Best dinner cruises in NYC
![New York Dinner Cruise New York Dinner Cruise](https://media.timeout.com/images/103451757/750/562/image.jpg)
1. New York Dinner Cruise
Patrons flock to Hornblower’s climate-controlled sun deck for the decadent three-course meal and artisan cocktails. With entrée options like honey sesame chicken, oven-roasted flounder and braised beef short ribs, we can’t blame them. It’s hard to not want to get up and dance as you cruise past iconic New York City landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the Brooklyn Bridge to complimentary live jazz.
Where is it? 111, 11th Avenue, New York. Budget range? A pricy one, but well spent for an evening cruise through New York's harbour accompanied by some keys. Time Out Tip: There aren't many seats on the top deck, so it's worth getting there a little earlier to skip the queue.
![Alive After Five Alive After Five](https://media.timeout.com/images/105265567/750/562/image.jpg)
2. Alive After Five
Gather your clocked-out coworkers and friends and board the Alive After Five cruise, which makes the most of happy hour—it actually lasts two hours —along the Hudson River in City Cruises’ Sensation yacht. You’ll have two climate-controlled decks to choose from, plus a covered roof deck, multiple dance floors if and a DJ to get the party moving. This isn't just a cocktail cruise, there's pasta, Tex-Mex and other food options depending on the admission level you choose.
Where is it? The yacht departs from Pier 15 at 78 South st. Budget range? Live it up on this classic yatcht without needing to break the bank. Time Out Tip: Drinks aboard this vessel are a little dearer than usual (even for New York), so you might have to sweet talk the bartender a little.

3. New York Dinner Cruise
Cruise both the Hudson and East Rivers on this two-and-a-half-hour venture set to music from a quality pianist playing classic jazz, blues and Broadway hits.

You'll set a course from Pier 61 and be able to dance and eat the night away with some of the best views of the city going.
Where is it? Board at Pier 61 Chelsea Piers, West 23rd St . Budget range? Unobstructed panoramic views of New York's most iconic landmarks for less than 100 bucks. Steal.

Sip on cocktails, wine and beer from a fully loaded cash bar while live jazz musicians provide the soundtrack for a twinkly evening aboard this dinner cruise.
Where is it? Head to Pier 61 Chelsea Piers. Budget range? A pretty decent price to see this dazzling city lit up as you float along it, especially when you cash in on the unlimited mimosa brunchtime special. Time Out Tip: There's a semi-formal dress code for this floating shindig, so skip the sandals and bring a tie.

This 3-hour cruise down the Hudson River combines delicious food with dazzling sights. Sail past the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island while sipping on premium drinks and snacking on a decadent charcuterie board packed with cheese, meat delicacies, nuts, jam and olives.

Where is it? Head to Pier 76 Hudson River Park. Budget range? A good price for top-notch food, views and live music. Time Out Tip: Gratuities aren’t included, so make sure you bring cash.

7. Skyline Cruises
Spend four hours sailing the NYC harbor, gazing out over landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge and the Empire State Building. In the height of comfort, no less, as the decks are climate controlled. There's also a DJ onboard, a dancefloor and an American buffet offering three courses, from short ribs and grilled bruschetta chicken to lemon sole stuffed with crabmeat–stuffed lemon and pasta. It's worth knowing that Skyline caters for brunch and lunch too.
Where is it? Board at World's Fair Marina. Budget range? A spot aboard this stellar cruise is a little pricier, but who could resist twirling around a rooftop dancefloor? Time Out Tip: Planning on popping the question? Skyline can customize your booking to make it a night to remember.

How to pack for a Family Cruise
A Mom's Foolproof Packing Tips for a Family Cruise....
Many of the attractions onboard require closed-toed shoes and socks, so pack accordingly.
Even if you’re on a summer sailing to the tropics, pack a sweater if you plan to use the ice skating rink.
Luggage might not arrive in your stateroom until later. Pack a swimsuit in your carry-on so you can dive into adventure early.

