Excellent! The food was good and the staff was very friendly. Great place to dance with kids during the daytime. Nice views of Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty.

Published on Sep, 2024

Really enjoyed the experience with my two daughters apart from the lousy weather but it didn’t stop us braving the rain to go up deck and take photos Abbi who served us was really pleasant and the food was really good Would recommend this to others definitely

Very enjoyable although kind of pricey when I made reservation for 5 people

Published on Sep, 2024

We enjoyed very much the delicious and healthy foods, the staff, entertainment and timeliness and safety.

We celebrated my daughter’s mother-in-law returning to Honduras. She was here for 6 weeks. A few years back we did a cruise with her, nothing compared to this cruise. The staff, food, music was over the top. The price was favorable as well. Thank you for making her day and a forever memory.
