Meh

Guide sped through their list of landmarks and then stopped talking. Seemed as though the crew didn’t know or wasn’t confident in docking the boat.

Nice way to see the NYC skyline

Cruise was nice. Narration about the buildings and bridges was helpful as you passed each landmark. We enjoyed the cruise.
