I frequent the JP and am shocked to see some of these reviews. The food is always fantastic, and the staff are attentive and friendly. I've always enjoyed the cruises, especially the music cruises, and have brought friends along and none have been disappointed. I absolutely recommend the JP for a night out, and would be surprised if you didn't have a great time. I moved to the downtown area for the nightlife, and live on the waterfront as well and have realized those writing the negative reviews have done nothing but hassle the owner of the JP and continue to do so for no reason. Regardless, if you're looking for an enjoyable night out or a change of pace, I highly recommend giving the JP a try, this local business gives you an incredible opportunity to enjoy live entertainment and great service while taking in the scenic views from the Hudson; it's a definite must for anyone...
   Read moresome might say that my expectations for capt. j.p.'s cuisine were too high. but when getting on a boat behind a construction site, i think it's pretty fair to expect to be "wowed". i won't bore you with descriptions of giant rib roasts of beef, painstakingly relieved of all their natural juices, or even the bowl of vinegar and oil soup with pickled lettuce and white tomatoes (a delicacy i had never had before) in lieu of a traditional salad course. but i will bore you with how much i enjoyed the carrot cake. not so much a cake, as a very cold, flour and cream cheese torte with nary the hint of carrot. call me a traditionalist, but i have never thought that carrots belonged in a dessert. i much prefer tons of margarine and corn syrup, thankfully they were able to see to that via their plate...
   Read more2nd time cruising with them. The 1st time for a Mother's Day, they ran out of food only an hour in. No music, or anyone narrating the cruise. Just a boring ride on the water, with a piece of toast and one strip of bacon to eat. I waited two years and booked the R&B/Motown cruise this past Friday. DJ on the motown level was dope. I have no idea how the DJ on the upper level was. I had to remain downstairs. There was so much weed and cigarette smoke. I wasn't sure if I would get cancer or a contact high and fall off of the boat! They did check bags at the front. I couldn't keep my 5 ounce bottle of water, apparently that isn't allowed. But lots of drugs are ok! NEVER, EVER would I go back again. Or recommend this company. I had a blast on Dutch Apple Cruises. I'll...
