We won tickets from a radio station to go on this cruise. Overall it was a good time. There was a lot of people attending this event but being that the boat is so large you never even noticed. While out on the Hudson the boat was really stable. Staff was always visible and able to answer any questions you have.

We thought the views were spectacular, but expected more of a tour. The tour person did give some information, but I would say in 2 hours, maybe 10 min. total was an explanation of the area. The boat moved at a very slow rate...a few people actually fell asleep. We might have but a group of women sitting on the upper deck were talking and laughing and having a wonderful time...glad for them, but a few of them were obnoxiously loud and you couldn't even here the few words that were spoken on the speakers. I heard other people complaining, but nothing was said to them. It is okay to have fun, but how rude to talk when someone is speaking. Anyway, when they were explaining the buildings, we were riding in the middle of the Hudson and couldn't even see much. Thought we might go up one side and down the other side, a little closer to the shoreline so you could see better, but then don't know what all the depths were. I should be titled...boat ride, not tour. We were in that area just a couple of days and I felt like if they were a little faster, you could have enjoyed the ride and still leave time to see something else. They said there is so much history in the area, but didn't tell us much of what kind.

The two of us decided on Saturday morning to take the cruise in the afternoon. We arrived shortly before a tour bus filled with seniors. But the boat always felt spacious. The narration was informative and audible (maybe a bit loud). The day was spectacular. We had one of our best times in Kingston.
