This was a last minute addition to our Christmas trip in December, and boy, am I glad we booked it! It was freezing outside, but the boat is nice and warm. I was worried about it being enclosed, with rough water and heat blasting, however you could barely feel the boat move. This cruise took you all up and down the NY skyline, to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty (breathtaking up close at night) and even over into the East River a little to see the Brooklyn Bridge. We had an absolute blast. The wine and beer choices were great, and very inexpensive after the first complimentary glass. The jazz band was awesome, and the views were simply breathtaking. I've been to NY several times, and this was truly the highlight of all of my trips!
The only CON in my book was that you're assigned tables and you're sitting with folks you don't know. We weren't interested in meeting new people, so this proves to be a little awkward. Try to get on the boat first so that you can get the good window seats.
Definitely recommend booking this trip! A+ from start to finish!

Hello,
Thank you for joining us and sharing your experience. We are happy to hear that you had an overall wonderful experience on the Cocoa and Carols Cruise this Holiday Season.
We do have family style seating on the boat and on our sold out trips, due to the layout, we will create a seating chart for our customers and assign seating. However on other cruises that do not hit a specific guest count we will not do assigned seating.
We look forward to hosting you in the future and want to thank you again for sharing your experience and recommending us.
Warmly,
Classic Harbor Line
