Enjoyable dinner cruise in the Harbor!

This was a great activity to plan for our first evening in Sydney! The meeting place was easy to get to, instructions were clear and timing was perfect. We paid extra for guaranteed window seating which provided us with a wonderful view. Service was impeccable and our meal delicious! Only thing that might have helped with the ambiance would have been some live piano music. The piped-in music was ‘meh.’ Would have taken the experience to another level.

Views were great.

The boat was nicely maintained and the crew was wonderful. The views were amazing and Sydney is beautiful to say the least. The dinner was average, but the dark chocolate dessert was amazing. You do this for the views not the food.

Look at other cruises options

Do. Not order the fish. It was fishy smell and taste. We got the window seat and it was right be the door going outside and it was cold out , they should not have sat anyone in that’s seat with the cooler weather. Also there was no sunset, it was dark already.

Called sunset dinner...

Called sunset dinner cruise- sunset well and truely gone by the time we were on board. Need to rename. Not a great deal of meal Choice, particularly if you don't eat salmon or chickpeas and went to maccas afterward as the portions were very small.

Lack of direction ruined our dsy

Me missed our dinner experience by boarding the wrong ferry. Three boats all lined up looking the same. No one to direct us. We are in our 70s and as my wife was very upset and tired we could not go on later cruise. We were Refused a refund. Visiting from NZ and experience cast a shadow on our trip. I think a big company like your could do better.

Overall lovely experience

The harbor tour was a great way to wind down a busy day and the views of the skyline lit up were priceless. The ship was very clean and the neat and the staff was attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and well portioned but the drinks were quite pricey. $6 for a glass of Pepsi was a bit much.

Great cruise, food so so

If you're a picky eater you will not have a lot of good food choose. Selection is not good. Watch where you get off. We didn't know better and even though it was only 1.30 hr verses 2 hr pulled into pier and assumed we needed to get off. End up we were at another wharf and we walked back to hotel 1 hr later.
