2-hour New York City Lunch Cruise

Very disappointed with this buffet lunch cruise. Took the cruise on 7/6/25. We arrived early with other passengers. There was no place to sit and wait for the cruise boat to arrive, except stand in the hot July sun. The "buffet" was to say the least, inadequate. I paid $250 for 2 people for this lunch cruise. The selection was limited to chicken, pork and small pieces of salmon, tiny mixed potatoes which were cold and dry. There was pasta and yellow corn which were cold and sticky. Overall, the "hot" buffet was cold, the salad limited to mixed greens and desert was tiny square pieces of cheese cake and pound cake. No mixed fruit as advised in the menu. The servers were friendly and attentive and the views of nyc and statute of liberty never fail to awe. The cruise did not hit all the sites as advertised - did not make it to the Brooklyn Bridge. The music could have been turned down for the lunch and a few umbrellas on the top viewing deck would have made sight seeing a more comfortable and enjoyable experience.

I would rate the experience a 4 out 5. Good food and service. We experience overcast and slightly high winds for the cruise. The ship was still stable enough to move around and also experience deck view. The crew hostess is well informed about different land marks along the waterline.

The staff was super friendly and the lunch was delicious! The sights are spectacular, especially the view of the Statue of Liberty. My husband and I were treated to a special shout-out from the DJ on the ship, who played awesome tunes the whole time while giving pauses for some sightseeing info. We were also treated to an amazing desert and champagne in honor of our anniversary. The ship wasn’t crowded at all, so it was easy to get great spots for pictures and privacy to chat. We decided that if we return to NY in the future, we’d definitely book this cruise again, as we liked it so much.
