We attended a wedding at this debacle. This is such a horribly managed business (Destiny Yacht) the manager/owner whatever ,the older gentleman with the dirty button up shirt. This boat has been poorly maintained due to lack of air conditioning, the ceiling leaking everywhere, the food if that's what you call it. If you want to experience an ordeal, observe people suffering, or burn your hard earn cash then this is the spot for you! read more

The food was 10 out of 10 amazing service and the ambience was out of this world everyone in my party love it Steve the manager is one of the nicest person I have ever meet a very honest business man. I will definitely consider his yacht for my next adventure I give the a 5 stars across the board read more

Had a nice and enjoyable time on a stunning evening with friends. Staff was friendly, drinks were good, buffet food was good. Sorry, no pics. I wasn't really in that mindset this time. The buffet food was what was to be expected. If you like "Wedding food" (I don't) you'll like this. Salmon, Pasta dish, Cheeses, Bread, Chicken, & Beef. I can't fault them for serving food I don't particularly care for, but it was tasty. They had a DJ, but there was a bit too much 80's power ballads going on for my taste. DJ played the typical "line dance" music later, but that was whatever. I really enjoyed the view & the experience as a whole. read more

The 4th of July cruise was pretty terrible. There was no direction upon check in at Perth Amboy. And no direction when the bus dropped us off in Hoboken. The company could have had at least ONE person direct 2 bus loads of people? We were on the boat for almost 1.5 hours before the bar opened, and then another 30 mins before food was served. Food was good, I'll give them that. But this is where the cruise took a terrible turn. During our dinner service, the boat docked in NY to board another 700 people. Now the people who paid $200 for this cruise suddenly had to fight crowds if they wanted to see the fireworks. It became a ghetto mob scene. Then, COVID aside, there was absolutely no security to manage the crowd/checking bags. And to top it off, the boat stopped far from the fireworks so we didn't even get to enjoy the reason we all were on that boat in the first place. I'll throw in some good points though. We enjoyed the company of the people we shared space with. They had 3 types of dessert. The $200 ticket came with an open bar to drink away your sorrows of this cruise. read more

What a terrible experience this was! Aside from the fireworks, the food was very low quality and the variety was minimal. The style of music they chose was a very specific genre that was SO incredibly loud, it was annoying and did not provide for the ability to have any conversation with people you were with. An overall disappointing and bad experience! read more

a night to remember celebrated my belated 60th bday with 9 friends , despite with ear infection , the rocking of the boat while on dock got worsen and asked the lady in charge to be moved because we were situated at he end of the boat. She just said that she can put us at lower level, really? she could have done something for us and not very accommodating at all. Food was good and did not try there dessert because i had my bday cake bought by my special friend Rose. My only suggestion with the cruise line is to clean up the bathroom, it was not clean at all and with delta virus being rampant not a single sanitizer is seen inside the ship . The ship needs some upgrades , very old and tired. This was my second time to sail at the Cornucopia Destiny and don't know if i will book it again. i like the cruise in the NY city side because we were able to be closed into the Statue of Liberty. I asked the DJ if i can request 2 music and he said no in a nasty way. Overall my friends like the food but music only read more

First time going here. I saw a deal on groupon. They boarded at 6:30pm we got there a few mins early so they told us to go inside one of ships and wait until they open. I havent gone on a dinner cruise for a long time. It was a rainy day so we didnt see any sunset. The food was great. I didnt like the chocolate cale and the green beans tasted like it was the frozen veggies in a bag. The short rib had a ton of fat in it, to make it look like you are getting a big piece of meat, they shouldve taken the fat out but it is soft and melts in your mouth. The salmon was good and great music, very lively. The staff were super nice and friendly. read more

Such a lovely evening from the staff the DJ to the delicious food & dessert. We had a blast on the dance floor with all the other cruisers celebrating weddings, Birthdays, Anniversaries. Their was a great male dancer who kept the dance floor packed. We met so many friendly people the sites from the Hudson were incredible We will definitely be back when in town Thank you Groupon & Cornucopia read more

Went on the Hoboken cruise on 5/26/22. It was an amazing experience! The staff was really nice. The food was good. The views were absolutely breathtaking! The boat stops near the Statue of Liberty so you can take some close up pictures! The DJ was also great! He played a wide variety of songs. Everyone was dancing towards the end. Really nice :) Will definitely recommend read more

Everything was fine but there was literally over $100 in fees and taxes on said fees. There was a $60 activity fee which I didn't even know existed and then $17 of taxes on that fee. I don't care how good the service is that many fees gets you 1 star. read more

