We were very well looked after, we enjoyed our meal and the whole experience

On reaching the vessel, the ushers led us to a small table hardly enough to fit two adults, let alone with a three year old.
Later, another staff took us to larger table, thanks to her.
While other patrons were having the main course we had to call the attention of the crew for them to take our order. The whole experience was like having to wait for everyone before we are served. Food was good other wise my rating would be two star

We were extremely disappointed with the incompetent administration staff at the Captain Cook Pier 26 office. We missed our boat because the woman told us to wait at King St Wharf no 8. She drew the location on a map, but failed to give us the map. We waited 45 minutes at the wrong wharf and missed our boat, then had to walk to Circular quay. When phoning the office for options, they were also very unsympathetic and offered very little service except 'you'd better walk fast' .
We were a party of ten - including two seniors over 60, a heavily (9 months) pregnant young lady and a woman with a broken foot in a cam-boot, and two children. The walk was 1.5 kms and we only had 15 minutes until the boat left.

Everything was perfect

Service: Service is always excellent which makes the whole experience very enjoyable
Product: Excellent food and friendly service

Product: We had a superb experience Lovely food.

Service: It was magic - Service was excellent and food was tops
Product: The personal service and food was fantastic

The service throughout the cruise was very good. As soon as we were seated, the wait-staff were already chasing gluten-free options for me. Everyone was welcoming and attentive.

Service: Wonderful trip showcasing one if the worlds great harbours. 4 Hours including a 3 course meal of impecable quality. The Sydney Opera House and Bridge were best seen in this relaxed mode. Our American guest in her late 70's totally enjoyed it.
Product: It enabled us to relax and enjoy the scenery

Service: The lunch cruise was great from the moment we stepped onto the boat. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Having our 'own' table waitress made us feel more comfortable and more important.
Product: The price is very good for all the service and the time we spent on the boat. The food was delicious. A little disappointed that tea and coffee aren't included in the price even if that means raising the price a little.

We did the 3 hour Long Lunch to celebrate a Wedding Anniversary.
The food was very nice and well presented.
Staff were very professional, and gave us a special treat for our Anniversary.

Wonderful service from the moment we checked in. Our 3 course long lunch was excellent and I was so pleased that my American guests enjoyed our gorgeous harbour so much. Will certainly recommend this cruise to anyone

Service: Service was great, friendly staff, loved the food.
Highly recommend..
Product: Highly recommend

Very enjoyable trip and meal, the staff was great!

Service: Service before and during the Long Lunch Cruise was amazing. My work team unfortunately had to cancel our Xmas Lunch Cruise at the last minute in December 2019 (out of our control) and the service team understood and although the cost was not refundable, they provided a credit for a future cruise which we took in February when we were all back from leave. Re booking was no problem and the food and service onboard was fantastic.
Product: Amazing food and food choice. Very filling and tasted fantastic! Wine choice was also great and the option to get off earlier suited some of our work team and for those who didn't have to rush back to the office, we enjoyed the 4.5hours cruising around the harbour. Only fault was the coffee wasn't great.

Service: The booking was easy to make online. Easy pickup of tickets at the wharf. The waitstaff were courteous and efficient and the food was excellent. I did find the commentary hard to hear at times, however I don't know how this could be fixed without it being too loud.
Product: Excellent food and service.

Service: From the booking agent to the waiters the service was excellent
they were friendly and polite
Product: As this was a special lunch celebrating our wedding anniversary I would of like to have white table cloth on the tables...to look a bit more formal.

Service: service, booking, food and crew were all excellent
Product: I could not break down the drinks package to include 3 premium and one standard, not sure if this is an option but for the difference in price it didn't matter, easy to do online booking other than that, thankyou

Service: Good environment, good food and nice service. Only that staff need more attention in customers caring.
Product: Staff are helpful and nice.

Service: Would never go again terrible
Product: I hated the heat no air conditioning

Service: Overall as good as our past experiences. Idling at piers fills ship with diesel fumes which is unfortunate when you are enjoying dining.
Product: Good food and good service.

Service: The service was very good and staff were friendly
Product: The tiger prawn entrée was only made of 2 medium prawns and every person who order this was disappointed by this amount as it was not sufficient for an entrée, a few more would have made a difference in the rating

Service: it was great food/service/view
Product: great value of money

great customer service. good food.

Service: Excellent food, plenty of time to eat, chat and go up deck to take in the views. Would certainly do it again, especially with international guests.
Product: Great food, very tasty and just the right portion sizes.

The cruise itself was great, and we took the long lunchtime cruise so went up on top for the second run around the harbour - this was quite entertaining and we enjoyed the narration that plays.

