I was not able to go on the cruise because my husband was sick. TripAdvisor took care of everything in a timely manner. I was able to get a refund! Very trustworthy company!

Our family loved the cruise! The jazz band was great. The cruise staff members were excellent. We very much enjoyed the nighttime views of New York (it also helped that we had a clear night with no rain or snow). The boat was decorated nicely for the holidays, which added to the atmosphere. What a fun time! Overall, we highly recommend this activity.
