I have taken this cruise 4 times. When I first moved to the Hudson Valley I took it three times in 3 years and each time I enjoyed the cruise. This was 20+ years ago. I took the cruise again this past week and was very disappointed. I think the difference was that in the past there was an actual person telling you about the the river and people living on the river. With each tour there was something new to learn as the guides were different each time and they all had their own stories. Presently there is a bland and boring recording. Also the crew asks for tips at the end of the ride. They actually don't do anything but let us on and off the boat. I think $27.00 per person should cover that part of the ride.
