4.00Boarding was good. Games and vibe was on point. Food ran out by the time our tables were up. Certain items were refilled. Food kind of bland. Variety of options. New staff training, service not as fast. No straws provided. Minimum napkins. Shrimp and crab dis greasy but tasty.
Fun on the water

5.00Fun trip. The seating is assigned. Tables are called up in order to get the buffet. Food was good. Careful when traveling on the stairs and open decks, the floor may be slippery! Very Clean. Very nicely done.
Perfect. 10/10 Experience.

5.00The best part of our whole trip. The boat (ship?) was decorated beautifully, the buffet was delicious, and all of the staff were kind and so helpful. I use a wheelchair and they had no issues accommodating me.
Beautiful lunch cruise

5.00food was good, I would have liked more variety in the flavor profiles. A tad disappointed a lot of the ship was inaccessible to us. Maybe weather related as we were not allowed on upper deck. Staff was great Cabin warm.
Smooth sailing

5.00We enjoyed this tour. Everyone was very friendly and pleasant, food was great, the DJ did a great job even got on the dance floor and dance with us, so if you're considering going please do. We will do it again if we ever come back to New York!
Great experience

5.00Wow great experience! Such a fun way to see the city, food and drinks were great, and the crew was awesome. The ship did rock quite more than I was expecting but never felt ill

3.00All of the staff was friendly & accommodating from arrival onto the dock. Upon boarding, there was a faint & unplesant "mildew" smell while we walked onto the boat. Our table waitress was extremely nice & attentive, she was just busy, so it took a while for us to receive drink orders. The food buffet was not good. The food lacked flavor & our choices were mid & avrage. We hoped for something a bit more "special" & food that was more tasty & fun. I will look for future cruises where I can review the menu before buying the trip. Overall, I enjoyed the experience & would reccomended it to others.
Disappointed

1.00Lost $500 for 4 guests. We missed the boat but tried to call beforehand to reschedule but couldn’t reach nobody. Representative tried to admin ticket time from 12- 12:45pm but charged my card for the wrong location
