I did so from a Times Square pay phone.
Even if you don't watch the big ball drop in New York's Times Square on December 31, you can still have a great party on this festive night.
The cruise ship terminal is located in downtown Manhattan on the Hudson River, several blocks west of Times Square.
This is a plus for individuals traveling from other parts of the world as it provides the opportunity to enjoy local attractions such as the Statue of Liberty, Times Square or Central Park in addition to a cruise vacation.
The party cruise provides views of the Times Square ball drop on one of 10 flat-screen televisions.
