I was not impressed with the Statue of Liberty cruise. Our boat was supposed to leave at 3:30pm, and we were supposed to arrive at the dock 30 minutes prior to sailing. Our boat was late coming to the port, so we didn't begin our cruise until 3:50pm. Our boat ended up being a NYC water taxi boat, it was not very big and if you sat downstairs, you couldn't see clearly out the windows. They were very dirty. The speakers didn't work well at all downstairs, so you couldn't hear the guide so you didn't know what you were passing. Upstairs, you could hear the guide very well, but it was so crowded that things that were close to the ground couldn't be seen if you were sitting. Water seemed calm, but the boat had lots of movement from side to side, so it was difficult to stand and walk. When I visit NYC in the future, I won't book through Circle Line again.
