Carol,
A sincere thanks to you and the entire crew of Skyline Cruises. You really made my husband Nygil’s 50th Birthday a memorable one.
All of my guests were very impressed and had a wonderful time aboard the yacht. Brunch was fantastic as well as the hospitality of the crew. Carol, you are a very wonderful person to work with. You made everything seem so easy that at one point, I wondered if my party was going to come off, but with your assurance, I trusted you and it worked out perfectly! I am looking forward to doing this again. Many thanks and God Blessings.

Dearest Carol,
Words can’t express my appreciation for the wonderful job you & your staff did. From start to finish you were a pleasure to deal with. You made my daughters Bridal Shower something she will always treasure. Thank you Carol, I’m still getting phone calls 3 days later from my guests, complimenting the food, the service and not the mention the wonderful cruise experience! Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart.
Sincerely,
Pat Nappi

Dear Staff of the Skyline Princess,
We definitely made the right decision when we chose the Skyline Princess for our parents’ 50th anniversary party. Renewing their vows on the third level, with the sunset in the background, was breathtaking. The friendly, courteous and efficient staff, the abundant gourmet cuisine, the exquisite table settings and the ambiance of the city made their party truly exceptional! Thank you for all your help, suggestions and extras. You were so accommodating to our special needs and requests. Family and friends are still talking about the spectacular extravaganza.
Sincerely,
Denise Bracco

Dear Carol,
On behalf of New York City Parks & Recreation and the Administrator’s staff of Flushing Meadows Corona Park, I want to thank you tremendously for the gracious reception you provided us all last night. I got so many wonderful words from all that sailed with us and I told them the thanks should go to your and your staff. Everything from the food to the rain was greatly appreciated. I’m sure we will do many future events together. Once again, many thanks.
Sincerely,

Thanks again for an outstanding day.
The cruise was terrific and was just the right touch in helping us thank the 1010 WINS sales department. Your staff was very hospitable and accommodating and the food and DJ were excellent. Once again, thanks from all of us for a most enjoyable afternoon. I’m sure you’ll be seeing us again.
All the best,

I want to thank you and the whole staff of the Skyline Princess for making Holly and Brendan’s wedding (10/21/07) the most beautiful and memorable event that we could ever have hoped for! The service and attention to detail was exceptional and exceeded our expectations in every way. The staff was ever so polite, helpful, competent, knowledgeable and friendly. Thank them all for us. And thank you for your careful attention to all the details of the wedding planning. It was the perfect day!
Sincerely,

Susan Fitzgerald
Dear Pete Serro, Jeffery Haas, Samuel Fusco, Chef Rob and the entire crew of the Skyline Princess,
The members of the USCG Auxiliary from both the 5th Northern and 1st Southern Districts would like to thank you for the wonderful Veterans Day Brunch. Your staff was attentive to everyone’s needs and the food was fabulous as always. Your attention to detail and the extra effort put forth by your staff made this a memorable day for all.
Captain Jeffery Haas’s knowledge and narration of the history of the New York waterways was an extra special treat that was welcomed and unexpected.
Thank you does not fully express that gratitude that we would like to express to you. Skyline Cruise is a first class operation that deserves all the accolades it can garner.
Yours,
Susan Fitzgerald VFC 2 6
Janet Shechner
Dear Adriana,
On behalf of our entire family I would like to thank you for everything you did to help make our son, David and his new bride, Yasemin’s wedding day so perfect. Because of your efforts we had a perfect afternoon! How you managed to order such wonderful weather is beyond me – but you added that in too. We will certainly recommend you and your company to anyone who asks for a “different” place for a wedding or other party. It was over way to soon but everyone left happy.
Again, thank you for all that you did. I hope you enjoyed yourself on the 11th as much as we did.
Sincerely,
Janet Shechner

