American Cruise Line

June

Pros: The food and dining room staff were very good (Anthony was great). The itinerary (New England Islands) and Cruise Line organized shore excursions were very good.

Cons: Unfortunately, the ship and amenities were below our expectations. The ship was in need of repair and updating. The cabins were small and there was inadequate space to store luggage after emptying. There was no safe or refrigerator in the room.

Recommended: No

The ship was designed for river cruising, making it very susceptible to a very rough ride. Even with minimal waves, this resulted in the dresser drawers sliding open and slamming shut repeatedly when the ship was underway. It was impossible to walk around when this was happening.

Wonderful Simplicity

December

Pros: All-American crew (no language struggles); quiet, serene atmosphere; older passengers; no embarkation/disembarkation hassles

Cons: Food choices adequate but not extensive.

Recommended: Yes

The "American Star" presents a warm welcome with a serene atmosphere. The ship is small (100 passengers max) thus easy to navigate. There is no glitz - just clean, straightforward comfort - with an outstanding American crew. We will certainly sail with American Cruise Lines again.
