable ship. The attention and friendliness of all the staff made our trip all the more enjoyable.

Excellent Staff and Ship

May

Pros: Staff goes above and beyond, ship is new and very nicely furnished

Cons: Fitness room could use a universal gym machine, entertainment quality was sporadic

Recommended: Yes

Food was really good - chef went above and beyond to accommodate a food allergy I have, Staff was very involved in creating a warm and welcoming experience as well as quickly taking care of any needs we had.
