Very horrible parking situation. No one at the cruise new anything about parking. Yet it's been there for years. A ticket never had to be validated before hiking back to the Sheraton. No one was even present at the larking lot. Anyone can freely go and come after a certain time.

Hi Sara- We appreciate you notifying us of the situation, and we apologize for your experience. In order to investigate this matter further, we'd like to contact you personally. Please reach out to us via [email protected] with your name, cruise confirmation number, and the contents of this review. Once we receive your email, a member of our team will reach out as soon as possible. Thanks - Anna

The Spirit of New Jersey was the perfect setting for my friend's 60th Birthday Party! The food, DJ and crew were first class all the way. Special thanks to the restaurant manager Alex and the Captain Derick, you guys were wonderful. I will definitely book this cruise again in the very near future.

I went on this with a group of other university-associated people for the lunch cruise. Everything on-board was good (waiters, food, etc.). The views of the Statue of Liberty and other areas of the NY Waterfront were the best part of the cruise. The only downside was the overpriced bar ($12 for a mudslide), and because of the prices, I didn't bother buying any drinks. So yeah, come for the good food and views of the NY Waterfront, but don't consider buying the drinks on-board.

We had one of our family reunion events here and I have to admit, it was a lot of fun. The buffet lunch was good, with the exception of the bread (it was hard) and the view of the NJ and NYC skylines and Statue of Liberty was amazing. Service staff was awesome as well; very friendly.

My company had our Christmas party on Friday night. It wasn't the rocking that made me want to vomit--it was the horrible food. Wretched. How the chef calls himself a chef is beyond me... I would be embarrassed to serve anyone frozen food. The vegetables were all flavorless reheated frozen veg. The pasta dish was also clearly from a bag of frozen pasta. The sauces were from packets or jars. I'm a vegetarian, but my sister said the fish was also clearly frozen. The mashed potatoes were salty and clearly powdered. Seriously??? You can't friggin' make real mashed potatoes??? The cost is 50 bucks a person and I'm served frozen crap I don't even keep at home? My best friend's 10 year old can boil water, too. Is she a chef? The waitstaff was very attentive and the views were spectacular. But I don't understand the food. I mean, the chef knows how many people will be cruising...and he can't prepare fresh food? Fresh vegetables are CHEAPER than frozen. Making a fresh alfredo or marinara is cheaper than buying packaged. It makes no sense. I was embarrassed for him. Apparently the peppermint bark was hand made by the chef--and it was tasty. I guess he had plenty of time on his hands--as nothing else required anything beyond putting a pot on some heat and emptying a bag. A chimp could do that. And though "manager" Chandlin (?) or something tried really hard, he lacked the charm and gravitas he was attempting to demonstrate. But his staff really was exemplary. Never again.

My fiancé and I had a blast. It was a very her birthday and we had a great time. The crew and captain were very pleasant.

Experience was less than par. From the moment we got on the boat, we were told that there was a low occupancy (98 guests), which I thought was good for us since we had young babies and therefore would make things easier in terms of space. However, the low occupancy was not in our favor; the buffet line was extra long and took forever to serve. There was only one line, which looks like 2 would have been more efficient. Some of the food did run out and I was told it would be ready in 5 minutes. It was not. When dessert time came, I asked for coffee, however they ran out. I did see other tables being served coffee. To make things better, they did not compensate us for the coffee, but they still charged us $2.50 per soda. WTF??? Food was good, but terrible customer service. The $50/pp price tag is not worth it. I'm giving 2 stars because the DJ/MC event host was excellent, he did his job very well.

Dear Chris, we apologize for your negative experience aboard Spirit. We strive to create an unforgettable atmosphere for all guests and it's clear we failed to do so on your cruise. We take customer feedback seriously and would like to resolve the situation. I have sent you a private message so we can personally follow up with your issues.

Happy birthday to me!!! The best idea to celebrate it here! Girls just wanna have fun!

My husband and I had a very romantic evening on the Spirit of New Jersey. The food was great and the DJ was good. Our waiter was extremely friendly and efficient. The views of the Statue of Liberty at night were awesome! I booked the evening on the same day we dined. I wanted to really spark up the romance so I paid the extra money to have a private table, roses, and champagne. When we boarded the vessel we found out that the package we paid for had not made it into the on board system. We were extremely disappointed, however the Cruise Manager, Anthony Martinez, took care of everything and made sure we had everything we needed. We had a phenomenal evening. We would definitely cruise and dine on the Spirit of New Jersey again!

Brilliant cruise and more amazing is the entire staff! Food can be improved upon but overall amazing experience.
