It was the best way to spend New Year's Eve without the crowds.

It was a really fun event. The food and alcohol were great, so was the DJ and space to dance. Only problem was not enough toilets. But I would go again!

I just wish the cruise was more my age oriented. It would have been nice to have college students only on the cruise.

Departed from the pier on time and really enjoyed the trip. Staff on the boat were friendly and helpful, plenty of drinks available. Fireworks were brilliant, a great way to bring in the New Year and make new friends.

There were several boats for the New Year's Cruise, but not all boats were the same. I think we got the best of the lot, but nevertheless, for 102, hors d'oeuvres and a full bar is quite unbeatable! The live DJ was pretty good too. All in all, good value for money!

Over all we had a most enjoyable evening. However, some improvements could have made our experience absolutely fantastic. We arrived at the quay side in plenty of time but were surprised at the number of people in a very long queue, only to find that we had to join anther queue to change our booking voucher for tickets then rejoin the main queue for the boats.
As the bar was 'open' or as we say free there was no problem with the drinks, however the barman could have done with an assistant on the bottom deck for mixing cocktails. Trays with nibbles were given out regularly but as we had enjoyed an evening meal we were not very hungry. The boat had very basic seating and the decks were open so it got very cold, other than in the disco which was very loud and overcrowded. The highlight for us was the fireworks at midnight which were spectacular from our position on the Hudson river.
It was good to be away from the masses in Times Square and see the night lights and fireworks from the boat. Cruise could have been 2 hours as the main event is the fireworks.

Excellent service, able to get food or drinks easily. Main problem, only 3 bathrooms for about 250 people. I definitely spent about an hour total in line waiting for the restroom. Other than that, amazing experience!
