Service: We really enjoyed the harbour cruise having not been to Sydney before. The commentary was great and we learnt a lot of Sydney history. The harbour is a wonderful beauty.
Product: The service was great and we enjoyed the commentary.

Service: Très bon service
Product: Bon moment dans la baie de Sydney. Personnel sympathique.

Service: The lady who provided the commentary of our Sydney harbour cruise was excellent. Clear concise and very knowledgeable.
Product: Nice coffee and good morning tea selection

The service was excellant

Service: My second cruise both amazing received warm welcome on arrival food was delicious nice and clean. Fantastic surprise we were celebrating my aunties 80th and a cake was brought out and everyone sang happy birthday. Was brilliant to see her excitement so overall once again enjoyed our cruise thankyou 👌
Product: I look for presentation and of course taste and found a nice variety of food. Desert could of had less sugary sweets and didn’t enjoy the coffee machine however the brew was nice

I didn’t like that the food was already out and you were basically made to go up and get your food straight away. I was there to sight see I wasn’t interested in food the moment we stepped on board. I thought we would get on, someone would give us a run down of what to expect on the trip and then the food would come out and as we liked we could go up and get food. We got our food and went back to our table to finally start sight seeing and listening to commentary when someone came up and asked us if we would like drinks, which was nice but I had already got our drinks. Then just as we started eating again, a photographer came up and kept taking our photo not sure how we are meant to sight see or listen to commentary when we keep getting interrupted. About half way through the cruise I wanted another drink, of course no one would come near us then nor was anyone ever at the bar to go and get one myself, I never got another drink. Right at the end of the cruise I discovered that there was an outside deck you go out on, this would have been nice to be informed about at the start.

NA

Service: Good service. Good value.
Product: see previous notes

Excellent commentary and it was a nice touch having a drink when we walked on board. Those cakes were also delicious! Speakers were a little hard to hear when sitting outside but was able to hear most of it.

Service: The whole cruise time was too short and we felt rushed from the moment we got in especially as it was a surprise 50th b'day!
These sunset dinners should be 2hrs at least.
We didnt get to feel the whole enjoyment and experience.
The quality and quantity of food was average but not what you paid for in total for the lot per person
Product: Pretty standard nothing special
Disappointed unfortunately

Service: The staff, vessel and food were excellent & contributed to making it a very enjoyable harbour cruise.
Product: A great choice for a family harbour buffet lunch cruise with something for everyone (except for the limited soft drink/soda selection). Nice modern vessel and wonderful staff.

Easy on-line purchase. Good value. Great crew and staff. Only two in party but full birthday service and great seating and food. Beautiful weather helped as well. Just love Sydney Harbour.

Service: The service was excellent. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful
Product: The buffet lunch was delicious. Thought there may have been mmore seafood, however the prawns, smoked salmon and oysters weretops and the roast meats were well cooked.
Desserts were fantastic and must admit 2nds were in order

Absolutely fabulous trip , lovely food so chilled atmosphere lovely day

Service: I would definitely go again. enjoyed the cruise.
Product: enjoyable and interesting cruise

Service: Good service, most staff were friendly. Especially the lady who showed us to our seats. Very nice views
Product: We had the buffet lunch, we didn’t really like the food and wasn’t much variety but a lot of other people seemed to enjoy it. Otherwise it was a nice experience

Service: Great
Product: Excellent

很棒的巡航线路，沿途风景都很棒。
船上提供的茶点和咖啡都不错。
唯一的不足是解说，或者干脆不要解说也可以。

Service: Excellent service and commentary. Great value
Product: As above

Service: Yes would recommend to others, and have done. Always enjoy the commentary and the company of others enjoying the same thing. Get to meet O/S visitors. I like that you have birthday prices/ and up to more fancy bookings. So everyone can enjoy the harbour.
Product: A/A

Service: Good service, timely departure and arrival.
Product: Easy to purchase online and good customer service help

Friendly staff, great band, great food, awesome atmosphere.

This cruise is always a highlight when we have American friends visit us in Sydney. The narration is a good combination of sights and history. The glass of sparkling to start is a very nice touch, but the package of food boxes in mid-afternoon is overkill.

Service: That's what we meant, you guys are just 5 star service, excellent all round, from the ease of booking online, to getting there by train, to getting tickets to boarding to table to lunch (AMAZING!) to the cruising and the sight seeing, on top of good price offer on Wednesday! I can't wait for my next trip, given half a chance in Sydney again.
Product: We don't see any reasons you and your cruise should be rated any less.

