Don’t be in a rush to get there at 5:30, line is long and moves slow. Everybody has assigned tables so you get your table if your 1st or last to board.\r
We boarded the Majesty with about 400 people it was crowded. Luckily we had a table away from the buffet line or you would have people butting up against your table during the dinner.\r
The appetizers were just ok, that is if you were lucky enough to get ones of the 1st trays of serving after that it was all mini hotdogs and stuff from Sams . I rate the appetizers a 1\r
The drinks were good name brand liquors and Heineken, no frozen drinks and long lines at the bar. I rate drinks a 3\r
The music was good. a DJ although the dance floor was very , very small and the buffet line down stairs ran right though the dance floor. I rate DJ a 4 and the dance floor 1 \r
\r
The dinner “Sucked” . They ran out of beef and gravy half way through the dinner line. They ran out of chicken except for cold buffalo wings, you had to wait for them to bring in new ½ trays of cold food. I could go on and on about dinner but it didn’t even rate a 1\r
\r
Next the cruise to the Hudson from Perth Amboy....LOL..unless you like the smell of oil and pertolium . It was horrible view until you reach the NY skyline then the view was spectacular. About a 45 minute ride to get to NY.\r
I rate the view a 2\r
\r
The firework display we went to view was probably very good except we were way to far away to see them The boat should have gotten closer. We could have driven a car closer from the Jersey side and have seen them better. I would definitely not recommend going on the boat just to see the fireworks, it will only be another disappointment and you don’t want to go for the appetizers and dinner or the view. How about desert...NOT..we sat toward the front of the boat and they start serving coffee from the back. It took over 30 minutes just to get a cup of coffee to have with my desert.\r
\r
Oh.... and another thing the bathroom upstairs..DISGUSTING...piss filled to the top of the bowl in the mens room, my wife decided to hold it for the 5 hr trip.\r
\r
The whole experience I would rate a 1, barely.\r
I would not recommend anybody take the 4th of July cruise.
Pros: Easy to get to boat location.good DJ
Cons: Food sucked, bathrooms disgusting, not close to fireworks