The lunch itself though was quite ordinary. The meat was dry, the food fairly tasteless, just not particularly enjoyable.

Service: Outstanding service, great food, nice wines, one of the best ways to spend a long lunch is to take a Captain Cook Long Lunch cruise on Sydney Harbour. The staff were happy, friendly and attentive, and they made our experience top notch.
Product: Good value for money, combining good food, great attentive service and outstanding comfort.

Service: I have been on the top deck cruise before and found our meals were not quite up to previous standards
Product: As above

Service: My son and I enjoyed our lunchtime cruise on Sydney Harbour immensely. Our waitress, Enid, was lovely. She was polite, friendly and efficient and made sure all our needs were taken care of.

We had booked a window table, however our table was next to a large and very loud group booking. We asked to be moved and Enid arranged it quickly, with no fuss. She relocated us to another window table away from the group. The rest of our cruise was delightful.

The menu was small, however it had something for everyone. My son enjoyed the ravioli for entree, a perfectly cooked eye fillet for main and a 'stone' coconut concoction for desert which he said was delicious! I ordered the king prawn entree, the eggplant vegetarian dish for main and the chocolate caramel for desert. All were mouth-watering delicious.

We will definitely do this cruise again.
Product: Excellent food, excellent service, excellent views. A perfect way to spend the day on Sydney Harbour.

Service: The long lunch cruise was very enjoyable, meal was more than satisfactory although on the small size. My major disappointment was for the second half on the cruise there was practically no waiter service as all were too busy setting up for the dinner cruise. Trying to get a drink was an effort and we had prepaid for drinks.
Product: Think that the lack of waiter service spoilt what was a a very enjoyable cruise.

Service: Very good memories of a trip on the ship "Captain Cook".
Great lunch, polite staff, sunny and warm weather!
What more to wish!
Thanks for all.
Product: Buying lunch on your boat was very successful. We were fed an excellent dinner, we saw and photographed the sights of Sydney.

The service was great but the food wasn’t as good as I had hoped. The drinks were quite expensive and I think it‘a a shame that there’s no kids menu.

Unfortunately the day we had booked was very smoky but I think captain cook made an excellent day. We got to see all the tourist attractions very close and the staff was amazing. We got a beautiful window seat for 6 people, and we didn't pay extra for that. Big plus. I really recommend to book long lunch, and 3 course. The food was perfect, and also you will have more time to see things. :)

Nice harbour cruise with a good lunch menu

Well run. Food good for this type of service. Staff well trained/friendly.

Service: We have dined on the Sydney 2000 several times for both Lunch and Dinner and the quality and service has been absolutely world class always from the booking thru to the welcome aboard, the table wait staff, the menu choice a d presentation all tops!
Product: Good value

Service: Outstanding food. Exceptional service. Thoroughly wonderful lunch.Three and a half hours of enjoyment.
Product: It was an outstanding experience - from start to finish.

Meal and service was fantastic would defiantly recommend.

Service: The booking was done quickly and well. The Crew were very respectful and kept us informed. They looked for our well-being with getting on and off the vessel - saw us to our assigned places, made friendly comments and hoped that we would have a pleasant time on the Harbour.
Our table occupants next to us were very friendly and we found out that we had some connections with family previously unaware of. They found out that we were Religious Sisters celebrating our 65th Anniversary of becoming Sisters, and bought us our wine as a friendly gesture. One of the Staff (Laura) who was attending to us, noticed what was happening, and enquired the reason for our celebrating. At the end of our meal she brought us a beautiful ice-cold flute of champagne with a fizzing sparkler, and that was the most beautiful gesture we could imagine.
Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy the Harbour with your Captain Cook Cruises, and thank you to all the Crew who made the afternoon a time to remember.
Product: The food was delicious and beautifully set out. A sight for the eyes and the senses!

The food was delicious. It was a great experience to take my mum on who was visiting from the UK. The only recommendation I would make is some entertaining for those who have booked the long lunch.

Service: Have done this cruise twice last year and this year. The food and the service is fantastic. I took a friend with me this year a first time experience which exceeded her expectations. The long lunch three course cruise is the best way to experience the bay and relax. Would recommend to anyone visiting Sydney.
Product: It was an easy transaction.

Overall it was good, not great. Service was initially very slow-we ordered the drinks package and we were seated for 45 mins and had our entree before a glass of wine arrived. Service speed did improve after this. Food was good although not amazing-the fish was a little dry. Beautiful views of the harbour and a nice way to see it on a very hot day -I had visitors from Canada who loved being able to see our beautiful harbour in the comfort of air conditioning.

