We received Liberty Cruise tickets as part of the destination fee at Moxy Times Square and decided to use the two complimentary passes and purchase two more for our kids to round off our NYC trip.
Unfortunately, the experience was frustrating and poorly managed. The 2pm cruise was cancelled without notice, and the waiting area was chaotic — poorly signposted, with no shade cover and no staff managing the queue. We were left standing in a long, disorganised line under the sun with no clear information or support.
With a 5pm flight from JFK, the 3:30pm cruise felt too risky — both in terms of timing and safety due to potential overcrowding. Customer service offered a credit to return, but we’re now back in the UK with no plans to revisit soon.
We ended up losing the cost of two kids’ tickets, MTA fares to the pier, a return Uber ride, and four hours on our final day — time we had hoped to spend enjoying the city. Based on our experience and other reviews, I’d strongly recommend reconsidering this cruise operator. It felt more like a liability than a perk.
