The ferry ride and self guided tours of the SOL and Ellis Island were fun. Disappointed that the ticket did not include the pedestal. I thought when I read before booking included the pedestal. The Edge was great yet windy and cold.

It was wonderful from the moment I walked in, the logistics were fantastic. Everything was very well organized; you get on the elevator and it has sounds that make you feel like you're floating up to the 92nd floor in an instant. The view of NYC is spectacular! And playing with the balloons is simply amazing. I would definitely do it a thousand times over! Guaranteed fun!

Weekday vs weekend

For a more relaxed experience, weekdays are the best choice for a sunset cruise, with smaller crowds. If you’re looking for something more fun and lively with more people around, weekends are best.

Semi-formal attire: Since these cruises provide an elegant dining experience, opt for semi-formal clothing. Cocktail dresses, dress pants, and collared shirts are recommended to match the ambiance.
Layer up: New York's temperatures can drop at night, especially near the waters. Bring a light jacket or shawl to stay warm in case of a cool breeze.
