5.00Make sure to get there a little before the ticket time to get a good spot near the edge of the boat. Also facing the front, the right side is the best view when the boat circles back and stops in front of the Statue of Liberty.

5.00We enjoyed the cruise. Mike the tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny. However we were rushed on the boat even though we had 10 minutes to board. People wanted to stop outside and the workers were rude. Then people kept getting in trouble for having their umbrellas open outside. To the point that the tour guide was yelling at them and we could all hear it.
Don’t waste your money
