We did this tour as the one we were going to do (summer nights) was cancelled last week so we had the option to have a refund or do this tour. As it was our last night of the holiday i opted to go premium as a treat. Now unless i have misread the way its written or it's just the way its done i did find the upgrade to premium all a complete waste of money, The exclusive seating area was inside on this boat and at 88 degrees we wanted outside seating but this was all just the general price seating which was stated on the website as a possibility with the different boat layouts but with the "advanced boarding" you pay extra for you think no problem you have the opportunity to get a good choice of seat. The only advanced boarding perk is in fact not queuing to get your photo taken prior to boarding, after this point you join the general queue line so if you are a bit later arriving you are going to be way back down the line actually boarding the boat so the "advanced boarding" option is not that at all you get on the boat where you join the queue line after the photo section. so just be aware before selecting this option or ask the question beforehand. The wifi was broken and so although not a problem for us it wasn't a great start to the experience. The tour itself was good and Andy was very knowledgeable and made it funny as well as quite sad with the information around the role played on 9/11. Overall the actual tour is good, just don't be fooled by the Premium option as its as bad as the actors getting money off you in times square. Money for little if no extra than standard.