I live in the East Sydney and enjoy it’s harbour. My London friend wanted a boat experience w lunch. I chose a high end experience and was not disappointed. Service n staff very friendly. I say this even tho there was a mix up w my window seating. Yet problem solved w ease. Food was really Cook n my steak cooked to perfection. And the scenic views of our harbour is a delight.
Thank you and I will take all visitors on this cruise.

Service: Wonderful lunch cruise with our friends from the central coast spending a day on the harbour. Staff were very accommodating and courteous.
Product: Easy to purchase on the website

A most enjoyable cruise on New Year's Day.
Food was excellent and the service great.
Definitely recommend. We will be back.

Service: All staff were very polite. Our waitress Bibi was very attentive.
Product: We had guests from Chicago and quite frankly were embarrassed with the meal. Firstly, it wasn't the long leisurely lunch we thought it would be. Everything came out so fast and we were through the meal before we knew it. Three out of four of us ordered the barramundi and it was so dry. The fourth guest didn't eat much of her meal. I would have preferred to have fresh fruit than the desserts offered. For paying close to $100 per head I would have expected a better standard of food.

Fantastic food and service!

Service: We boarded at Darling Harbour at midday and by 1.20 p.m. we had only had our entree and one drink, the waitress was extremely busy and did not have time to return to our table for orders. Our booking was for 6 with long lunch and premium drinks package. Every year we have friends from Germany and Melbourne who come to Sydney for a lunch harbour cruise with us. Normally we book with Majestic, but this year we felt that your cruise offer was superior, unfortunately this was not the case, as we were disappointed with the delay in service. We had to follow up on our main meals as other tables had received and finished their mains and we had not been served.
Product: Service of 3 course meal was very slow.

good

Service: Very good
Product: Service and food excellent

Service: The on board service and on time departure
Product: Worth for the money

Service: two prawns, a small piece of fish, isn't really an entrée and main meal. Service was slow, in direct contrast to what we experienced last year on the xmas day cruise(hard to believe its the same company). Positive, was the young Chinese man Tomotero? who held the boat to wait for a couple of our stragglers, and then organised for a late arrival to join us at Circular Quay, he was very good.
Product: not enough to eat, no potato, chips, rice or pasta

Service: everything was fantastic great way to spend our anniversary thankyou.. would recomend to our friends
Product: food was fantastic and wait service

The service was really professional. Food was deliciously awesome. I would use Captain Cook whenever I get a chance.

To be honest we were a little disappointed. The food was great but there were issues with the service.

Our waiter had no idea what was going on. He gave us the wrong drinks menu and did t even know how long the cruise was for. He was slow and looked flustered.

Then we got held up getting back to Circular Quay due to a cruise ship leaving. While I appreciate it wasn’t the crew’s fault they didn’t provide us with information couldn’t tell is when we were getting in and wouldn’t let anyone even get a drink from the bar. The hold up was in the end close to an hour.

Also with the one boat trying to accommodate several different cruise options it didn’t feel personal we just kind of felt hearses through.

We have been on several cruises on the harbour in Sydney and other harbours around the world and this was left me a bit wanting.

Service: Have been on the Long Lunch cruise many times, it’s that good! The food is lovely, and we love that it’s not a buffet, and the service is excellent also. A very pleasant and relaxing afternoon.
Product: Great lunch with excellent views and we love that it’s not a buffet lunch. Have been on this cruise many times and we will be back.

Service: Yes recommend them to anyone who asks. Very friendly and kept an eye on us in case we needed anything
Product: Delicious all of it very happy with the food and service

Very good all round

Service: The staff and crew were very accommodating
Product: Wonderful food and choices

Service: Great service and it was a great day. Thank you
Product: Everything was great, thanks

Service: On the whole the service was very good except for one important request for my elderly parents to be near the bathroom and preferably have no stairs. They were on the second floor the furthest table from the entrance and bathroom with 2 flights of stairs. Mum didn't fall and break anything and they had a lovely lunch but it could have been disastrous as she's 80 with shocking balance and osteoporosis.
Product: the food, views and tour was lovely, my parents had a great day on the harbour

Service: Abit average. Waiter was hardly around or available. Service was below average. Meal was average. Overall i was disappointed this time and this is our third xmas cruise lunch with group
Product: Price is reasonable if it matched the service. Otherwise our group had a hood timr with our company.

Service: Great overall service from all team members. Could not fault them whatsoever. I organised a 3 course lunch cruise for my work Christmas party. Great quality and friendly service. The food was very tasty and promptly served. The cruise itself was the perfect amount of time to enjoy all 3 courses and enjoy some sight seeing. I would definitely recommend.
Product: The 3 course long lunch was delicious. The boat was also very nice. The cruise itself was the perfect amount of time to allow us with time to enjoy the meal and spend some time on the deck enjoying the views. Overall, a very well organised and managed cruise.

