| my friends and I (two adults from LA, 2 adults from DC and 2 NYC locals) took the motor yacht on a Sunday afternoon. We completely lucked out with a dry sky after a weekend of rain, rain, rain. The boat was new and quite spiffy - really attractive vessel. The crew was super positive and laid back. We enjoyed the champagne and some great city scenery. |

| Took the tour to see the WATERFALLS and was very pleased. Would have appreciated more identification of buildings and areas we were passing either by the crew ---- or better still a map or chart with specific names of buildings, etc. (The book Manhattan is much too general). |

| This champagne cruise was a ton of fun! While the waterfalls are completely overrated (with the exception of the one under the Brooklyn Bridge), the actual 1.5 hour cruise around the south end of Manhattan Island was a blast. Lots of great photo opportunities of the million dollar view of downtown Manhattan, Liberty Island, Governor's island, and all the major downtown bridges. While this cruise isn't the cheapest out there, it is definitely worth the money not to be crammed in like cattle like on other similar cruise offerings. The yacht holds a maximum of 60 people so there is plenty of personal space. You also get to choose between sitting in the air conditioned cabin with large windows for picture taking or going out on the deck. The boat is extremely stable and isn't prone to to much bouncing around for those who get queasy stomachs. Throw in the free drinks and champagne, excellent and friendly staff, and a knowledgeable captain and you have an excellent and fun experience. I would do it again! |

| We arrived early and waited in line, then were told as we boarded that we must sit in the cabin for safety information. We did, and then the crew allowed latecomers to sit outside - in the good seats - and miss the safety talk. The cruise served alcohol, yet allowed small children to attend, and the crew allowed the children to run wild and unsupervised in an unsafe manner. And to top it all off, we couldn't hear the narration about the Waterfalls exhibit. It should have been a lovely event, but wasn't as good as it could have been. |

| On a hot summer afternoon in NYC a delightful way to see the city from the water. Nice too to be on a boat with a limited capacity. |

| Nice ride with complimentary champagne... but WET, we got totally drenched two times! And the waves where HUGE, so be prepared if you know that you might get sea sick... |

| The boat left right on time, and the champagne was immediately available. The trip to the waterfalls was bracing -- we stood at the rail at the front and enjoyed bouncing the waves. When the trip was nearly over, we went inside because of rain and found the interior very pleasant and inviting -- lower to the water than the bow. All in all an exhilarating experience. |

| The boat -- service, comfort, cleanliness, promptness -- all top-notch. Didn't think the waterfalls were of great interest: liked the idea of them more than the actual installation. Still, would do it again as it was something different. |

| The weather was great, providing a pleasurable experience. Ship was better than expected and crew was very good. We had a great time and there was nothing to complain about. We will be going on more of these cruises in the future. Good value. |
