Daughter’s 18 birthday weekend

I really enjoyed it, definitely worth ur money. We did the 5:30pm one and seeing the lights at light was tea. My favorite part was definitely the viewing of the Statue of Liberty.

Statue of Liberty boat tour Sunset Cruise

Very lovely and helpful people they guide you in all the right directions we had a little bit of rain. Which made everything even more beautiful. Smooth Sailing Boat we've been on in a long time. The views are absolutely stunning and amazing they did not miss a Beat!

Family Fun <3

This was an amazing experience I had so much fun taking in the beautiful view we went on the sunset cruise and we got to see them turn on lady liberty’s lights it was very beautiful!!! … Also it’s kids friendly and you can take your stroller 1000/10 would recommend !!! (p.s if you are going in a cooler day bring a jacket if you want to ride on the outside deck)

Overall poor experience.

Disappointing Experience with Circle Line ⭐☆☆☆☆ (1/5)Cruise Line: Circle Line Sightseeing CruisesTour: Best of NYC / Landmarks / Liberty CruiseI would not book a cruise with Circle Line again. We took the cruise to see the landmarks and the Best of NYC, but the entire experience was frustrating and poorly managed from start to finish.The deck was so packed with lounge chairs that it was nearly impossible to find a clear spot to take good photos of the Statue of Liberty or the city skyline. To make matters worse, there was no guide or narration describing the places we were passing, leaving everyone in the dark about the history of the sights we were seeing.The service onboard was incredibly slow. The lines to order food and drinks were way too long because they only had two cashiers working for the massive crowd. On top of that, the music selection was poor and did not fit the vibe of a New York City sightseeing cruise at all.Overall, it felt understaffed, overcrowded, and disorganized. If you want to see the city landmarks and get good photos, look for a different tour. I cannot recommend this cruise and will definitely not be returning.
