Nice lunch, but boat never left the dock

The lunch was good, but after waiting almost 1 1/2 hrs, we were first told we'd be underway soon, then a few minutes later, that there were mechanical difficulties, so we were staying dockside. They did comp our drinks, but never offered more, and forgot our dessert until we reminded them much later. Singer/pianist was good.

1st class service

To the Captain and Crew, thank you for a safe trip. In addition, I would like to send a special bouquet of gratitude to Cassandra, Kemore, and Pete for your 1st class service. From the welcome aboard to the end of my voyage, I was treated as though the journey was designed just for me. The hospitality, the food, the scenery, the music, the line dance, the local stories, and the history lesson of NYS and the Hudson River demonstrates your commitment to excellent customer service.

Operator response

Thank you, Bee J! We're thrilled to hear you had a memorable experience with our captain and crew. Your kind words about Cassandra, Kemore, and Pete truly highlight our team's dedication to providing exceptional service. We hope to welcome you aboard again for another unforgettable journey!

This was such a great...

This was such a great experience. All of the staff was so, so friendly and the sights were beautiful. We got a window seat which was nice because we didn’t have to go outside to see most of the landmarks. A great option for a gift!

A pleasant and memorable journey

We had a lovely experience from start to finish. Great staff. Professional, courteous. They made us feel comfortable. Our server, Ashley, was excellent, attentive. Our food was very good, great chicken with a delicious mustard sauce and a fantastic Tiramisu for dessert. The only small quibble, the otherwise good gnocchi - its sauce was just ok. But this was a small matter in an otherwise enchanting day. The ride was so smooth, great scenery. It was a pleasure to be out in the water and part of the NY harbor experience.

NYC Day Cruise

Nice and comfortable cruise ride with spectacular views of NYC. The food was good but the service can be improved. My waiter wasn't very attentive at all. Minimum attention and service to my table. I guess it is a good value for the price, but experience not to be repeated. Also there is no refund for this tour if you change your mind.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your experience, Joseph. We’re glad you enjoyed the views and food, but we apologize for the service issues you encountered. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll work on improving our attentiveness. We hope you’ll consider us again in the future for a better experience.