Service was non-existent. I bought the tickets for my mom, aunt, and grandmother to enjoy as they were visiting from Ireland. I'd preordered them a bottle of wine, which was not on the table when they arrived, but received an hour after they were seated and only after they'd asked four different people. They ordered a second bottle of wine (white wine, delivered warm) which came an hour and a half after ordering. On top of all that, they were one of the last people to leave the cruise and, after having no one come to settle the bill for the extra bottle they assumed that the card on file to purchase the tickets would be charged and left. I received a bunch of phone calls while in bed in NH from a number that was said to be registered in CA. I sent this unknown number to voicemail as I don't know anyone in CA and it was after 10:30pm on a Sunday night. Instead of leaving a voicemail and explaining the situation, they called me FIVE TIMES in a row. When I answered the call the woman on the other line only said "You forgot to pay your bill". When I asked what they were calling about, the woman became rude, until I told her I had no idea why she was calling me about an unpaid bill as I was in NH all day. Then she hung up on me only to call me back again and give the phone to her manager to explain the situation. Honestly, I should've blocked the number after the third phone call with no voicemail being left. The lack of professionalism that I experienced from the staff and I wasn't even there for the experience is beyond me. When I spoke to my family, they said that the service was nonexistent. Receiving a bottle of wine that was PREPAID after dinner has already been served is not acceptable. When I purchased the tickets I requested a window seat with a nice view as family are visiting from Ireland. When they arrived, they were seated at a table in the middle of the floor, away from the windows, by the back door. When my mom asked if they could sit in a window seat as the request had been made, they were told no because they "made the reservation through Groupon". If you book an experience, it shouldn't matter where you book it, you paid for the experience. I am completely disgusted by the experience I received and horrified that after spending so much money, through Groupon or otherwise, my mom, aunt, and grandmother did not receive the service and experience they were advertised. On top of all that, instead of letting my mom settle the bill the next day as she was driving home at 11pm, they hassled me into paying it over the phone because they "needed to closed the tab". It should not be my problem that these servers left my mom and family with so little attention or information (saying "please settle the bill at the bar" when delivering the second bottle of wine would've sufficed) that now they're short the $50. Either close the till $50 short or let her settle it in the morning. After paying over the phone, the receipt showed an add on of a 20% GRATUITY CHARGE! Do not charge automatic gratuity if you can't deliver! read more

In a nutshell... Get there early to choose good seats. It's a buffet, and the food is just OK. Your basics like salad, chicken, beef, fish and carbs. The servers are oblivious. If you want a drink you have to go up to the bar and ask. Servers are not attentive. Manager was nice and accommodating. Crowd is very mixed. We felt overdressed. There were people with dirty sneakers and hoodies on. We had fun dancing even though not many people were dancing. Views of the city were great! Dj was Ok, but we made it fun anyway by dancing and being silly by ourselves. Yes, it's a bit overpriced and we have been on better ones in Ny that cost more. Wouldn't do it again on this cruise line and I don't recommend you do it either. read more

Tips: get there early for a good table, do NOT pre buy the wine. They will say they are out and upscale an equvilant bottle Food is medicore at best. Astronomical price for a sub par view of the city. Boat goes extremely slow. Barley make it to statue of liberty. Would NOT recommend. read more

I had an excellent time on this cruise. Unfortunately it was too windy to set sail, but the evening was still great. We couldn't even tell that we hadn't sailed. Our server Ronaldo was the sweetest gentleman checking on us often and being so helpful. The food was delicious! They had warm bread waiting at our table, then we received a salad, pasta, the main course beef short rib cooked excellent, with delicious mashed potatoes, string beans, and fresh salmon. For dessert I had the chocolate cake which I was too full to even finish! The music was amazing, something for everyone. It wasn't crowded at all. I will definitely be going again when the weather is nicer so we can actually set sail. read more

Cornucopia Cruise Line - The food was so delicious - New American Near Me - Perth Amboy, New Jersey

Terrible experience from top to bottom. Food was well below average. The salmon dish is clearly frozen, and had a significant fishy taste as well as being under seasoned (the absolute cardinal sin for frozen fish). Stay away from this dish unless you want a soggy, steamed frozen salmon that probably had more flavor as some kind of crappy caviar. The worst part, and I mean the WORST, was finding out (while my girlfriend was in the bathroom no less) that the restrooms were closed. Two security officers aggressively approached me to literally complain that the bathrooms weren't functioning and that we shouldn't use them - NO SIGN AT ALL. I told them they needed a sign, which preceded them telling me that I needed to leave. You guys are terrible. Shit food, shit service, shit security. Go the way of the dodo. Be gone. Good night. read more

