New article on Cruise Critic says American Duchess will have two charter cruises starting March 15, and the new American Countess will have a preview cruise on March 21 followed by a revenue cruise March 28.

Cruise Critic will be on the first American Countess cruise, so look for updates!

I am with you in hoping all goes well also. We are booked on the Countess for May 1.

Hooray! Happy to hear that cruising is finally beginning. We don't cruise on the Duchess until August 1 so are hoping the summer is trouble-free for AQSC. Those of you on the Spring cruises, please post your experience on the restart.

A similar cruise line, American Cruise Lines, actually started sailing yesterday!

I’m waiting for the reports on AQSC as each line will do things slightly differently.  I found the information re Ocean cruises from MSC confusing as it bore no resemblance of what the line I hope to be on shortly expects to do.  
Good luck AQSC, especially with your first regular trips, will be watching with a vested interest and fingers crossed for third time lucky. N

We are booked for November. This is our first river cruise and we are so hopeful after two canceled cruises during COVID.  We hope all goes well with everyone's booked cruise. Good luck AQSC!

Good Luck, AQSC!!

 

 We are booked on the Duchess on June 13, and hope all the new procedures for COVID are “working like clockwork”!!  I really hope all those who are eligible for the vaccine will get their shots. We are sailing just 2 weeks before that becomes a requirement—-wish they had said June 1 instead of July 1!

 

So glad to be thinking about and planning a cruise again!
