Dining
The dining experience with American Cruise Lines is a very special one. Each ship has a spacious dining salon that seats all passengers at one time. Our highly skilled chefs trained at the some of the most prestigious Culinary Institutes prepare each meal to order with the utmost care and quality. There are a variety of choices at every meal that frequently include a specialty dish highlighting flavors from the local region. The young, all-American dining room staff is always friendly and accommodating, and eager to pamper you, making sure that your dining experience is just the way you like it.
The atmosphere for dining is informal - no gowns or tuxedos, please - but do sit with whomever you like. Each table has an outside view, so take your time - meals are cooked to order and this is a great time to build new friendships.
Kids Programs
Children
American Cruise Lines ships and itineraries are designed for travelers who share an interest in history, culture and nature. Guests truly enjoy the onboard ambiance, and feel very at home in our huge lounges, single-seating dining salon, and oversized staterooms.
Thus while children are welcome there are no specific facilities or baby sitting services provided.
Tipping
Tipping is, of course, at the individual's preference, but American Cruise Lines asks that you do not tip until the last day of the trip. A customary amount is US$125.00 per person, but feel free to tip as you see appropriate. Cash, personal or travelers' checks are the preferred method. Credit cards are also accepted, with requests that passengers paying with credit cards contact the Hotel Manager at least one day before the end of the cruise.
