Wrong cruise or music band

Please be aware. I have booked a live jazz sunset cruise for my family including a senior. However, the music band was absolutely different and very loud and disturbing. The weather was not great, and I texted earlier to Viator to check about the possible cancellation. Never heard from them. The trip took place and due to rain we neither were able to watch the sunset and we had to sit inside the boat and listened to very loud “sailor songs” which made the whole experience overwhelming and specifically challenging for my older father. I requested a partial refund - will update my review.

Wowza what a trip

Take a sunset cruise they said it’ll be awesome they said well let me tell you…. Mom and I booked a July 3rd sunset cruise to see the ships in the harbor in celebration of the country’s 250th birthday. After passing the world financial center we headed straight for the Statue of Liberty- not a long trip. There was a small threat of a storm, but in mere minutes this massive tornado like thunderstorm overtook the harbor. No one could have predicted this massive monster. Clouds circled above and the waves were instantly tossing ships around us. An out of control sailboat nearly hit us. The crew struggled to get us in a different direction so we weren’t pounded by the massive winds- all the while assuring us we were safe. We ended up side by side with the Queen Mary 2 in red hook in calmer waters then spotted our sister ship rescuing a person from the water!!! It was like a scene in a movie.m.If not for the fast thinking and calm crew.. it could have been so much worse. Captain Juana. You are amazing and everyone felt totally safe with you at the helm. Once the storm passed 10-15 min later the most spectacular rainbow and orange sunset appeared. The crew even sat with each table to reassure them all was well. They went above and beyond. The true strength of the crew is when all goes south. Do not hesitate going out with this company. They are seasoned sailors. If I’m being blunt. This was by far the best cruise I’ve ever taken. A little bit of mystery, a little bit of chaos, a wondrous back drop and fast thinking fast acting crew. Don’t be scared by this review. This is a testament to how skilled and professional they are. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

beautiful boat!!

very great experience not too crowded at all and the boat was beautiful. It’s hard to decide whether a later time would’ve sufficed, but the sunset was so nice and we didn’t get to catch too much of the night, but it was still so worth it also a tip pay upfront to secure your seat.
