This cruise was perfect- the boat was large and spacious, there was an air conditioned section (which honestly- why sit outside in the sun and heat if you can sit inside in front of a giant set of windows?), the tour guide was funny and informative (hi David!) and it was 1 hour. Which is really all you need. Now No, we did not go under the BMW bridges (Brooklyn, and the other two ;)) but we went around the Statue of Liberty, we saw the skyline, and honestly it was phenomenal. I’ve been on much longer cruises in the harbour, but this is really all you need.
Tickets were super affordable (under $20 per person through Trip Advisor), boarding was simple and the whole thing was a fabulous experience. Recommended!
