Wonderful cruise but the food was not that great. Follow a gluten free diet and while I listed this on the original reservation, it was hard to determine what was GF.

My wife and I loved it --- the food, seeing the statue of Liberty. The staff was very professional, and they were very helpful. The experience was great, thank you for a lovely experience.

— Daniel J | Aug 08, 2016

First ever time on a lunch cruise. This was a gift from my children. The Spirit of New Jersey was in ship-shape (pun intended). The staff were all gracious and helpful. Our server was Karesse, a bubbly, friendly waitress. She was there for our needs, made us feel so comfortable. Rob the DJ also was very professional. The food was a 10!!!!!!! We definitely will return, kudos to Cloud 9 Living.

— TOM G | Jun 06, 2016

We enjoyed the cruise very much. The food was very good and the staff was extremely nice. The only thing I would suggest improvement on would the boarding process. It took a long time to get on the boat, and I think it could be much faster.

— Madeline M | Aug 17, 2015

Food was good, though it took quite a while before we were allowed the buffet. People were coming back for seconds and we had to wait for more food to be brought out. Guide was friendly, but not informative at all. Mentioned 2 or 3 sights, one of which was Statue of Liberty. You didn't have to be from NY to know that. I would go again, hopefully with a more interested guide.