Service: Sarah was awesome
Product: Sarah was awesome

Service: Horrible vessel. Ugly, and only few seats outside. I remember booking with matilda cruises years back. Such a nice boat. And tables and chairs on the deck and it departed from darling Harbour which is much nicer location. The 'cruise' now was worse than the Manly Ferry which is an iconic. It spoiled my birthday to be honest and did not impress my guests either
Product: See above

Amazing service by the lady assigned to our table. It was my mums birthday and they surprised us with some cute sparkles on her dessert and sung happy birthday. Food was delish & the view was amazing. Very happy overall. Will be defs booking again in the near future.

Service: Lovely cruise with tasty food, great service.
Product: Very relaxing, good choice of beverages

Service: We had a wheel and disabled clients the staff were excellent. Staff were helpful and accommodating. The food was served at the table to a large group and was amazing
Product: Will definitely book more events

Service: We had a wonderful time aboard the Capital Cook Sunset Dinner Cruise. The staff was attentive and the dinner was delicious. The views of the Opera House and the Sydney Bridge were breathtaking. We would do this again when we’re in Sydney next time.
Product: The wine, dinner, and cruise of Sydney Harbour was wonderful. It's a good value.

Service: Really great experience! Would do it again for sure! Only issue was that I felt there was a shortage of waiters attending tables
Product: Good but shortage of waiters

Service: The Captain Cook Buffet Lunch / Harbour Cruise was a wonderful, low-key way for us to celebrate a wedding anniversary - enjoying the iconic views of the harbour, while enjoying a delicious meal, all for a very reasonable price!
Product: The meal was exceptional value, the cruise was very enjoyable, and we enjoyed the sights of the harbour.

Service: Service was wonderful
Product: Not enough variety

Service: excellent ship and staff
Product: great seafood and plentiful salads

This was an excellent cruise. We went into parts of the harbour we had never seen. Your commentator (Elizabeth?) was really knowledgeable. She spoke clearly and with some humour. Other staff were also very efficient and courteous. With the added bonus of a bar, and tea/coffee I consider this to be a good value cruise.

The staff are amazing and a big salute to the skippers in both vessels as we arrived at the wrong wharf and only had 15min to get to the vessel , we were transported from one wharf to the other without any fuss , we did the science cruise and enjoyed 2 hours on the most beautiful harbour in the world
What a way to show off our beautiful city to visitors

It was enjoyable to sit back and relax with a wine, coffee and snacks and see the views of Sydney Harbour. Commentary was informative but not over-bearing. Crew were polite and helpful from start to finish.

Staff was pleasant and service was excellent

Have always found these cruises good value and totally enjoyable. This is now the fifth time we’ve used captain cook. This time it was with 2 children. The menu was great and the service fabulous. Will use again.

Excellent trip, very informative

Relaxing day

The cruise was excellent, we took our friends from South Africa on the harbour and they loved it, the champagne was a great touch to start the day and the quality of the coffee and cakes simply added to the occasion. Bob gave information which our friends soaked up , a great morning, couldn't recommend highly enough. Thanks, and a good price !

Service: The service was very good, we had purchased a drinks package. The waitress was very attentive and organised. The food was presented well and delicious.
Product: Great service and value for money.

Great cruise and commentary. Unfortunately if you are seated on the outside deck right at the rear of the boat it is really hard to hear.
The cruise combined premium and standard tour. There was no information provided with regards to receiving your complimentary afternoon tea. So, without asking would not have known the procedure.

Service: Great value for money, good commentary.
Product: Great story telling

Service: Enjoyed the cruise, very relaxing
Product: Good value

Service: Staff was lovely
Product: Initial purchade was a la carte but downgraded to buffet bad choice

Wonderful way to see our beautiful harbour...very relaxing and the food was amazing....l will be recommending this cruise to my friends.

Service: Trevlig tur och guidning.
Product: Bra information av trevlig personal

My family's really enjoying the long two hours harbour story cruises. Journey through the harbour while we relaxing enjoying biscuits and coffee. The Cruises look very modern had clean. Great service from all Captain Cook.

Service: The food and service was very good. We have recommended the cruise to other people and we want to try another one one day
Product: Nothing is perfect

Service: Service and environment, view is very good. Food need to upgrade a little bit will help 😀😀
Product: Good price

Service: Okay
Product: The food wasn't that nice and it mainly catered for people who can eat seafood. It also didn't cater for people with food allergies.

The Service was excellent , Michelle books these lunch cruises every year with the support from her carer.
Michelle is wheel chair bound and the staff went over and beyond to make us comfortable.
Helping us out getting our meals and drinks

The food, service, and cruise was very enjoyable. My family had a great time.

