Parking is a beast, along with the delayed traffic near the pier. We were grateful that they waited for us to set sail…some ADA passengers needed extra time. Give yourself plenty of time before the cruise.

Walk through pier 43 for food and to see the seals. Lots of options

We went on red and white cruises when on the 4th of July cruise We had a awesome time they had a lot of candy to give us the drinks were all right They played a lot of different type of music
