It was incredibly to know where to meet and queue up to. For the future, it should be clear with photos and information on what gate to wait at. We almost missed the boat because of being wrongly directed another way!

I bought a ticket online, which was an easy process. Love the boat trip itself, very relaxing. They gave us also enough time to photograph the Statue closer by.