We went on the cruise again last night. The food was very good, no complaints, BUT! The drinks! $14.00 bucks for watered down drinks! Mostly ice, and maybe a tiny splash of alcohol! Our waitress kept pushing us to drink - she kept asking if we wanted another - I had 2 Bay Breeze, my husband had 1. When it came to ordering our dessert, she neglected to mention the 3rd choice - Tiramisu, my favorite. When I asked whether this was not being served, she replied, "oh, yes, it is" - then why did you not say so? Perhaps you get to take the unserved dessert home?? Anyway, I was pretty pissed when we got our check for the 3 watered down drinks - $42.00! They used to be $7.00..... read more

PERTHAMBOY LOCATION - DONT. DO IT To Whom It May Concern, I've been trying to call this morning but I cannot get through to you! For my December 17, 2022 birthday party I had 45 guests purchased tickets. I paid for all my guests to have soda all night. No one received any soda. I would like my refund of 350.00 back in full! I told your waitresses that I was opening a tab for tables 1 through 7. They were charging my guests individual tabs. The waitress that attended to my table did not speak English well. Five people got sick after they ate the cheesecake and my friend Diane Wright is in the hospital as we speak. My niece was also sick from the cheesecake. My guests from table 1 to 4 never received any desserts which were supposed to be included with their ticket. My friend Shannon McNeil waited 30 minutes for the cheesecake that made everyone sick. The customer service was horrible. My friend ended up in the hospital the next day from food poisoning! My brother asked for a second cup of coffee and they told him no! He purchased 5 tickets and could not get a second cup of coffee. This was unacceptable! The waitress removed my friend's cup of coffee before she could finish it and she had to have them pour her another cup. The boat was not ready to board at 6:30pm and my guests were freezing outside.(Unacceptable). read more

I had a fabulous time celebrating my birthday! The cruise was lovely, the team was outstanding, and overall, it was a fantastic experience. If you're considering experiencing this dinner cruise, I highly recommend it. We sailed on a Sunday night in September out of the Hoboken 14th Street pier in the Destiny. We were a group of 19 people, but there were anywhere from couples to large groups, and it was lovely for all. The buffet dinner was excellent, above average compared to other dinner cruises I've done, and there was plenty for second servings. We did the premium open bar option, and the drinks kept coming. There were plenty of servers, and they were all happy to please and went above and beyond to ensure the very last of the stubborn candles on my cake were lit. The music was great; not many people were dancing, but that was the type of crowd we had. The VIEWS are the best views of NYC at night. I've lived here for 30 years and had never seen NYC at night look so beautiful. The ship is not as new, but it's kept well, and the dining room is gorgeous. The only improvement I see as necessary or ideal would be the bathroom. On the dining room floor, there was only one toilet and a single bathroom. It didn't bother anyone, but perhaps I missed another one on a different floor. Arrive early at the pier to get the most spectacular views and photos! Overall, this was a FIVE-start experience for me and my guest, and I'm so happy I celebrated my special birthday here. You should, too! read more

The worst cruise around Manhattan imaginable short of sinking. This was a smooth jazz cruise with amazing artists. Even with the great music, if I knew what I do now, I wouldn't have booked it. Whoever was supposed to be running this wasn't running it. The staff was incompetent at best and criminally violent at worst. A staff member took a passenger by the shoulders and violently shoved him. This was because the passenger expressed anger that all of us were feeling and many is us were expressing after four hours of dangerous conditions and the worst service, service and the inability to timely disembark you could think of. The only thing good to say is that many of passengers who were strangers bonded in our dissatisfaction, we had fond memories of the Hornblower smooth jazz night cruise of earlier summers. read more

We enjoyed the dinner cruise of New York last night. It is a great experience. The food is very acceptable, the service is excellent and the views are really special.

Thank you Cornucopia! read more

Mark J thought he was going to see exotic sights on this cruise, if you wanted to see different sights, you should've gone to Tahiti, views on a boat are better. Your review is completely bitter and incorrect. Shame on you! Had an absolutely outstanding experience yesterday with three friends, celebrating our birthdays. The staff was warm and welcoming, anxious to please, our waiter was attentive, the food was absolutely wonderful! Every offering was prepared and presented beautifully. The music they pumped up after the food service was wonderful, everybody got up and danced and it was so much fun. I can't wait to do this again! read more

Took the 3 hour dinner cruise out of Hoboken on a Wednesday evening. Food was what you would expect...mediocre buffet (desserts were actually very tasty). The cruise (which is always fun no matter the circumstances because what's not fun about cruising on the water) actually started out on the water after 7:15. And basically it was over at 9:15 because we sat out in the water away from the dock for about 45 minutes before we docked. So basically it's a 2 hour cruise. I stayed outside after dinner and enjoyed the scenery, the water, and the night air. It did start raining, but we were able to stay on the middle deck which is covered but very open. There was a dj and a dance floor and lots of people danced. It's a great venue for a party! I would have enjoyed less party...more cruise. read more

This cruise should be called the NJ Industrial/State DOT/Oil Tank cruise. The boat stays in the bay going in a circle. The views are not appealing but the service people did a nice job. read more

The staff was friendly and attentive, and eager to accommodate food allergies. The food was tasty. The sail was smooth and on time.

