Please don't buy from them. They scammed us we still have tickets for the liberty cruise. We went yesterday around 3 45 for the 5 I clock cruise as they advertised on their page. As we went they refuse to board us and said there is no 5 o'clock .. We said What that's what you advertise they said oh we are not talking it today at 5 come tomorrow or some other day... we were like we are tourists we cannot... The guy just laugh and said "nothing can be done" and send us to dock 3. Where there were guy who is boarding everyone for cash.. After a while I saw same guy high five him and went away... So this is the scam they are Rude.. and cheater company. I habe asked them for refund but they haven't replied yet.. Please save your money and never ever book from them.

We got a good view of the Statue of Liberty however when arriving at the meeting location nobody could tell us which boat we were to get on, we were sent back and forth multiple times, we also paid a higher price in order to choose to sit on level 2, 3 or on top and there was not even a option to sit on top.

The ferry itself was fine; unfortunately the way us passengers were treated beforehand was unacceptable. We were instructed to arrive 30mins prior and were forced to wait in 97 degree heat without shade although three gazebos were standing unused next to our queue. The queue consisted of children and elderly people who were suffering badly with the heat - we asked Phillip T to assist with a plan to use the shelter and were responded to with rudeness and absolutely no concern or respect. I recommend using another company to visit the statue.
