My wife's birthday dinner cruise
I booked this dinner cruise for my wife's birthday. It was a good experience overall. The food was good and our server was really good. She was very attentive and had good suggestions on what to order from our premier menu choices. Overall, I would book this experience again.

Fun experience
They provide clear instructions on where to meet. When you board the boat, you get served your meal right away. The food is okay. My cruise had live music, one person playing the piano and one person singing. After the meal, you are free to roam around the boat, and you can go to the top level open air deck for incredible views.

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.
