★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,073 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $34

Review of Starship NYC’s 90-minute cruise, with Statue of Liberty views, live commentary, seating tips, pricing, and practical advice.

“You need a VIP pass , extra charge to sit on main deck where there are tables and windows are clean. This was not mentioned when bought tickets. All passengers sat downstairs where only a few tables were set up and windows were so dirty you could barely see thought them. I have taken Statue of Liberty cruises before when I lived in NY. This was very disappointing. Would not recommend. Molly the tour guide was fantastic and the highlight of the cruise.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,362 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $119

Review of City Cruises New York Signature Dinner Cruise, covering food, views, music, price, seating, timing, and practical tips.

“Great time, Plenty Food, Drink were pricy $20 each. Had two drinks $40.00 + $11.57 added with no receipt. Tax in NYC is not 25%. I think they tack on 20% gratuity and tax. Then the credit card machines ask you for gratuity. So she must be making $16.00 tip on a $40.00 drink bill.”
