Onboard Activities
The American Cruise Lines experience is much different than what a guest on a large cruise ship can expect. The atmosphere is more casual, and the onboard entertainment is likely to be a local guest lecturer or a local musician. The ships feature well-stocked libraries and a selection of DVDs and videos so the guests can educate themselves about the areas they are visiting.
Dining on board an American Cruise Lines ship is a memorable experience. The meals are prepared by fully-trained chefs who use only the highest quality ingredients. The daily menus include foods that reflect local and regional specialties. The atmosphere is casual and seating is unassigned. Guests are encouraged to meet and mingle with each other, and the complimentary drinks and hors d'oeuvres that are served before dinner help to break the ice.
