Stay away:
Love how the people who gave this cruise five stars only left the one review on this site. Obviously they work for the company. I'm still traumatized over the New Year's Eve experience from last year, so I know its getting close, please read what happened to people last year:I cut and paste my review I put on Yelp a year ago:
i dont even know where to begin. this was the worst new years eve experience of my entire life. the boat was supposed to leave at 8pm, but it didnt show up until 11p. thats hours of waiting out in the freezing cold and im extremely sick right now. They were not apologetic or accomodating. There were tourists from Australia who traveled all the way and had to have that horrible experience.
I wish there was an option for NO stars on Yelp. Because I wish I could say that once we got on the boat all was well. That wasn't the case.
The drinks were weak and the place was understaffed, meaning you're lucky if you even got a drink. The waiter came once with a smile and was never seen again. The food was the quality of a high school cafeteria, and the bathrooms were so filthy that i peed standing up.
Most importantly, there was no apologies made. It was almost as if they were doing us a favor by even showing up. I have never come across more arrogant management in my life and being from New York I've definately experienced my share.
I tried to get out of that horrible funk by requesting songs to the DJ which he did not play, just loud ridiculous music. It was just awful almost as if we were on a candid camera reality show to see how much torture guests can put up with.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CRUISE you will be lucky to even have the boat show up! Unfortunate for those like me who had last nights experience and New Years Eve was basically ruined.

Special Night:
Cruised on the Princess out of Perth Amboy with my wife Elaine four our 29th wedding anniversary. I booked the reservation over the phone to surprise Elaine with something different and special. I did not search online for reviews, my son-in-law recommended this and I am surprised at what I have read now.
We had a very nice time. We even had a private table by the window. The food was good and our waitress was friendly. We would have liked to sail to NY but they did not have it available but it was still a pleasant cruise. Will be back soon!
