Dinner Cruise

Before we have the available time and resource to go on a vacation cruise, we went on a 3-hr dinner cruise in Manhattan.

The cruise consisted of an outdoor deck for sightseeing, dancing, live cabaret, and a buffet dinner. The atmosphere was much different than what I had expected. Despite the fact that there was a couple who had announced their engagement, the majority of the crowd consisted of bigger groups. There were a group of drunken women on the dance floor and a group of elders wearing tiaras. Sitting behind Rob was a table with two miserable girls who had not spoken a single word.

It was a dinner cruise on a Thursday night. I was surprised at the amount of passengers. Each group came for different reasons. As a result, the dj chose songs from I Will Survive to YMCA to clubbing songs and other slower dancing songs.

The weather was comfortable, and we were able to see the NY skyline at another angle.
My favorite part of the cruise is the delicious creme brulee cheesecake. In the end, we also purchased a picture they had taken for us as a souvenir. Although the night has turned out perfectly, we seem to enjoy the view of the Rainbow Bridge in Odaiba more than the bridges and buildings in Manhattan.
