Review summary
All good. We took the cruise in February 2020 and it was cold outside so I was worried we would freeze during the sail but it was very warm inside the boat. However if you want to take pictures and videos without the window glass reflection on them, you’d need to step outside so be sure to dress appropriately. Enjoyed the views of Statue of Liberty close enough and Manhattan skyline and that they played NY thematic music on the way back. (The music could have been on during the entire cruise.) Friendly staff too.

Get there early to secure a seat ! There are very few seats on the upper deck that allow you to get a great view. Once you’ve missed them you will need to stand. It wasn’t too bad for us but if it had been choppy standing would not have been easy. Great tour guide giving interesting commentary and an excellent opportunity to get stunning shots of the Statue of Liberty and the New York skyline.

It was amazing! The traffic to our starting point was crazy! We made it there 5 minutes before, we were lucky! I recommend going early to beat traffic.
