I've never been on the circle line. I remember when I was a kid their commercials were on tv all the time.
It's a great ride, Coleus! It costs about $20 and takes about three hours. The spectacular part of the ride is the first 45 minutes or so, as it goes down the Hudson, passes by Lady Liberty, and goes around the Battery. Best time to go is on a lazy summer day, midday. Bring your own cooler, put on the sunblock and shades, kick back and enjoy : )
Another treat, albeit much pricier, is the evening dinner and dance cruise on the World Yacht. Good for special occasions. Doesn't go around the whole island, but makes up for it by hovering very close to Lady Liberty after dinner on the way back. Be sure to make "Admiral" reservations, and get there early for a window table. Out of this world!

I took it years ago, it was great fun. I also too the day line up to west point and back, but that was a wee bit long for the wee child I was at that time.
You should take the time to go, it's great. Years ago when we lived in Queens we took my husband's parents and we have great shots of the WTC from the water.
I was on it when i was like 4 or 5 years old. I remember I threw up, lol.
It is the best ride. I will never forget it. It was beautiful, relaxing and a ride I will always cherish and remember.