The food wasn't that great and considering that for all the money you pay they don't even have to go containers was a mess. The only thing given was a piece of foil for you to wrap your food up in. The DJ only started playing decent music to dance to once the cruise was ready to dock. I feel bad for the worker that got sick for whatever reason because the rest of the staff wasn't really up to par those that were service related. The older woman I guess that's the owner or whatever she is her attitude sucked the whole entire time. This was the Perth Amboy location as well if this is helpful. Will never try again. read more

this was my 4th time and i normally have a good time . this time the staff could of done a better job on 8/10/25 7pm-10pm . the boat left late and the time was not made up for it . no waiter ever attended my table i had to get up from my table multiple times to ask for water . once i finished eating i had to pick up my own plate and find a waiter to take it . my table was never approached by a waiter so i had to goto the bar my self and order drinks . the bartender was more focused having a conversation with his co worker than acknowledging the customers. the drinks were overpriced which i would not have minded if they actually felt like they had any alchol in them . would still recommend to a freind but this experience was very poor this time around. lastly staff should not be eating in front of paying passengers during the event and the tall Dominican guy with the curly fade hair cut walks around like owns the place and seems to forget he is at work read more

Christ. Horrible experience. About two minutes after we sat down the waiter came over and asked "What do you want?" Great start. The food was horrendous. Appetizers were frozen shrimp. Salad was wilting lettuce and craft salad dressing. Steak was absolutely flavorless and tasted like the lunches I used to get in public school. Music sucked and nobody danced. Boat windows were filthy, which didn't seem to matter since there was nothing to look at. Never went into NY harbor or even close. Ordered drinks that were horrible also. The manager sitting out doing paperwork was a nice touch as well. All around the staff was lazy, inattentive, stupid sounding and useless. Would have never come to this knowing that it is in NJ if not for my girlfriend's mother (who is incapable of reading reviews apparently) buying us cheap tickets. I guess what can you expect from New Jersey. Don't let the fake reviews on groupon or even here fool you. This was horrible. read more

The Cornucopia dinner cruises are always top-notch. This review is concerning the New Year's Eve 2021 event on the Cornucopia Princess departing Perth Amboy, NJ, and celebrating NYE 2021 in NYC harbor with fireworks and breathtaking views of the NYC skyline, including a closeup view of the Statue of Liberty. When my party of four arrived at the ship/yacht, we were warmly greeted by Lori, who I also had the pleasure of speaking with during the booking process. The entire staff was highly professional, attentive, courteous, and keen on event detail. This level of exceptional quality service was nothing new; it's just something that I've come to expect and appreciate from Cornucopia. Thanks again, Cornucopia, for another extraordinary celebratory experience. Happy 2022! read more

Had the worst New Year in my entire life! My husband and I decided like every year to take a new year cruise so we booked the CORNUCOPIA DESTINY! Which was the only boat on the New Jersey side! the boat is old!!! The aroma of gasoline had me dizzy! It was so strong I felt sick! Very small boat for the amount of tickets they sold! I repeat... They over sold the tickets! No heater!!!! The food was cold! THERE WAS NO MUSIC IN THE BASEMENT "(first floor)" . It was so boring! No attention to the clients what so ever! The captain didn't parked the boat sideways so everyone could see the fireworks, instead only people standing in the front could see them! The list goes on and on! What a nightmare! I feel like requesting my money back! But let me continue.... When we boarded the ship we were send to the cold and super packed upper floor like I previously mentioned no heater! The DJ was okay but again who wants to dance or have dinner standing up while freezing!? So finally went to the first floor were you could hear people thoughts that's how boring it was! They made the second floor vip we were able to pass by and the DJ was a man playing the most boring 1990s hits! By this I mean not a real DJ just someone playing his favorite music. We approached manager whom you could see didn't care about the disorganization, the staff had no guidance! Only one server in the staff that knew how mess up the whole thing was kept apologizing to us. HE KNEW HOW DISAPPOINTED EVERYONE WAS!!!. I never experienced such a bad new year party and I get on boats every year!! Expensive tickets but no service or care. How do you manage to just stuff people together and say " fck them! We got their money!" Horrible boat , dirty, outdated! Worst decoration! I literally took a picture of a tv just casually standing on top of an old drawer near the dried grass they had as part of the decor! I swear I am not exaggerating anything! This was true nightmare! I couldn't wait for the boat to dock so I could go home! IF YOU EVER FIND THIS BOAT IN HOBOKEN I SUGGEST YOU AVOID AT ALL COST! You will regret it! Let me add a screenshot from a video where you could see what the decor was! read more

