Took my sister for this exceptional dinner cruise. If your in New York this is one you have to go on. The dinner was fantastic, fresh, open bar was worth the money, the view was breathtaking. Our server was mike and he tops the cake of delight. All the crew catered to the guests on board. Even the captain came down and did some magic tricks and sang happy birthday to one of the guests sitting next to us.

I would absolutely go again without a doubt! It was the best experience from our nyc trip. Thank you skyline dinner cruise for showing us an amazing time! 12 stars and 6 thumbs up.

Just wanted to thank all of the Skyline boat crew for making our family celebration truly memorable. All the staff were helpful, friendly and courteous. A real pleasure. I hope we have occasion to celebrate with them again in future. We wouldn't hesitate!

We booked this for 8 adults and 2 children for my mother-in-law's birthday. It was a surprise for her and she absolutely loved it! The food was really good and the dancing was a lot of fun - it was like being at a wedding but without having to buy a gift! I would definitely recommend this tour to NYC tourists (we are not), because you get to see a lot of cool sights along the rivers (Statue of Liberty view was fantastic) in a much shorter time than if you tried to take the subway to see all of them.

The service was amazing, I was really surprised how good the food was. I read reviews that said the food was bland but it had great quality, even the desserts had amazing flavor. The views are out of this world. Great trip if you're a tourist or a local that wants to live the experience. I recommend paying for open bar if you want to get multiple drinks. Definitely worth the price.

Loved this trip and was also really great price. The trip was really made when Captain Arnold came around the deck floor to greet everyone, he made his way around the floor and when he got to us he took the time to sit down and talk to us for a while and reallt have a great time! Also his magic tricks were hilarious and amazing at the same time! the food was also great. Would 10/10 recommend and do again! Thank you captain Arnold! :

New York Skyline Lights Sail on the sloop "Adirondack". Great way to sail the Hudson at night all the way down to Liberty Island and back to Pier 62. Captain "Cat" and her crew were efficient fun and professional. The boat built in 1992 was immaculate and perfectly maintained. Very enjoyable cruise.

I was at the Skylike Princess with my friends two Sundays ago. The customer service is excellent. The sight view is beautiful so you can take a lot of nice pictures. The pasta and the short ribs were delicious. If you want to have a family moment, I highly recommend this place.

The manager was great at accommodating our arrival. The crew waited for all of our party to arrive before leaving port. Food served buffet style was delicious. The bartender did a great job mixing drinks. They DJ had a great play list.

We had a wonderful time of this cruise! The staff were all nothing short of wonderful. The boat was very pleasant. From the time we set off from Flushing Marina the good vibes were flowing. We opted for the dinner cruise and the food was fresh and tasty- I especially enjoyed the Sole and the Caesar Salad. The journey down the East River was fantastic. As the sun set we rounded into spectacular views of lower Manhattan and Lady Liberty herself. A great deal!

Great Half-Cruise. We went on the lunch cruise yesterday. The trip to Manhattan was a pleasure- good music, good food, great views, pleasant crew, good seating. After leaving the Statue of Liberty area, we turned around to return to port. The music got bad, the announcements basically stopped, and the sights were a repeat. The trip home was tedious, no fault of the tour.

What a wonderful dinner cruise! I have had a few dinner cruises but none as nice as this. You have a table and can reserve your own private table if necessary. We were celebrating my friends engagement and it was the perfect atmosphere. The food was great, I especially enjoyed the eggplant rolatini and the short ribs! Your mouth waters as they bring the trays of food in.

Our server Marta was so nice and accommodating! She even brought us drinks upstairs! What a wonderful personality! She is adorable. Her backup Corey is also a wonderful gentleman and checked in on us when Marta was attending other customers. So nice and comfortable! Unfortunately I would have given a 5 star except for the bartender. Now I have bartended in my day and NEVER have I tapped my tip jar before pouring a drink!

How rude! He even lied to us and told us there was no more tequila until I saw him poor tequila for someone else. At the end of the night he even said "you should bring money, you know, in case you get robbed, they'll KILL you if you dont have money" ".this is verbatim. LUDICROUS! We paid for open bar which stated "all inclusive"! On top of the fact he stated "if we go anywhere else they will spit in our drinks".again verbatim.

His name is Marty. He may not be avoidable as he is the only bartender on ship. Other than this everything was wonderful and I would recommend this dinner cruise to anyone! The sites are out of this world! Deft a great pic opportunity for your insta users! The food is amazing in itself!

My party and I had a great time celebrating. My daughter and I had the opportunity to meet the captain and we capture some great pics with the captain as well. The lunch was yummy and I love the fact thato the staff on skyline was kid friendly.

