Creator's Key Takeaways

American Cruise Lines I don't know if you're familiar but they've been around for 50 years they're always owned by the same family the Robertson

the cruise was kind of based around that theme of Lewis and Clark we arrived at early and did the jet boat ride through the canyon

the ship's very easy to get around and lots of outdoor space that you can sit on on every level

we enjoyed the the food was really nice and they great presentation the lunches were great
