1.00Despite the Extreme weather warnings and national alert the tour company was happy to keep operating. The Governor of New York recommended people travel home early and not to be travelling during the storms. Refused to refund any purchase as said would go rain or shine. Just shows this company has no thought for people safety and well being, is happy to take your money regardless despite significant concerns and damage to lives.
Great

4.00The staff on the boat are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The woman at the kiosk has little job skills for dealing with people who are tourists and have never been to your waterfront port area. Instead of given helpful information to people who arrive early for boarding, her response to “We’re here for the Statue of Liberty cruise” is “Over there,” that’s it. No information for boat boarding time or that there was a sign halfway down the port area with a roped off queuing area. No information about who would be scanning tickets to board. The security person who arrived at 9:20 just said to the group of us who were there to “Go over there” while opening up the access to the queuing area. Of course the people who were now given free rein to fill in the new space didn’t respect those who had been there first according to your first come first served policy. The security person was much better at taking pictures for people that our first liaison with your company. We stood in full sunlight for an hour with 94 degree weather waiting for the boat to arrive shortly before 9:45.
