Loved the experience. My suggestion would be to grab a seat on outside perimeter of the cruise boat preferably a bit away from the speakers overhead. Excellent cruise, views and narration just a little loud if you're seated close to a speaker. Arrive 25 minutes before boarding. Though I was told to arrive 15 minutes before, I noticed the lines were pretty long already so arriving a tad earlier will lessen the wait time.
Very enjoyable and informative. The young lady commentator was excellent and she can sing. Happy to recommend this, particularly if you are rushed for time in NY.
Huge boat so plenty or room. Lots of school kids when we went on which wasn't so good. Good view of the Statue of Liberty and the New York View. Basically up to Statue of Liberty and back that was it.
