Just booked the NYC Tall Ships cruise for my friend's birthday!

I'm super excited to take my friend on the Tall Ships cruise for her birthday next month! I've heard it's really cool to see the ships up close while learning about the city's maritime history. We're catching the 5 PM cruise, so hopefully we'll get some nice sunset views too. Anyone have tips on what to wear or bring?

Anyone been on the NYC Tall Ships cruise lately?

I’m considering this for a gift and wanna see how it really is! I love the idea of sailing around the harbor and learning about the tall ships. Is it really as fun as it sounds? What were your favorite parts?
