This was an amazing experience my wife bought us tickets for my birthday the food was excellent and the ambiance was really nice. The only things I didn't like was the photographer went all around taking pictures of everyone except me and my wife and on the ticket my wife got it said first come first serve and we came early so we could get a window seat but they set those seats were already reserved.
I had a blast cruising around the Statue of Liberty in this boat!
The ship was reserved for my group and we got to spend the entire evening dining and partying on the ship. The dinner was decent but it was really the experience that made it memorable. You can see the NYC skyline from the deck and the views are breathtaking! The DJ was also pretty good so it just made the evening that much more enjoyable.
I was given the opportunity to participate in a private radio station cruise via the World Yacht Princess. The boat ride and the nice views were included, and everything else (including food) had to be paid for on-board. I had fun on this cruise! My friend and I had the pleasure of meeting the "party crew" and DJs of the radio station, and talking with them briefly. We also participated in the "Guess The Number and Spin The Wheel" game, which was fun too.
The cruise itself sailed at a smooth (or close-to) speed, and went toward the Statue of Liberty. After that, it turned around and sailed back to the pier. Ahh, the views were awesome! I had the pleasure of taking photos of certain spots, and let's not forget about the panoramas! 🙂 Seriously, who doesn't like looking at the views? 😛 The weather was nice for this event. The ship itself looked okay too.
When it comes to rating cruises of ANY kind, I consider the food and drink qualities, and on-board pricing. Unfortunately, my low rating is the result of that.
We didn't eat dinner prior to boarding, so we decided to eat here. We paid $9 for Chicken Fingers with Fries from their limited menu. For a price that high, we expected the food to be really good. While it was edible, the quality was disappointing. The chicken itself was okay (wasn't sure if this was frozen before), but the fries were not fresh, as they were soggy and re-heated. No other sides were included.
If that wasn't insulting enough, how about the drinks? $3 for a CUP of soda (which I got). WOW, I've been on other cruises before, and they give you more (a can) for the same price. Oh and if you wanted water, you had to pay $3 for that too (a cup!). On other cruises, it was available at no extra charge (excluding bottles). Want beer or a mixed drink? $9 and more! Yeah, I paid less for all of that stuff (or received more for same price) when I was on another cruise line last month. So yeah, didn't buy any alcoholic drinks for that reason.
This was my first (and LAST) time with World Yacht. Even though I had a great time on this ship during the private event, and really enjoyed the AWESOME views that were provided throughout the duration, I'm sorry but I will NOT be considering any more cruises with this company.
Advisory: The ship kept on "rocking" while it was in dock. Hang on to the railings when walking through.
I would of have a well thought out review if they didn't cancel there halloween boat party like last Minute…that kinda pissed me off but whatever… Without notifying me by email the party was canceled…I waited outside in the freezing cold for about a hour… Just waiting to see if its actually coming…the person that work for security around the docks didn't hear anything about a Halloween party or even know world yachts does these kinds of event… Um Okies so tickets that was purchased on the site was fake or something…that nice… I was just standing thinking why do I always have such bad luck when it comes to everything… Every time I try to do something fun it turns out pretty shitty or disappointing… This place is not affecent at all…should of notified me with an email or something…the dock was pretty…pretty much was freezing my ass all night staring at the moon…sighhh…. No there is no parking in the area…be carefully of the crazy all no parking signs they are freaken hidden…you can't even spot that shit out… On top of not being able to attend this event ….got a ticket how sucky was that to end the night …greattteee
The boat ride was nice. At first I figured 2 hours would be too long but it gave time for intimate thinking and a nice get away from the world.
The food could've been better for the price, and the workers who stood over the food to make sure you didn't take a lot made the experience awkward. Especially since its an all-you-can eat buffet.
overall, the drinks, music, and ride was enjoyable. I wouldn't go again, only because its a one-time type of experience. Nothing you would pay to go repeatedly.
Wow! This was much more fun than I expected.
The service was great. Clayton was our server and he was very attentive.
Food was amazing! Every dish tasted great and fresh. The Local Market Salad was very flavorful. The Black Tea Chicken was amazing. It was soft, succulent, and flavorful. The Decadent Mango Cheesecake was also very good.
The views were spectacular. My photos of the Statue of Liberty were blurred by the auto-focus (too much contrast between light on the statue and the darkness).
The DJ was surprisingly good. Songs were more for people in their early to late 30s but everyone got up to dance and have a good time.
I easily get sea-sick but not on this boat (The Duchess).
I strongly recommend for anyone who likes good food, wants to get away from the crowds.
Was very nice only reason I didn't give 5stars was the crowd kept starring at my fiancé & myself (lgbt) people need to get with the times its legalized in ny now
What a truly romantic evening on the world yacht!. My husband and I frequent dinner cruises all over the us. And in fact we had our entire wedding on the odyssey in Chicago. We had a lovely dinner. For starters the charcuterie plate filled with blue cheese, Brie, fruit, salami etc. Then a ceaser salad. For entrees I had the filet mignon cooked perfectly with Yukon gold roasted potatoes and green beans. My husband had the organic Amish chicken and rice. For dessert we tried the NY cheesecake( a classic in NYC) and the raspberry almond tart. The ambiance on the boat was nicer the The Spirit or The odyssey. We will be back soon.
