We had a great time. Buffet good with enough variety. We were initially seated next to dance floor and speakers and were given other seats when we asked to move. Servers excellent and their singing was fun. Two suggestions: 1. would have liked a quick comment on intercom to describe the landmarks as we passed them. As in "on our left is ...." Just quick overview and not to disturb the music and shows too much. 2. Online and confirmation call never said had to pick up tickets at booth. Walked dock to ship with confirmation in hand, had to walk back and get tickets. Small matter but irritating. All in all a great tour.
It was a nice evening and the food was ok,, but we had a long wait once on board to get drinks and the costs are an absolute rip off, $60 for a very average bottle of wine.
Great experience. Seeing the Manhatten skyline and the Statue of Liberty up close for the first time in the dark was a very atmospheric experience. I will never forget it. Weather was kind so being outside on deck was not uncomfortable, however most on our trip seemed intent on partying below deck with the resident DJ and multi skilled service staff who doubled up as entertainers. The whole night is very relaxed and informal, allbeit most peole dressed as if going out for the night to a party. The boat is really nice andthe buffet food of a OK quality. Parties ranged from 2 to 20 but everyome seemed to enjoy themselves. A very friendly trip. If you dont mind a steamy drinks bill and a bit of cheesy party music I would reccomened this to everyone. Be very careful to ensure that you confirm your attendance before you leave the UK and to check for any time changes. Once in the USA I found the company that runs the trip very helpful.