Cornucopia Cruise Lines delivers an exceptional experience that keeps you coming back for more! After a fantastic cruise in Hoboken on April 21st, my companions and I were so impressed that we couldn't resist the urge to embark on another adventure, this time in Perth Amboy on May 11. And once again, Cornucopia Cruise Lines exceeded our expectations in every way possible. From the tantalizing food to the delightful drinks, every aspect of the experience was top-notch. Our server Chloé was a true gem, providing impeccable service with warmth and professionalism.And let's not forget about DJ Joel, whose incredible talent kept the party alive all night long,he kept the energy high and the dance floor packed throughout the night. I can't recommend Cornucopia Cruise Lines enough for a memorable and unforgettable experience on the water.Well will be back. read more

The food was mediocre, at best. The drinks were okay but the bar has NO top shelf liquor and the bartender had to keep coming over to our table to inquire about our order or offer us substitutes for the liquor our server assured us they had, but they ultimately did not. Service was incredibly slow (my water glass remained empty for 30 minutes) and although the DJ was great, his speaker was blown for the first hour of the ride. I would not do this ever again read more

My husband decided that this would be a great idea for my birthday and boy was he far from right on this one. We checked in for the weekday dinner cruise on June 15th. Check in was no problem. There was a photographer on the dock taking photos, if you'd like. They try and sell you the photos in a frame for $25 a piece while you eat dessert. From there, things went downhill. If I could sum it up in word it would be why? Like why did he ever think this was a good idea. We were seated at table 11. Our waiter Dean had to manage a large section so we rarely saw him. Dean was friendly when we did interact. I originally wanted a margarita. After seeing the drinks from the bar, I changed to an Amaretto sour to be on the safer side. Again, I was wrong. Why? The Amaretto sour was so sour with mix that you did not taste the alcohol. The drink is not served in a rocks glass but a water goblet. I would suggest sticking to wine. My husband ordered a whisky sour and there was tonic water in the whisky sour, again why? Amaretto sours and whisky sours were $12 a piece. Secondly, there is only one Buffett line for the dinner cruise for more than one hundred people consisting of 6 or 7 sternos. Tables are called by number. Unfortunately our table (table 11 and table 10) seemed to be forgotten about, as guests from upstairs higher numbered tables enjoyed the buffet without being called. People were going for seconds and our table wasn't even able to go up for first servings. Before we were even able to eat dinner, the poor waiter was prepping dessert orders. The buffet is minimal with dinner. Dinner rolls cut in 4, Caesar salad, Fruit platter (which was done before our table was able to go), the fish was tilapia, the pasta penne vodka was tolerable, the chicken was sliced and diced in strange cuts unsure of the sauce or flavoring, the beef was cut and drowned in sauce, the green beans and potatoes were okay but cold. I would not recommend. The pasta was a lifesaver. You are better bringing your own food and going on a Seastreak sunset cruise. At least with that cruise you'll see the statute of liberty. Dessert is the options of tiramisu cake, chocolate cake or vanilla cake. It's no longer Costco cake but it's okay for a plain cake. A dj was playing music after dinner. However the atmosphere reminded me of a cringey middle school dance complete with the middle school children. Maybe with a few drinks it would have been tolerable. Again, in case Yelp is not clear, you do not see the statute of liberty of this dinner cruise. You do not even leave beyond the sandy hook bay. For $79 per person, I would never recommend this cruise after the poor food, atmosphere and general aesthetic. The ship has potential but needs an overhaul. You're better off cruising from Bayonne or a city based line if you're looking for a dinner cruise. read more

Wasn't worth the money I spent 550 dollars for dinner for dinner for 2. It was a buffet and to be honest food wasn't that bad but the usual cheap selection. (Bake chicken, some sort of slice beef, some kind of fish, and of course bake ziti and salad) However my biggest complaint is the boat was an hour late with no explanation or any offer of compensation. My partner and I made the best of it and didn't complain. However we decided we never have to do this again. The music was bad as well looking at the other party boats looked so much more lively dancing on their deck. Our music was inside on the lower level and you couldn't hear it outside. Not to mention it was hot inside the boat. read more
