It was really fun and classy! Received it as a gift, so I'm not sure about the cost, but my wife and I really enjoyed it!

It was a good time, but a little confusing since it was called a "champagne brunch" and no one was served champagne upon boarding or received any champagne complimentary (until we asked at the end and the server was kind enough to bring us some). The cocktail, wine and beer, as one would guess were pretty outrageous ($18 for a standard bloody mary), but the food was decent and overall we had a nice time sitting on the observation deck for most of the cruise.

Response from Virgin Gifts

Hi there Shaina, Thanks so much sharing! Guests should certainly receive a glass of champagne when boarding. We understand that the crew may have been filling glasses or assisting other guests, and weren't able to provide the champagne upon boarding. Of course, $18.00 is a steep price, even for New York City! There are however, other drink options including wine and beer, for around $6-10. We do understand that expectations were not met, and are truly so sorry. We are so happy that despite the champagne delay, you were able to take in the city's breathtaking views, enjoy tasty food, and had a good time overall! We have gone ahead and placed a value of $30.00 into your account for future use. Looking forward to getting you out on the water again soon! Very Best, Sophia
