Good and worth the wait Booked previous day and had the ticket. The day of the trip we could and should have gone to dockside if we had known where it was to dock but had to join cue again even though we had the ticket.Trip was a must if you have not seen it before.

Fantastic - may be shorter than other cruise tours but you do not miss out on anything! Highly recommend this express cruise - perfect length of time when travelling with teens. Commentary was lovely - informative, funny, extremely well done. Cruise takes you past and points out all major sights along the city, as well as Ellis Island of course. Plenty of time for up close photos too. The day we went it was absolutely freezing cold - inside the boat was warm and comfortable.

Great cruise for the time. We wanted to go on a shorter cruise because our time was limited on our trip. This was perfect for what we needed. The guide was great (Damian) and gave a lot of facts in that short trip. Even though sometimes his mic would cut out which is kind of a bummer. They allow you to go out of the front or rear of the boat to take pics (if your not already sitting on the open deck up top). Great pictures and great trip.

10/10 recommend! This was exactly what we were looking for! Since there is so much to do and see in NYC this 50 minute express cruise was perfect. Damian or guide was amazing, funny and knowledgeable. His voice is made for the movies, lol! They were also super generous with photo time once we were close to lady liberty!