A truly great experience - for kids and adults alike! Food was good (enough), staff very friendly (even though not all of them very experienced), the dancefloor lively, and the views spectacular. Will definitely recommend this cruise to friends visiting New York City, and locals looking for a fun harbour cruise.

My boyfriend and I decided to do something a little different for the 4th of July this year and booked a dinner cruise through here mainly to get front row views of the Macy's fireworks. Our tickets for $240 included general seating (at a table with 8 other strangers), unlimited drinks, a DJ with a dance floor on the third floor and buffet dinner. Let's start with the positive things about this cruise. -Beautiful, breath taking views -Viewing the Macy's fireworks from the water -Unlimited drinks -Clean boat -Friendly staff -AC on blast on the dining floors I've always watched the Macy's fireworks from home but after viewing them from the boat, I have an entirely new appreciation for them.

They were absolutely stunning and pretty romantic if you're watching them with your partner. The expensive price of that ticket was well worth it after seeing those fireworks.however when it came to the food, I was not impressed by all means. Cons of this dinner cruise. -Extremely cramped viewing area -Food.yuck -Dance floor with no AC The food was served buffet style and it was fish, chicken and prime rib for meats while the sides were pasta, potatoes and string beans.

The only thing that I really took a liking to out of the food was the pasta and that wasn't even anything to brag home about. Can we please discuss the uncooked string beans and bland potatoes? The chicken was okay.and the prime rib was bland as well. For the amount of money that we paid and the food that we were served it is safe to say that we pretty much paid for the spectacular view of the Macys fireworks.

The boat was parked with the back facing the fireworks which everyone was cramped because the bigger side is the front. Not only was the viewing of the fireworks cramped but it was so hot back there so just imagine how it felt with a bunch of people crammed in one small area. I doubt I will ever do one of these dinner cruises again because the price is outrageous for really crappy food but I am happy that I did it because I saw the fireworks in a whole new light. I am only giving this review 4 stars because of the views that can be seen from this boat ride.

I went for a birthday party here and it was a pretty good time. We paid 170 dollars for the four hour cruise which includes food and unlimited drinks. The Good: The boat was clean, the service was great (our waitress was so sweet and attentive), and the dance floor/DJ set up was nice. Enjoyed the views too The Bad: that's a lot of money for four hours on a boat. It's such a rip off because you could have a good time with less money per person for a bday party somewhere else.

It also pains me to say that the food was not great. It was buffet style but the pasta was on the hard side, and the other dishes were very bland. For me it's all about the drinks, service, and food - and this one just made me take down a star.

Valentine's day Decore, place settings, and vibe was great. Red linen, nice lighting and fully heated. Service was top notch. Bathrooms could have been cleaner. Food was buffet style. Fish, steak, chicken, vegggies, potatoes. I was definitely full. The windows needed to be cleaned so you could actually enjoy the view. Will return.

HAD A GREAT Experince on the skyline cruise. I did the open bar option and it was great. All top shelf. The staff was very polite and accommodating. The views were amazing on and the DJ will take request. Also one of the best parts of the cruise was Captain Arnold; he was a real Gem of a guy.he even did magic for us. What a good spirited man.

My school used the Skyline Princess for our end of the year party! What a party it was! When you arrive at the Marina, there is a walk up to the boat that takes about 7 minutes. For me 10 minutes because I was wearing heels that weren't chunky. I spent a lot of time dodging the opening that were in the boards. (I removed my shoes for the walk back after the boat ride.

Next time I will wear wedges). It was chilly for a June evening, so we waited in a little bar that is near the boat. We got off to a slightly rough start because a few of my coworkers were stuck in traffic. They were nice enough to wait for the latecomers and then the fun began. For $100 we had unlimited cocktails, dinner, and dessert. Well bring on the amaretto sours!

The bartender was friendly and asked if he was making the drinks to our liking. Very, very good! For our appetizer we had a tossed caesar salad. Perfectly dressed and it had a spicy bite to it! For the entree it was buffet style. There was an assortment of mixed vegetables, potatoes, baked fish, and prime rib. There was a pasta dish as well. There was lots to choose from! Dessert was a choice of cheesecake, chocolate cake or carrot cake.

Everyone was pleased with the selection. The coffee was wonderful too! Upstairs there was an open dancing area. It had begun to rain and the boat was a little rocky. Let's just say the Electric Slide was a bit more electrified with us sliding all over the place. I eventually took off my shoes and got in the groove! The music was good and the dj played a mix of different genres to keep the crowd moving.

It was a bit humid and my hair went a little crazy but we all had a wonderful time! We can't wait for our next party on the Skyline Princess! We will definitely be back!
