Nice experience, though not a cruise, it is a ferry only.
Beware of the scam ticket agents. They will push you hard & the police just sits inside their cars & vans parked there, allowing the scamsters to prove that the police are aware of them & approves the same. Police should take immediate action on these ticketing agents as it is clearly written on the board that these guys aren't authorized. They were trying to block me from entering the park saying that we need to be authorized to enter & it is not a free entry, which is false & they're able to do it only because of the inaction of the policemen sitting inside the van.
Go ahead straight to the 'brick building' as they say & do not fall prey to these scammers.
Tickets & audio tour costs USD 18.50 & takes you to both Ellis Island & Statue of Liberty.
Expect a nice view & a smooth ride. Ferries run every 20mins from each point.
Last ferry from Battery Park is at 3.30pm. Last Return ferry from Statue is at 5.15pm.
