Answering Top-asked Questions

Who should consider joining these cruises?

Whether you are looking for a new way to enjoy happy hour in the city, or are celebrating a special occasion, these cruises are ideal because they combine - views, live entertainment, and food. These cruises are popular with both locals and visitors.

Why are the cruises not available every day?

Although the cruise operator has an operating schedule that shows available cruises daily, due to weather, number of participants, or force Majeure, they might decide to cancel certain dates.

What happens if the day I picked is no longer available?

In the event that the operator decides to cancel or combine your original cruise with another, you will have the possibility to either move your reservation to another date or have a full refund.

How can I reserve my table?

Whenever you are ready to reserve your cruise, you can select one of the options here below. The calendar will show available cruises on days highlighted in green, just pick your preferred date and fill out the short form. One of our staff will make sure the date you selected is sailing (as sometimes there is a delay in closure updates) and arrange for your table reservation. Although we are offering to book now and pay later on all experiences, in order to finalize your reservation and guarantee your table, full payment must be made. We suggest paying at least 3 weeks in advance especially during holidays and summertime. We will only authorize payment, we won't actually charge the credit card until the table has been manually confirmed by our staff and an E-Ticket has been issued.

Can I cancel or change the date?

Unfortunately no. Once the table is confirmed and paid for, all sales are final unless the cruise is canceled by the operator. If you haven't yet paid for your table, then your table is technically not yet confirmed and thus doesn't need to be canceled.

Do you offer special Holiday cruises?

Great question - yes! Whether you want to celebrate Mother's or Father's Day or New Year's Eve, these cruises offer several Holiday specials throughout the year. Some of the top-seller holiday cruises include Christmas Day Brunch, Thanksgiving Dinner, New Year's Eve Gala Dinner, Independence Day Spectacular, Mother's & Father's Day Brunch, Easter Sunder Brunch, and many others. Please note that Holiday Cruises have limited availability and prices are higher.

I’m the biggest fan of Fall activities, but haven’t had a chance to do anything beyond Apple Picking in NJ. I decided to take a last minute 2 day trip with a friend in Hudson Valley, but didn’t know where to start [...] Thankfully I was able to use New York Welcome to do the hard work for us [...]

Irene was a FANTASTIC tour guide! She was so knowledgeable about the area and was so patient with all our questions. We stopped to use the bathroom and we got coffee halfway through, she was so kind! It was a pleasure learning about Brooklyn from you!
