| I took the New Years Day brunch.
The ticket said we should arrive 40 minutes before departure. They didn't let us on the boat until departure time. Waiting in the hallways of Chelsea Pier was almost unbearable because it was so cold.
But once we got on the boat the indoor area was heated so it was very comfortable.
The boat is smaller then I expected but it was bigger then you thought when you got on.
We had a full boat trip. That was about 30 people. With everyone indoors due to the cold weather, we had to sit hip to hip in the indoor heated area.
The brunch was tasty. The buffet area was very small. So the food came out in 4 stages.
The views from the boat where good because we had a clear day. The windows were somewhat dirty, so that impaired the view a little. I saw them clean the windows at the start of the trip so I guess the river water dirtied them the windows again as we traveled.
Most people did not complain of sea sickness. But my grandmother started to get seasick after the boat turned while she was in the restroom. |

| The captain was very informative in pointing out all of the sites and landmarks during the tour. The brunch was great; food was plentiful and awesome. It rained the day of our tour but we still found this to be a relaxing and enjoying way to view the city. |

| We really enjoyed this trip. The one problem was that we went on one of the coldest days of the year and the heat was not working very well.. I would highly recommend this trip in the spring, summer or fall. Try to find a warmer day if you go in the winter. The food was plentiful and kept being replenished with new things throughout the trip. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The tour pointed out highlights but was not intrusive. We also thought it was a great value. Take it and enjoy!! |

| The cruise takes about 3 hours, which at first seems like it will be kind of long, but there is plenty of stuff to see the whole time. The captain is very knowledgeable about the route and provides interesting info the whole trip. The food is delicious and is adequately spaced out through out the trip. The drinks are good and cheap (compared to Manhattan bars). The staff was perfect for the atmosphere, very relaxed and helpful, polite and friendly when you went to the bar, and routinely collected your empty plates and glasses from your table. The cabin of the boat was very comfortable considering how cold it was outside, some patrons even took a nap. This is a perfect activity for a couple that likes to booze it up a little while doing some site seeing. Very comfortable, relaxing, informative and great food.
We would DEFINITELY do this same cruise again! |

| Not too much to say. It's good when not too crowded, you sail around Manhattan (almost nothing to see above 90th St both sides); the information given without enthusiasm, the food provided just OK, nothing extraordinary. All in all, maybe too expensive, you could just take a normal circle line tour for a third of the price, and then go and have a nice lunch in chelsea market with all the money you saved. |

| We were very happy that the weather was sunny and comfortable. We found the crew helpful, friendly and courteous. We also thought the food was very good and ate until we couldn't eat anymore. Personally, I was disappointed that the Falls were not on, but you didn't have anything to do with that. :-) Anyway, I would have been happy with a few more words about the things we were able to see while in the Northern section of Manhattan. However, overall we all liked the trip and would not only recommend it to others, we'd go again. Thanks for a great afternoon!

| The food was too much, but very tasty. The Captain gave us details about major land marks along the river and we were able to take awsome pictures. The staff was looking out for everyone, making sure we all had enough to eat, drink, and were comfortable. They also prevented some from falling when the yacht crossed a rough wake.
I enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it to my friends. |
