Parking was difficult but found a reasonable lot
90-Minute New York Twilight Cruise
Free Waterway buses were good. We traveled to and from 34th St.
Bring Sunglasses.
Bring your own food and drink to save money!
Allow plenty of time to convert confirm to ticket as the lines were very long & slow
We only waited about 10 minutes...went by quickly. Got there within 15 minutes of taking off.
Walk from subway is arduous if you are late. When leaving busses rudely make you wait.
Try to avoid using shuttle if at all possible as it really spoils the end of a great cruise!
The closest subway station is 34th St Penn Station, which is a bit of a walk (not bad tho)
Only snacks available, no meals.
Prices were comparable to all food and drink purchases in New York
Long line to board, waiting in line at least 15 minutes
Busses were waiting for us when we got off the boat.
Be prepared to wait at least 15-20 mins for buses
Something warm on your head is a must
We were able to bring water and soft drinks on board.
They definitely check for ID.
Must have id
Walked from where I was - go right to Pier 78 to board - there are no tickets
Eat beforehand - drinks were ok
