Scam

1.00Over and over we were told things that were not true. The original marketing was an hour boat tour that would make a full 8 minute stop at the Statue of Liberty. The tour ended up being over 2 hours and did not stop at the statue whatsoever. The other information we were told that we would have the option to get off of the boat at where we got on or a different location, boat only came back to the original place.
Disappointing

1.00Sent them reference photos like they asked over a month ago, and have yet to recieve our photos. The person who took them on board could have pretended she was happier about taking them as well. I felt rushed and like I was bothering her.

5.00This tour was so fun. It was great to have a place to sit down on the inside of the boat and still be able to go on the deck to take pictures. Hot chocolate and food was a bonus. Highly recommend

2.00Constant upselling to VIP experience was tiring. Seems like VIP deck is the only deck where they actually clean the windows! Asking a question of staff was met with "Are you a VIP?" and wouldn't answer the question if you weren't. Constant loud music and "jokes" from the guide - very little interesting information / commentary about the sites.
Vague information about tours

1.00In terms of customer service, this company does not offer friendly , attentive or detailed information about the cruises. I’ve been to a lot of cruises where they state the exact time of sail, when to arrive and what to expect. The information is vague and they are not flexible. I wouldn’t book with them again for this reason. I believe in constructive criticism. Hope they work on doing better.
You guys can do better !
