What an amazing experience, probably never to be repeated again. My husband and I and daughter and new partner from Australia absolutely adored the night and the atmosphere and new friends we made. Thank-you New York for turning on the good weather.

I'll be honest, when we arrived for the cruise I wasn't too sure about it as there was a massive queue waiting to get on what looked like a large tug ! However my concerns were unfounded - there were several boats laid on and actually they were all decorated nicely. Once we got away, there was a bit of a queue for drinks earlier on in the evening, but they certainly weren't tight with the alcohol ! We could have drunk a whole lot more but to be honest I didn't want to ruin the experience - and what an experience. We were lucky to have a clear and not too cold evening and the Manhattan skyline looked amazing. Even better was mooring up right next to the Statue of Liberty at midnight and watching the Ellis Island fireworks. Something I will never forget I can tell you. Regarding the cruise itself, the boat was fine and not too crowded and the staff were great. As I said, you could probably have had as any drinks as you wanted as there were plenty left at the end, although I should also mention that it never got too rowdy and it was a nice mix of ages and nationalities on there. God know what a three hour NYE cruise with an open bar in the UK would be like - carnage I expect ! Just one other thing to mention, you'd be VERY lucky to get a taxi anywhere after midnight on New Year's eve - we saw loads of people unsuccessfully trying to get them and we ended up walking back from the pier to East Village. All in all a great night and a great experience ! Would recommend it to anyone going to NYC for NYE.

What a superb way to spend new years eve..id do it again tomorrow!! It was well organised, plenty of drink and food, staff very friendly and mix of music. Make sure you leave early to get there though due to road closures around Times Square on NYE. Its right at the end of 42nd st, easy to find and walkable, just, from 1st Avenue. Thanx for a great time on our 1st trip to New York, best new year ever!!!

What a great night, we were lucky it was a warm 8 degrees LOL.
The only problem was drinks took to long to get, and not much food circulating upstairs, but worth the money
