We had a wonderful evening. Great fun singing Christmas Carols with a great band on the beautiful Manhattan II. Everybody on board really enjoyed the evening and the views of the city and Statue of Liberty were spectacular. Highly recommend. Thanks also to all the staff.

I booked the Holiday cocoa and carols cruise for myself and my husband while we were visiting NYC. It was such an amazing experience and felt really really special. The organisation side of things was fantastic, they sent clear instructions of what to expect and what to do on arrival. We collected our tickets about 15 minutes before departure and were given a table number. My husband and I had our own table which was a nice surprise as we thought we would be sat with a group as it was just the two of us in our party so was nice to have a bit more of a romantic experience! As soon as we set foot on the boat we felt really looked after and had a lot of fun. The captain of the boat gave a bit of a speech to let us know what was in store then instead of telling us the safety information he sang it to us, it was done so well and so comedically, a great start to the trip! The band were great and the captain was also the singer. They played some songs with the captain singing then there was the singalong portion where we were given song sheets (and some people were given bells to play) which was really fun. The highlight was the twelve days of Christmas where each table was assigned a ‘day of Christmas’ to sing solo so there was some competitive singing going on. There was a big bowl of nuts on each table and one free drink each (table service) then we bought drinks at the bar after this. You can also buy food on-board (which we didn’t) or you are free to bring food on board (the table next to us came prepared with cakes and chocolates.) The boat was all decked out for the holidays and looked really beautiful. Even though it was night time (and freezing cold!) you could also go outside on the deck which was great for getting some photographs. The cruise itself was really great as we saw all of the harbour lights and the main highlights were the empire state building, and statue of liberty. Being on the water gave another perspective to the city and I would highly recommend taking a cruise with Harbor Line

This was a strong 4 rating...the hot chocolate with schnapps is yummy. The only thing I would have suggested is a bit more caroling. We did 6 songs together...I just wish that there would have been more Christmas songs (even if it was just a CD) we don't need to sing them all together - but give us the option.

Hello, We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your time out with us on the water for our Cocoa and Carols Cruise. It is true that we do not do the sing along caroling the whole time we are out there. With this particular cruise we start up with just some drinks and music to allow the guests to get comfortable. Then we move into the caroling and finish off with Holiday music with only the band. This allows those that do not want to sing to have conversation among themselves and also allows those that love singing to sing along with the band. The suggestion of a CD playing while the band takes a break is a wonderful idea and we will make sure to pass this on at the next meeting. We look forward to having you out again in the future and thank you for the feedback! Warmly, Classic Harbor Line
