Perfect storm

Our trip was cancelled because of a storm, but the cancellation was dealt with perfectly. We were notified as soon as they knew it was happening, we were offered rebookings the next day, and when that didn't work for us they gave is a refund immediately. We shall definitely be booking again. Hopefully with no storms this time

Sunset colors in the Big Apple seen from the river that surrounds it

The judgment on dinner price and service would be from three dots (so not bad), the beauty of the short (expensive) dots cruise deserves five. Chelsea Pier, 🚢 at the first dusk at 7 pm, we are not many on board, despite being Saturday night, evident that the more than 120 💸 dollars per person have made selection. Buffet with good orecchiette with garlic cream (you can find it almost everywhere in the kitchen .. I don’t mind but ..) then pans of stewed pork bites, a red fish itself seasoning, three boiled vegetables including their good potatoes, pilaw rice. Excellent that Roast Beef cooked to the point, fresh fruit salad and several sweets disputed between the ladies, all according to the formula “all you can eat” 😋 And since in the first three days to not miss the City, we went to “buns on the fly” 🥪 .. here we gave our best 🤪. Also here water 🚰 ice included, wine and beer from the prohibitive cost. At 8pm we drop what the speakers are for in the middle of the room: D. J. set 💽 at great volume 🔊where, when you return from the tolda for a photo to the wonderful pre-night landscape (windy), you can warm up in 💃 wild dances until the mooring at 21:30. Welcome the chocolate 🍫 offered on landing.

Pierre, thank you for taking some time to provide your valuable feedback. We are delighted to hear you had a great time, but it looks like you may have left this review for the wrong company. We do offer cruises from Chelsea Piers, but we do not currently offer dinner, except on private charters, and our ticketed evening cruises are not 2.5 hours long. I don't see a recent private event that matches the details you have shared. At this time of year, we operate the classic yachts Manhattan, Manhattan II, and Manhattan III. Please kindly check that you have posted your review to the correct company. Thank you! - Classic Harbor Line
