JP cruise. I cannot thank the Capt., his crew and staff enough for what was perhaps our families best party ever! From when I made the first call to a young lady named Sarah that handled the reservation to when we stepped off the ship it amazed me how much attention they gave us to insure our party would be memorable.

1st time on this cruise. The staff were very friendly and attentive to the guests. The boat was clean and nice. All the food was great and cooked well. I liked the buffet style. The drinks were made so well. SHOUT OUT THE BARTENDERS DOWNSTAIRS!!!! The music and Dj on the upper deck was great. Definitely, plan on returning soon before season ends.

We rented the entire boat for our Company Christmas Party and the Team at JP Cruise Line did not disappoint. Very accommodating to our needs. Every Team Member went above and beyond to make our party a night to remember for our Team and their families. The food was excellent and no one went away hungry. A meal selection for everyone’s taste. The Bar Staff always on top of it. And the DJ keeping the party alive spinning his tunes and accommodating all request. Let’s not forget the staff jump starting the dancing...so awesome. This will now be a Titan Tradition to celebrate Christmas and thanking

One of the Best Dinner cruises I've ever been on!! Captain Jim is one of the finest hosts anyone could ask for and his staff is as welcoming and as courteous as can be. I went out at night and the Hudson was so beautiful, the dinner was fantastic and the music was great! I had a wonderful time and had an experience I'll never forget!! I would recommend this dnner cruise to anyone!!! Thank you again Captain Jim for making the cruise more of a personal experience for me by inviting me up to the wheelhouse! An experience I'll take with me for a lifetime!! 😀🚤

I went with a local group of people for a Sun afternoon brunch cruise down and up the river. The ship allowed people onboard before the listed board time which I guess was good but people also started eating brunch before people arrived which made it difficult to eat together and left little to do once the food was done.
The brunch offerings were pretty good which 2 tables of food and drinks in a few locations. At the back of the boat on the bar were water and 2 types of juice. There was also coffee at the end of the hut buffet and in the back corner. Mimosas were also served. The food included

This was by far not worth the 40$ a ticket. I am disgusted that my family paid that much for this "cruise". We went on the lock cruise, and I can wholeheartedly say that this trip was a waste. To start with, where we were seated the ceiling was dripping. Every few minutes, a big drop of water would splash down onto the table, or us.
The food was gross. There were three options- roast beef, salad or ham. Sides included a plain roll, rice, and steamed veggies. The salad dressing tasted like it was sour, and the salad was a bowl of iceberg lettuce and stale croutons. Dessert was cheesecake

We just got home from a 3 hour wedding celebration on the Capt. JP II on the Hudson River. Everything about the cruise was excellent.
The ship was in beautiful, clean condition. It looked like it had recently been painted; there were no signs of wear and tear.
We had a delicious buffet. I assume the choices vary by the contract, but we had two meats, three vegetables, salad, and a desert table. I was recently on a paddlewheel cruise in NOLA and this food was ten times better and more plentiful.
My wife has a gluten problem and when the waitress asked her if she was going to the desert table

I came with a group that rented the entire middle and top floors. This presented as a great way to get us all together, with a DJ and unique experience. The staircase made for fun pictures, and there was ample dancing room. Our experience included dinner.
As soon as I got on board, I moved towards the water station for a drink, knowing it would be an alcohol fueled evening. The water tasted like paint. I took another sip, had a few more people try it, and threw it away. I told the bartender and she said "I'll let the captain know". I tried a water from behind the bar, hoping it was

Wow! Been reading over some of these reviews and can't believe the remarks people are leaving. I've been on several of the Friday Night Music cruises - with and without the dinner - (and am planning on attending a few more this summer) as well as a Mother's Day Brunch and have never had a problem with the food or service. I've always found the Capt JP staff courteous and helpful. I hope that those people with the bad reviews give the JP another try. We always have a good time; sorry you didn't,.

Bad food, bad service, very bad neighbors. Overpriced and extremely inconsiderate to both their patrons and the residents.

To the best of our knowledge you never actually rode the boat, but instead had an issue with the boat operating in downtown Troy near you. You chose to leave negative reviews, including posting a photo of a dumpster, and encouraged your friends to do the same. Our quality of service shows, despite false reviews.
My Response:
You may be thinking of someone else, given the plethora of complaints from your other neighbors. I am glad that

We had the pleasure of enjoying a retirement party for my wife's school on Saturday. I was a little hesitant going in because the thought of being trapped on the boat for three hours scared me!
The crew was friendly and the food was much better than I expected. It was essentially a floating banquet room and sometime prime rib can be pretty bad in these situations. Definitely not the case here. Mine was perfectly rare/raw - just the way I asked for it. The roasted potatoes were so hot I had to cut them and then wait to enjoy. The vegetable medley was cooked properly - something that is often
