PRO: Very entertaining Salsa Cruise. Staff very accomodating/Friendly. Buffet/ VIP option was worth the extra price, food was very good and VIP seating was nice. The cruise trip/views of city & land marks at nite was beautiful (Clear Full Moon nite, Cool temperature).
CONS: Music drifted off from SALSA theme a bit much..., Dance Floor is too small area to accomodate all people who were dancing.
Drinks purchases on board were very PRICEY....Recommend buying a few drink tickets ahead on line to use on cruise > less expensive.

Great cruise. Staff was knowledgeable of the building but I'm sure that the gentleman I was speaking with could use more knowledge of the buildings. In due time. He did however advise on where we should visit for better deals on meals. NOT TIME SQUARE.
Could have cleaner windows. Other than this the meal was awesome.
Definitely could do it again with the family

This was a really entertaining cruise. We were confused why we weren't seated at a window when the cruise was barely half full. Then when we and several other guests reseated ourselves, the wait staff was very rude and informed us that we should have "asked" to move our seats. No we didn't pay for a guaranteed window seat, but I assumed that if window seats were available after all the guaranteed people were seated, we would have that option.
The food was marginally good, so don't go hoping for a 5 star cuisine. The best part of the cruise were the guests and the lovely views around the Hudson. I would recommend this cruise for anyone who wants to get water views of NYC, NJ, and the Statue of Liberty.

The company offers a three-hour dinner cruise on the Hudson, Upper New York Bay, and East River. The two rooms, separated by the dance floor and a small orchestra stand, comfortably sit 300 guests. There are four rows of tables; some guests (about a quarter) have to sit with their backs to the windows, so reserving a window table is a must.
The tables are arranged comfortably with plenty of space between them; large windows and spacious deck (accessible at any time) offer gorgeous views. The crew is there when you need them.
A competent band (already playing when one boards the ship) starts with instrumental standards, gradually moving on to vocal numbers. The program is well balanced, inoffensive, and aims to please anyone aged 60 and over. Disco dominates, but there are some contemporary numbers as well. Sound levels are reasonable - earplugs not needed; one can even have a conversation.
The weakest part of the cruise is, unfortunately, the dinner. The food - as far as I can tell, it is not being prepared on premises; hot dishes are reheated. Though food looks nice on the plate, it is vastly overdone, and lacks any texture or taste. Booze might help - there is a full (cash) bar on the ship. Servers are cheery, courteous, and speak passable English.
There is a dress code, but I’ve yet to see anyone wearing a formal evening dress (I’ve been on a cruise a few times entertaining out of town guests); one would blend in wearing collared shirt (with or without a tie), trousers, and dress shoes. Jacket is not required, but strongly recommended for a different reason – A/C is set to Arctic temperatures and is blowing at a gale force.
The ship departs on the dot, one must be prompt! If you booked your cruise online (and who didn’t?), please allow extra time (2 to 20 minutes) to exchange reservations for the actual paper tickets at the ticket booth at Pier 61 parking garage. Proper ID required.
The cruise is not a sightseeing tour – the landmarks are not announced (except for the Statue of Liberty), so take a guidebook or a knowledgeable native along with you!

The food was good and so was the ambiance. I took one star because the utensils were not clean. They still had food on them from prior trips. My advise is to use disposable utensils if you are not going to ensure the proper cleaning of the silver ware.

I had an enjoyable time. Food and drinks were okay. Entertainment was pretty good. It was a fun cruise, enjoyed by all.
