About the party
BallDrop.com presents a New Year's Eve party cruise aboard the Lucille, an 80-foot yacht boarding at Skyport Marina on the FDR Drive in Manhattan, on Thursday, December 31. Boarding starts at 8 PM and the boat returns at 1 AM, with the fireworks and the Statue of Liberty on the route.
What to expect
Two indoor decks with outdoor access, a bar on each level and a large dance floor. The package includes a three-hour open bar, early light fare and a buffet, party favors and a champagne toast at the midnight countdown. My take: this is for people who want a dance-floor boat party with a mainstream mix rather than a sit-down cruise.
Music and lineup
A live DJ plays Top 40, hip hop, house and mashups, per the listing. No DJ is named, and set times are not published.
Before you go
Boarding is at 8 PM and the boat returns at 1 AM. The listing gives two departure times, 9 PM in the itinerary and 10 PM sharp in its note, so plan to be there by boarding. The listing says all ages. The boat boards at Skyport Marina, 2430 FDR Drive, and Eventbrite says parking is not available. The listing says the cruise goes ahead in any weather, that the route can change at the direction of the Coast Guard or local authorities, and that the fireworks are up to the city and the weather. Coat check and accessibility are not stated.
- Refunds (BallDrop.com)
- The listing's FAQ says no refunds under any circumstance unless the event is cancelled.
