5.00Our cruise started at 5:15 and that couldn’t have been a better time. We got to see things in daylight and sunset. You could be warm and cozy inside and get good views or be on the deck for spectacular views. The captain did a great job narrating so you knew what you were seeing. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

1.00We got to the port 1 hour early the girl at the desk gave us wrong tickets we spent 150.00 on taxi. Broke my wife's heart or last night in New York. No offer to pay for the money for taxi to get to hotel and back. Not even a call back. Very disappointed and disorganized. We watch 2 other boats board and not one of the employees even thought to notice we had wrong tickets. THE WORST EXPERIENCE IN CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Beautiful and romantic

5.00A lovely boat in immaculate condition. Complimentary drinks were a nice surprise and everything was perfect. If cruise boats were classified, I would say this was First Class travel.

1.00We got to pier 62 where we it says to be. And says ro check in by 5:30. Yes we were running late by 3 mins (New York traffic unpredictable) and they were already gone. Not just left the dock but not in sight. We paid a lot of money for this o feel like a little grace could of been shown by an email or text. Nothing.
The boat was absolutely...
