5.00It was an amazing experience!!! The boat, the route and everything was very nice! We saw the Statue of Liberty, and the ship changes position so everyone can take their pictures no matter which side they're sitting on. The guide Debbie was very friendly and friendly! Enjoy the tour to the fullest! You can't ask for more!

3.00Got there 45 minutes early and barely got a decent seat outside. They assured us everyone would have an opportunity to see the Statue of Liberty as the captain rotates the ship. This was a sunset cruise and it was already getting dark. The captain kept the right side of the ship facing the statue the entire sunset and then when he turned the ship to our side it was dark and couldn’t even get good pictures to show her face. The ship was totally full so no way to go to the right side unless you want to be rude and stand in front of peoples seats which many people did. The rest of the cruise was pretty seeing the buildings lit up at night but very sad we didn’t get to see the Statue of Liberty very well.
