Circle Line Oktoberfest fall foliage cruise to Bear Mountain

 

  1. We went on October 2, 2021
  2. We got premier seating which allowed us to jump the line while boarding and the seats, on the top level of 3 levels, were more comfortable. However, because we ended up watching the band most of the time, we didn't use our premier seating all that much. It might still be worth it, though, because the bathroom on that level had shorter lines. With everyone drinking, the lines were long at the bathroom.
  3. The band plays on the midlevel.
  4. This trip was from 9 am to about 5 pm. They drop us at Bear Mountain for about 2 and a half hours for hiking or whatever. I have plenty of pictures
  5. Once again, just like a few years ago, the platform for embarking and disembarking was flooded. We managed, but it was hard for some people.
  6. The band was fantastic. They're called Street Beat Brass
  7. This year, the Bear Mountain Inn was closed because pandemic. We got enough to eat on the boat. Chicken bratwurst, sauerkraut, cabbage, potatoes, and they also had regular ferry food such as pizza and some wraps. The emphasis was on the beer, but they had wine and whiskey too.
  8. I was wearing my Moynihan jacket which is my warm fall jacket, but could have used a winter jacket, even downstairs indoors. It didn't seem heated.
