I highly recommend Empire Cruises! The staff was beyond fantastic to work with! From beginning to end… the office staff to the boat staff! I can’t rave about them enough! The entire experience was a smooth and pleasurable experience. No stress, all yeses, they worked with my party planner who when I asked they recommended and couldn’t have recommended a better person so definitely ask them for recommendations! Everything was wonderful!

My party aboard the Cosmo last weekend was fabulous! The crew could not have been more accommodating Ronald and his crew went out of their way to make sure that everything was perfect! Anita, our bartender was very attentive to the guests and gave special attention to the guest of honor. And the food was excellent!! I would highly recommend Empire Cruises for a party! It was a great time!