Buck,
I can sum up my classmates reaction to the cruise last Saturday night in one word – Fantastic!
Every person aboard said it was the highlight of a great weekend full of memorable events. Cruising around our old college grounds and then going down the East River and right up to the Statue of Liberty – took our breath away. The skipper, the crew, wait staff, bartenders, etc. were awesome! They couldn’t do enough for us. All together they made it a night to remember. You can rest assured that we will pass the word to our follow classes that Skyline Cruises is the way to go.
A special thanks from myself and my two other reunion planners,
Gerry H.
Stephen and Fiona G.
Dear Captain Arnold,
We’d both like to thank you for the beautiful wedding ceremony you performed for us aboard the Skyline Princess. The wedding experience was everything you promised us it would be. Many of our guests have said it was the best wedding they had ever been to, they were also very impressed by your magic tricks after dinner, which was also excellent.
We’d like to thank you for taking care of all the arrangements and ensuring the evening ran smoothly. When we first spoke on the phone you said all we had to do was turn up with our marriage license, you’d organise everything else, and you were true to your word.
Thanks once again,
Stephen and Fiona G.

Buck,
We had a great time and once again Elvin and the staff did an outstanding job. The waiters were amazing! They were attentive and went above and beyond. They let us borrow their cup cake display stand (huge life saver) and offered to take pics.
The food was just as good as I remembered it to be.
Thanks,
Mimi T

Hi Simone,
You’re welcome – we had a FABULOUS DAY…the staff, Elvin, Lisa and wait staff were extremely attentive, pleasant and huge assistance with getting my father up/down to 3rd deck. Everyone commented what a great idea for a party (on a boat), so maybe you’ll get more folks heading your way. Thank you again for your patience, expertise, and assistance.
Love,
Lorana & Laura

Dear Christina,
I was very very pleased with our cruise. It was a surprise 50th birthday party for my husband. The food was very good, and the service was amazing. The staff was very attentive to all tables, and they were very courteous and professional! We were boarded on time and the 4 hours of cruise was plenty of time. There was plenty of dancing and fun on the upper deck, for whomever was on the ship. And I must admit, I was slightly concerned how that would work out for us, considering we were eating on the second deck, but it was perfect, we ate, then went upstairs to dance. I would highly recommend this cruise company to anyone! Every one of my guests called me the next day to express their feelings and not one of them had a bad thing to say, and there were 45 of us! GREAT JOB SKYLINE CRUISE!!!
Sincerely,
Donna K.

Buck,
We had my son’s Bar Mitzvah on the Skyline Princess – leaving from Flushing, NY and we couldn’t be happier! The staff from the planning stages until the last guest left were friendly and professional. They helped out above and beyond – and gave us great suggestions based on their experience… The food was great – and the boat was everything we could have hoped for! The DJ told us we didn’t have to buy favors for the kids, because the “boat is enough” and he was right! We loved it & can’t wait to come back!

Buck Tanzi,
I would like to give you and your staff a “Job Well Done.”
I, on behalf of my organization with your patience and understanding planned and executed an outstanding event for 150 plus guest. It was truly inspiring. The staff was courteous and diligent in the way they represented themselves and the organization. They served, entertained and treated our guest with true energy unmatched in any arena. It was a true “Dining” experience. The ambiance and atmosphere was inviting and pleasant. I was truly impressed by the attentiveness of the front line staff to the Dining/Cruising needs of the guests. On a number of occasions I was able to observe staff extending exemplary customer service with a smile. The white glove treatment was noticed and appreciated. The Bartenders were professional and dynamic in keeping the guest engaged and refreshed. The Maitre D staff of Elvin and Lisa were remarkably superb. They were not only ensuring the evening was a success but also encouraging and supporting me in the process. The evening then became an extravaganza with the skills of D.J. Bobby from Party Perfect NYC; DYNOMITE. They forgot that they were on a cruise! The event was a dream for me made a reality by you and your support staff. A success I am proud to have experienced. Thank you. I would recommend you and your organization “Skyline Princess” to anyone looking for the best in Dining and Cruising.
Respectfully,
Geddes Scott,