Trump verdict brings family closer, including ‘a thaw’ between ivanka and melania: source.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.
Donald Trump’s recent guilty verdict in his hush money case has “brought the entire family closer together than they have ever been,” a source tells Page Six.
Says our source of the recent family bonding, “This includes a thaw in the sometimes chilly and tense relationship between Melania and Ivanka.”
The source added: “The entire family including all Trump’s children, and their [significant others, including Don Jr.’s fiancee] Kimberly Guilfoyle are all circling the wagons.”
![family boat cruise nyc The Trump family is “circling the wagons,” a source says. Getty Images](https://pagesix.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/06/girlfriend-melania-knauss-r-attends-57137756_0477ae.jpg)
The verdict has also served as a major fundraising boon for the convicted GOP candidate .
But our Palm Beach and New York insider added that behind-the-scenes, “Donald’s hurting inside and this guilty verdict has really taken a toll on him,” though he’s still enthusiastic about the election, we hear.
Though they did not appear in court during Trump’s trial, family members Melania, son Barron Trump and Ivanka have managed to discreetly slip into Trump Tower to be with the Donald in the wake of the case.
“The family is using Trump Tower’s secret garage entrance and elevator that takes them with no stops directly to his penthouse ,” said our source. “Words of support have overridden any past tension as the family comes together. The family has closed ranks and is behind the campaign. Friends say they’ve haven’t seen the family on the same page like this since his inauguration years ago.”
There have been rumors for years of a frosty relationship between former first daughter Ivanka Trump and ex-first lady Melania Trump.
![family boat cruise nyc Melania Trump and Ivanka Trump.](https://pagesix.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/06/us-first-lady-melania-trump-23637301.jpg)
But another source downplayed any rift, and added that it’s all just been business as usual.
Reports have said that Ivanka is reconsidering a move back into politics after stepping away — but sources close to the former White House aide have insisted to Page Six that she’s continuing to focus on her family and has no political plans.
Page Six has reached out for comment.

The passenger who jumped from the world’s largest cruise ship on Sunday fell a staggering 90 feet to his death, sources said – and staff on board knew exactly what had happened practically before he hit the water.
The man, who has not been identified, jumped from the running track on the fifth level of Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas on the first day of its week-long voyage, a security team member told The Post when the ship returned to Miami Saturday morning.
Each deck is about 20 feet high, so the man fell from approximately 90 feet, the staffer explained.

The man’s body was transported via van to the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner’s Office, according to crew members.
Cops also met the ship and took statements at the docks, and they retrieved a copy of the surveillance footage of the fatal incident.
When the man jumped on May 26, the overboard detection system was activated almost immediately – prompting onboard staff into action, the security team member continued.
“We knew what had happened literally seconds after he hit the water. The protocol is that we’re supposed to immediately make visual contact to see if we can spot him,” the source said, noting that one guard also saw the man jump on a security camera feed .
“It’s the captain’s call whether to stop and turn around, and he did,” he added.
Once the alert was sounded, the ship’s specialized security team prepared to take a rescue boat out to pick up the man.

The rest of the security team was stationed at predetermined lookout spots to do a 360-degree scan of the surrounding waters, while the Coast Guard was also briefed and immediately sent out an aircraft to the site, according to the crew member, who asked not to be named.
While the potential rescue got underway, the Icon of the Seas’ medical team was put on high alert.
The ship had paramedics, nurses, former ER doctors, and even a surgeon on board – as well as all the lifesaving medical equipment one typically finds in a small hospital, a member of the ship’s medical team told The Post.
The man was likely not alive when he was recovered from the water , the source added.

The doctor on board pronounced him dead once his body was transported to the medical bay, according to the crew member.
The passenger’s body was then stored in the on-board morgue, which is equipped with eight drawers.
There were no other fatalities on-board during the week-long voyage, which stopped in Honduras, Mexico and the Bahams, the medical team member said.

An onboard care team assisted the man’s family in the days after the incident, they explained to The Post.
The loved ones had the option of staying on the ship or flying home – though most bereaved families opt to stay with their relative’s body, the source noted.
The other passengers disembarking the massive ship – which holds up to 7,600 guests and 2,350 crew members – said they mostly went about their business for the rest of the cruise, though there was a prayer circle in the man’s honor.
“I didn’t know him but I felt horrible about it,” says Janine Pernell, a passenger from Atlanta.
Pernell was one of about 20 people who attended the small memorial that was held on the running deck.
“We just all held hands and prayed that the family would find comfort and peace. There were a lot of tears. We felt like it was all we could do,” she lamented.