Pretty good and attentive table service

料理があまり美味しくなかった。。
スタッフの方々は感じがよくて素敵な対応でした。

This cruise was perfect for our overseas guests, was very enjoyable and Educational with the history of Sydney harbour. The champagne and food was also very nice,highly recommend. Thank you

Service: Employees were friendly and very helpful. Food was very good. The cruise was too short. Called sunset cruise, but came back way before sunset. We felt rushed.
Product: Easy to reserve tickets

Was good food, table service staff were friendly & helpful, however a bit tardy, had to refill our water glasses several times ourselves. Was a good cruise just the sane

Service: Service is good but can you add more menu to choose from in the buffett?
Product: More menu to choose from please...

Service: Excellent service and really good value for money
Product: Good value for money

I cancelled my travel to NSW/Sydney because of cathastrophic bush fire. I already cancelled a week before the trip but they said no refund. They should have an option for refund in case of an act of nature because it is not my fault that I cancelled for the safety of my family.

Thank you

Service: Everything about the lunchtime trip was excellent. At the last minute we decided to take our brother-in-law out for his birthday as he had never been on this type of cruise before and everything was so good with the staff and the food was delicious. We are planing to use the Captain Cook service again very soon.
Product: Excellent on every point of the cruise

Service: Very informative commentary and the gentleman was easy and clear to understand. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Product: Easy to obtain

Windows could've been cleaned to ensure optimal experience and food is ok but not great. Overall, it was a nice experience amd enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend it for memorable moments.

Service: I thought it was very good and reasonably priced the tour guide was knowledgeable and informative and aware of his surroundings and past on about it getting rough as we past through the wake of other boats.
The only fly in the ointment is if you don’t drink tea and coffee you have to pay extra for soft drinks.
Product: Definitely value for money especially as we paid for the coffee and biscuits up grade for the normal tour price.

Service: The volume of the audio was too low to hear out in the harbour with the noise of the winds and waves. On the other hand, the catering was very poor. We booked a “premium” experience which included sweet and savoury treats and tea and coffee. We had to ask for them at least 3 times until someone brought them to our table unpleasantly. The sweet and savoury snacks were served in 4 carton boxes for each of us and mine was all sweet - did not have anything savoury in it whereas my mum and dad had 3 sweet and 1 savoury snack each. The staff were rude and it definitely WAS NOT WORTH THE MONEY overall. Sydney ferries are very cheap and you can have a great time seeing the same everything on them. Plus staff are very friendly.

Good day with the family! Nice commentary on a great day.

Service: The waiter Hugo was very attentive & polite and was a fine young man. The food service was prompt with staff refilling the dishes promptly as required.
The Seafood Buffet had all my favourites. There were generous amounts of all the food, hot and cold salads .........ennough for having more. The dining area was spacious & the buffet area not crowded. The choice for dessert, if you still had room was limited but l enjoyed the cheese platter. The commentary was excelent, l would highly recommend this cruise and was surprised there were so few tourists
Product: Quality of food , good service & not crowded.Pleasant staff

Service: Great atmosphere. Not much of a food selection though. No music or entertainment. Service from waiters was great.

Product: Food was very average.

Service: The staff were great and really went the extra yards for my Mum's 80th (14th December 2019). Couldn't fault the cruise itself.
Product: Thought that there might have been more options for kids on the buffet

Service: Even though the smoke was bad and a crazy storm hit while out on the boat it was still great and the food was fantastic
Product: Excellent

Service: The cruise fulfilled our expectations and we were pleased just how close to the shore it actually went. Even though we are locals, we had an overseas visitor with us and she just loved it despite the smoke haze.
Product: We selected our cruise and found we had a discounted rate - bonus!

Staff were delightful. Very relaxing afternoon. Will do it again. History as well as harbour voyage around this beautiful harbour. Perfect for all age groups.

Service was really nice. Great views and a lovely way to see Sydney

Product: Great value for money. Could not fault the experience when arranging the tickets.

Service: Efficient and helpful
Product: Great commentary and sight seeing

Very good all round. Would have rated 5 stars -maybe it was me but I seem to have missed commentary on/ close up/stop @ Fort Denison/Pinchgut Is. Could have also given us a look down towards Darling Harbour.

Scott the manager on the jetty was very funny, comforting and helpful
Product: great value, easy booking process

Service: Easy to book with, vessel was very sleak and smart. Staff boarded you well and seated you quickly. Buffet was very good plenty of selection and topped continusly. Service to table very attentive and helpful. Excellent cruise around harbour area. First Glass lunch.

