The boat was over half an hour late and once on, it had loud music, lights, and a dance floor. Not always a bad thing, just not expected at all. Minor historical speaking and learning about the tour and area- the rest turned into music.

The experience was great. My daughter loved watching the statue get closer and closer. The birds flying with the wind next to the boat was awesome to see. The view you get from the water of the city was nice. Would definitely recommend this excursion for the price can't be beat.

The liberty cruise did not show up , left us out in the cold of NewYork with no sympathy. It had no plans to send a replacement cruise. We ended up working out something with the rep on ground to go on a cruise with a total different line 1hr later. This was our Valentine’s trip and it was ruined. Messed up the whole day. Treated like Leftovers waiting for hand me downs.

It seems there was a misunderstanding, as the tour did take place as scheduled. We made several attempts to reach you and tried to contact you, but unfortunately, we were unable to get through. We deeply regret that this affected your Valentine's trip, and we understand how frustrating this must have been. Your feedback is important to us, and we will work on improving our communication to ensure a better experience for future customers. We truly hope you’ll give us another chance to provide you with the experience you deserve.
