A great holiday activity for family and/or group of friends. I took my parents who are 70+ and they loved it. A nice way to see the Manhattan skyline while enjoying music, cookies, and drinks. I would also consider going back with a group of friends or as a date activity in the evening.

This was an amazing experience. Will be a bit cold outside while waiting, as you start boarding 5 min before departure. Still recommend getting there 15 minutes early if you plan on parking and checking in for your tickets. Luckily there is a facility right next door to get away from the wind. Once they started calling groups, we were all on board within 5-10 minutes. The captain explains the rules and then the real fun begins. There is a live band, which was a nice treat. Fresh hot chocolate… spiked option for the adults, with cookies that were so good. Nice your around the bridges and Statue of Liberty. You can move freely throughout the boat, with clean bathrooms for those who have to go. Outside was great… offering benches and lots of room to move around. The staff took good care of us and explained as much as they knew when we had questions. Would highly recommend, as this will not be our last time doing this.

Came here it’s a work group and we all loved it! We were pleasantly surprised we had a table reserved for our group of 9, and the musicians were fabulous. We went on a very rainy day but it was a smooth ride for the most part. Happy to have also discovered very clean bathrooms just down a few steps on the cruise. Alcoholic drinks were available for purchase and they passed out chocolates and rice krispie treats.