Service: The service was very good, the staff who looked after us were polite and friendly.
Product: The food was very nice however the portion size was small for my group. My group can be described as hungry, thirsty men.

Service: Food was amazing! service a little slow towards the end. a person was left on-board after our Christmas party as they were in the toilets when we docked. Perhaps announcements on docking and leaving should be considered. We were docked for a long time in the middle of our cruise, again an announcement would have been appreciated. However, overall it was great!

Service: Service was great however one of our tables did not get the same service as the other 4
Product: The food was excellent, everyone's meal was fabulous. Chicken tender and the beef was delicious.

Amazing!!

Service: Service was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble for staff. We had a very enjoyable lunch
Product: Good value for very good food. Drinks a little expensive

Service: Great cruise with plenty of room for everyone. Wonderful staff and service and the food was fantastic.
Product: Great selection of refreshments and food

Service: Enjoyable cruise. Nice cruise boat. Friendly and helpful staff.
Product: We enjoyed the cruise but were disappointed that there was no commentary at all in the dining room. No welcome aboard, no explanation of what was happening, and no indication of points of interest.

Very good waiter service. The wine was very expensive $50 a bottle!!! WHY

Service: Excellent service and value for money.
Product: Excellent value for money and great food

Service: pretty good service and food
Product: Not bad value for money

Service: Our team were rather impressed with the ship and the service.
The 3 course luncheon was great & the drinks were nice.
When cruising the harbour, we thought the cruise was over when the ship pulled up to the wharf, after a couple of minutes. The boat took off again. Would have been nice to know that the ship was pulling up a couple of times, so I could let staff aware if they wanted to leave early they could. Besides that we all had an amazing time.
Product: The payment side of things was really easy. We paid in two installments(deposit & final payment) via credit card, there is an additional charge but it was a rather easy process.

Service: .
Product: .

Service: Bigger meals and free coffee and tea
Product: Could be bigger meals, should have free coffee and tea available

Service: 1. The quality of the food has declined in the last 12 months. Also, smaller portions and not served piping hot.
2. We paid for a premium bar package, but it was not much different to a standard package.
Product: See above................

Service: Could do boarding arrangements better. Separate lines for each deck
Product: Good food and service

Service: Excellent service. Absolutely no complaints. Would thoroughly recommend Captain Cook Cruises.
Product: Thoroughly enjoyed a number of Long Lunches we've been on. Will continue to do so while ever the standard remains as it is.

Service: Excellent cruise, great food, fabulous wait staff
Product: bit late getting onboard, but everything else was perfect

Service: AAA service food was excellent
Product: I was given a voucher for a birthday present

Service was great. Very professional and pleasant.. The cruise was a nice circuit to follow offering some iconic picture opportunities and facts along the way. Note, I could only hear the audio narrative when upstairs and outside. I think there should be screens inside with the audio and subtitles running.

Service: My whole group all had an excellent day. The food was great the service brilliant and tour
around the harbour could not have been any better - perfect !
Product: The staff especially Blaire were very helpful at all calls, even on Sunday morning

Service: The service was great. We had the best time for our work xmas party lunch and having our own waitress was brilliant.
Product: The selection of dishes on the menu was great and catered well for all dietary requirements.

Service: Thoroughly enjoyed the lunch cruise. Would recommend to anyone. Food was good. The wait staff very friendly. The only small negative was asking for some drinks a couple of times and they seem to have forgotten. In the end we got drinks so nothing too bad. Also, didn't realise the ship berthed twice at both docks. Was about to get off at Circular Quay the first time and then the ship left again. So nice to stay on but an announcement might have been good to let us know it was a choice to get off or not.
Product: Value for money.

Service: We have used Captain Cook many times with the same vessel and the same package. The quality of service and food seems to improve each year.
Product: Sometimes a cruise similar to this people are served up very ordinary food. This is not the case with Captain Cook. The food is of very high quality and the wine is from a very well respected vineyard in the Hunter Valley.
No skimping on cheap food by Captain Cook

The service was exceptional

Service: Such a wonderful way to spend a cruising day on the harbour , clean and comfortable. The staff do a wonderful job.
Product: The food choices were great as we all have different tastes , the selection of wines and beers were wonderful.

We just loved our long lunch and were blown away by the great service and food. On a return trip we would definitely do this again.

Service: We had a great time on the cruise. Food was good and service was friendly.

