Good if you are looking for 90 minutes on the water

3.00Would have preferred that they broadcast what was on the app rather than the music. The app worked for me but not for others so next time we will take a more educational tour that describes what you are seeing.
Beautiful NYC sunset cruise

4.00This was a beautiful cruise! Definitely get in line early if you want a seat on the second or third floor. But you can get up and walk around throughout the cruise. All sides of the boat get views of the skyline and the Statue of Liberty because they turn it around. Music is played throughout. People can be a little rude getting in your way for their own picture as they run from side to side. But outside of that, it’s a solid cruise with great views. Debbie with brief commentary was very funny and informative, but as she said, this is a cruise, not a tour. Can be a little chilly in October so bring a jacket or sweatshirt if you’re outside.
Great way to spend 90min.

5.00More people on board than I expected but it was still great. You could sit/go outside or sit inside and look out the windows. Great views, great vibe. There were couples, there were some families, wide range of people in general. There is a bar and food available as well. Lots going on at the nearby piers for before or after if you like.
A must
