Birthday celebration

Great crew and plenty of food choices. Entertainment was a bit loud to be able to hold a conversation with participants.

Mm average

Food is very below average. However, The concept is lovely!! For the money you spend it’s not worth it in my opinion.

Operator response

Oh dear, we are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the food on our dinner cruise; this is very unusual feedback. We do hope that you enjoyed the music, the views, and the service however.

It the best experience 😢

You don’t see a lot and where you are seated is key. We were by the engine and it was very noisy and vibrated furiously throughout-not a nice experience. Also we were very late being called to the buffet.

Operator response

We are so sorry to hear your feedback Dean; we will follow this up with our Crew to see if there is anyway that we can rectify these issues. We apaolgise for this!

Not Suitable For Solo Travellers

The food was lovely and so were all the staff. The singer was excellent. But very lonely experience for a solo traveller. I was expecting to be seated at a table with other people. But instead I was at a table entirely on my own.

Operator response

Oh dear, we are sorry to hear of your experience Jasmine. We seat our dinner cruise dining customers on their own tables, but we would certainly have tried to seat you with other customers had we known this was your preference. We will see if this is something we can organise for future cruises.

relaxing cruise with great food, music and crew.

Good vibes, looked after from the moment we stepped onboard. Big shout out to Nate on the bar, cheers buddy for a great night. Live music and food all good. Don’t panic on the buffet loads to go around and no need to put starters and main on one plate, chill and take your time.

Operator response

Fantastic feedback Mark, sounds like you had a great night out! We will also be sure to share your comments with Nate, who really is amazing on the bar.

The food was delicious...

The food was delicious and plentiful and staff were courteous however I felt as though the cruise was trying to be both a romantic dinner and a party cruise but not quite hitting either mark. We were seated near the music and buffet. The singer was great, but too loud for our liking as we were after a celebratory anniversary dinner. We had trouble seeing any sights as the windows were dark. It was better sitting on the upper deck for the views, although the speakers were far too loud and it was almost impossible to converse.

Operator response

Thank you for your honest feedback Michael. We are always looking at how we can improve and take this on board. Kindest regards, Paige - Captain Cook Cruises.

A bit disappointing

I thought the night cruise was a bit boring - 2.5 hours of night darkness with little areas outside to view. The signing entertainment only improve when the audience members decided to do some dancing, despite the food table taking most of the room. The singer needed to be more proactive to entertain and not just sign. The food was not served to your table like we experienced in the Melbourne night cruise plus the food was only average quality.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We are are sorry to hear that you found the cruise a little disappointing. We do advertise that the dinner is a buffet, but the entertainment is usually great. The singer tends to perform quieter songs while everyone is enjoying dinner, but then they get the crowd up dancing afterwards. Maybe we will get the opportunity to welcome you back with us another time! Kind regards, Kat from Captain Cook Cruises
