Cruise left on time and as we did an early ship there was little queuing for tickets (Inc. NY Pass). Lovely cruise with guided commentary on the skyline and surroundings.
On upper deck, they try to ask everyone not to stand up to take pictures but simply you can't get a half decent picture if you don't, so that ask didn't last long. Plenty of chance for great pictures and no end of photo opportunities as you float by.
I would suggest you take your own drinks and snacks if required, as once on board they have you and are selling the most expensive crisps/drinks (probably in the world).
Lady is smaller than I thought she'd be....but she is lovely.
