It was my birthday and we booked this cruise and did not even get to go !! the description to get there was beyond less than helpful . There was no parking near the nbc tower that was available! I also reached out to the trip host trying and never received a response! It was the first event of my birthday and it was ruined! I’m sure it would have been lovely had we even been able to attend! I’d look into city experiences next time !!

If you are looking for a relaxing, classy experience that makes you feel special and a bit pampered then this is for you. The food was very good, the staff very professional, and the tour guide knowledgeable. He would speak a little then silence for a good bit of time so you could enjoy conversation at your table while contemporary chic music played in the background.
