Besides the hell that is going on in the metro, the citizens of new York, there’s a problem in the form of tourists on the ferries. Over the past few years the Staten Island ferries constantly behind schedule due to people who have spent a lot of time to go ashore. Especially with the Hurricane Deck, which has become a popular place among tourists. They love to take pictures there and a very long descend, and therefore delay the process of harvesting and the return of the ferry.
To remedy this, the Department of Transportation is going to close the upper levels of the decks of the Staten Island Ferry for a weekend in 4 weeks. At this time there is influx of tourists. According to Time Outif the action justifies itself, the deck will continue to close further.
So if you are in the Big Apple on vacation and want to find the best views of the Statue of Liberty, it is better to sign up for excursions, but do not expect to take pictures of her from the ferry.
