ABSOLUTELY FUMING! WE WERE RIPPED OFF BY A WOMAN SELLING TICKETS SAYING IT WAS $39 EACH, I PAID ON MY CARD AND WAS CHARGED $59 EACH, I SAID I WANTED TO GO ON THE FERRY THAT TOOK US TO THE ISLAND SHE SAID ITS POINTLESS AS THERE'S A BIG WALL ON THE ISLAND SO YOU CANT SEE ANYTHING WHICH IS BS. WE WERE THEN SHOWN THE WAY TO THE BUS BY A DISRESPECTFUL MAN THAT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT MANNERS ARE. THE BUS DRIVER WAS DISRESPECTFUL GETTING FUNNY WHEN PEOPLE ASKED QUESTIONS THE BOAT HAD FOLD UP CHAIRS WHICH KEPT FALLING OVER WHICH YOU WOULDN'T EXPECT WHEN YOU PAY NEAR ENOUGH $120. THE TOUR GUIDE HIMSELF WAS A NICE GUY AND WAS ACTUALLY GOOD TO LISTEN TO. OVERALL IM ABSOLUTELY FUMING MAINLY BECAUSE WE WERE ROBBED BY THE SALES PERSON WHO TOLD US A PRICE AND THEN CHARGED US MORE AND BLATANTLY LIED! THIS WAS OUTSIDE THE SUBWAY AT BATTERY PARK

This was an absolute sham. We were looking to board the free ferry but were pounced on by guys in purple on the approach. We were told that a free ferry would take too long as long queues either end and wouldn’t give us the views. We were pressured into using Liberty Cruises, along with other unsuspecting souls. They told us the cost was $38 but we were charged $59. We then endured a hike away from the ferries and put on a bus much further up the road. We got off the bus at Port 40. There was no-one to meet us. By the time we arrived at the boat, we were told the next boat would be leaving at 5pm, nearly 1 hr 20 mins later. No-one explained that we would have a bus ride or the times of the boats. We attempted to call the company but there was no answer. I would NOT recommend using this company.

STAY AWAY. $250 for 4 of us. We were told it would be an hour long cruise. Had to transfer by bus - wait time for this alone was nearly an hour. Packed boat, more waiting, unfriendly, unhelpful staff. Terrible experience. Nothing good to say about these guys.
