Bad food, great boat.

3.00The ship is beautiful. The service was great. However, the food not so much. My wife and I both ordered the short rib and it was absolutely the worst short rib I’ve ever eaten or seen in my life. Literally. We paid $750. For this amount of money, they could definitely order more premier cuts of meat. Meat was tough and extremely fatty.

5.00This experience was by far one of the most amazing things we did in NYC for Christmas. The staff was attentive and efficient. The food was delicious. Every course was so good. My daughter really enjoyed her drink. The music was fantastic! They sung a variety from Christmas to present day that appealed to all ages. The views of the skyline, Brooklyn Bridge and especially the Statue of Liberty were amazing. I would definitely recommend this cruise.

4.00The night cruise is beautiful aboard her fully glazed boat. What a view of NYC! Really to be done to get a different view of Manhattan. The live music group adds a glamorous atmosphere. However, a little disappointed with the quality of the meal. For the price, I expected better. Unforgettable family experience. I recommend.
A must if in NYC

4.00The boat, views and service is all very magical. However be aware that although the food included on the paid for menu is lovely, the promotional YouTube video food is extra cost eg steak additional $75, sharing amazing looking fish platter additional $125. Bit misleading but we still had a lovely time.
10/10 Highly recommend

5.00Thoroughly enjoyed our time on the Bateaux, all staff members were full of Christmas cheer - especially Tim who took great care of us. The food isn’t ‘amazing’ but it was nice & the skyline views of NY, New Jersey & the up close view of the Statue of Liberty more than compensates for this. The drinks on board aren’t expensive which was a shock (in a good way haha). The entertainers really give it their all. Thanks again everyone, would highly recommend to anyone! X