Only negative was the delay from ordering a drink to receiving it. One order did not make it to the bar staff. I did have to go to the bar twice to order or receive the drinks myself.
Product: Overall happy with the long lunch.

Service: I had the most wonderful three course luncheon on the Captain Cook's Sydney Harbour. The service was friendly and considerate and the table settings immaculate.
The view was fabulous and the speed and direction of the cruise very suitable for sightseeing and photography. The food was five star. I'd do it again and recommend it highly.
Product: Fabulous food and presentation, timed well and generous portions.

The lunch and service was good.
We didn't enjoy the fact that we spent a lot of time (around 40%) in the docks rather than actually cruising in the harbour.

Service: Great food, great service, excellent views, lovely atmosphere. Definitely recommend the 3 course long lunch
Product: Great service, food, atmosphere, and amazing views

Service: Good food and service, except for desserts which were a bit disappointing (not very tasty and looked like it might have been random mass produced frozen desserts). Overall a great experience with great views, but still on the expensive side. I would recommend for tourists but maybe not for Sydneysiders who are already familiar with harbour views and sights.

Service: We had a very good experience food, service and tour. The 4 star rating is that there always room for improvement. E.G We were seated at a window seat however felt closed in because of the couple sitting right next to us. Otherwise a good experience
Product: The entrée was not what we expected. Just the 2 x Prawns. The Barra for mains was good as to the dessert.

Service: Very ordinary food - steak asked for rare instead fairly well-done
$50 for a bottle of very ordinary wine is a bit over the top
For 3 1/2 cruise a lot of the time spent going in and out of wharf
Product: See previous comment - not saying any more won't recommend to others

Service: Food was amazing. drinks package was limited in what you could get for standard drinks and two of my group, ended up buying wine, because there was no choice of wine to their liking.
Product: The food was great, came out hot, tasty and we all loved the various meal choices. there were eight in our group.

We had a German girl looking after our table ( Anne ). Had a good time, would definitely recommend.

Service: Service was rushed, missed one drink order
Product: Main and dessert was nice but entree was tasteless.

Good service and meal selections, but the servings size was a bit small for me

Service: Both food and drink service was great. Food was delicious!!
Product: ruise was beautiful.

Service: We had a guest with us who could only eat pureed food. Your staff did this and he was thrilled that he could eat the same as us. The food, service and cruise were all excellent and I have already recommended your company to friends.
Product: Excellent value for money. Will be doing this again

Service: The food was delicious and the scenery on the first half of the cruise was spectacular. We did not realize that the "long lunch" was a repeat of the first half. Also, the service was unbelievably slow. We had gotten the premium liquor package but it took us a half hour to get our first drink. If would have been preferable to do a different route on the second half, and if the server is being trained, have him/her shadow someone for at least a week or assign them initially to people who do not pay for premium liquor and window seats
Product: The purchase was quite easy. It would have been better to make it clear that you need to exchange your reservation confirmation for actual tickets and exactly where the transaction should be done, but everyone was so customer focused!

Service: Being six in our party, we were made so welcome and placed in full view of your glorious harbour. Our waiter was delightful and efficient as was the wine waiter. We didn,t want our cruise to end, but have been left with many happy memories of our Captain Cook Cruise.We are back in N. Z. but the photographs have widely displayed.
Product: We are not big eaters, but your food presentation was excellent and appetizing. The relatively short time from gathering the menu details until the food arrived was either very short or we were talking too much! Being with a friend with whom I grew up in England, was very special as we emigrated 60 years ago, with one going to Sydney eventually and the other to N.Z.

Service: Everything the staff and food and perfect weather made the day very enjoyable I have booked for 27/11/2019 for lunch cruise for 16 people to celebrate a 80th birthday
Product: Good value and the launch was very impressive and also the staff

Service: Great food, great customer service, wonderful scenic cruise of Sydney harbour.
Product: Great food and customer service, and of course, a great scenic cruise around Sydney harbour.

Lovely crew. Great experience from booking to disembarkation. Delicious food. We had a group of four friend and we all agreed we had a lovely experience.

Service: Service was excellent & we appreciated being moved to a window.
Product: This was a present & I would recommend this cruise.

The service was the worst I have ever experienced on a lunch cruise.

Service: Staff could have been more attentive, was not asked if we wanted refills on our drinks or whether we wanted coffee, fine by us by you would be missing lots on the up sells?
Product: the lunch is always good value for money

Service: We had a nice time cruising the bay!
Product: Excellent food! Could have been longer!!

Service: Service was fine
Product: the food although nice was a little sparce for the price

Service: nice cruise n food
Product: nice food and cruise food