Service: Easy booking process with helpful polite call service. Enjoyed the commentary & delicious plentiful food.
Product: Enjoyable harbour cruise. Value for money.

Had my cousin from overseas, we enjoyed the cruise immensely, food was just right and drinks were a great choice. I would off like for the whole experience to be a bit longer than just the 11/2 half hour.

Nice and friendly service with interesting information along the cruise.
As a tourist to Sydney, the harbour cruise is the ideal start of your visit.
Without it, you don't realise how big and beautiful the city is around the harbour.
On our next trip we will be using the 2 day Hop-on-Hop-off cruise.
Perfect to explore the city.

Service: The residents really enjoyed the meal and said the service was fantastic
Product: Great meal with a good range of food choices

Service: Plenty seafood on menu , sure I got money's worth with prawns & oysters , while our group observed the Ovation of the seas , our next trip next year .
Product: Enough seafood to satisfy us all , got my money's worth of prawns & oyster , with couple drinks each ,.

Service: Great Staff members and excellent food!
Product: The dinner cruise had a lovely atmosphere and the food and view were amazing

Service: Thank you so much for all of your assistance, with help sourcing food and drinks, being in a wheelchair made it difficult to do this on the day, but your staff were fantastic in helping.
Product: Food was amazing

Food not good.

Excellent service, friendly staff

We loved the cruise - it was a fantastic way to see Sydney Harbour. The tour commentary was excellent, and Elizabeth was a wonderful host. Really enjoyed the yummy afternoon tea.

Service: The food was lovely, the drink service could have been better though, when we initially ordered our drinks, the bubbly, they asked did we just want it by the glass,
we said ok but then after the first one I couldn't get another, I should have asked for the bottle to be left at the table! Also after ordering our drinks they were left at the bar and not brought to the table! Other than that everything else was good.
Product: The food was great.

Service: Fantastic service, friendly staff and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and a very lovely lady
Product: Fantastic cruise great value and very friendly knowledgeable tour guide

Product: Excellent allround

Service: Very pleasant and comfortable trip around the harbour
Product: Good value

Service: The service was excellent,especially that the team leader saw there was ten grandchildren so we were allocated the whole lower deck for the cruise and lunch, the food was very very good also the service with lovely staff. We had previously been on a Vivid cruise and when we decided to hold the 70th birthday party for Carole we decided why would you go elsewhere
Product: Very very good food and service

Thought the overall experience was excellent, our tour guide was excellent and personable - gave out so much information suggested googling after the trip. The information was faultless. The ride smooth. The food left a bit to be desired thought the boxes couldn't have been nicer.

Service: Hilfsbereites freundliches Personal
Gute Organisation
Product: Gutes Personal, Essen in Ordnung, gute Organisation

Service: excellent service, food presentation was good. and plenty of it.
Product: good service good food and plenty of it, I like to put my seafood on separate plates and eat that first before going back for my other dishes which was a plus for me.

Service: Service and food were excellent. A real fun time!
Product: Reasonable price for this fun experience!

Nice cruise, good service and good buffet. I took along older relatives from Canada and they thoroughly enjoyed it

Good service, left on time very informative

Excellent storiestold on trip around Sydney Harbor ! Great views.

Service: Beautiful boat, lovely staff all dressed in crisp clean uniforms. The food, although there wasn't a lot of choices what they did have was good quality and everything was very tasty, sometimes at a buffet everything is bland but this was delicious and the flavour in the deserts was amazing, probably the nicest and tastiest deserts I have ever had at a buffet, can't wait to go again!
Product: One of the best buffets !!

We thoroughly enjoyed the food and scenery whilst cruising around the Harbour. The staff were attentive and the whole event ran smoothly.
I would recommend this Lunch Cruise.

スタッフの方は皆親切で、素晴らしい接客を受けました。スパークリングワインや紅茶、クッキーをいただきながら、気持ちよくクルーズを楽しめました。船から見るオペラハウスやハーバーブリッジをはじめ、どの景色も最高でした。また、他の乗客もフレンドリーな方が多く、写真の撮り合いや会話を楽しみました。素敵な時間をありがとうございました。次は夜景クルーズに乗りたいです。

We often use the Capt Cook Harbour Cruise that include meals, always a pleasant outing

Service: Great vessel - friendly staff and live commentary
Product: Great vessel, friendly staff, live commentary and not too crowded

Service: My cousin visited from New York so I wanted an explanatory experience for her. Elizabeth, on the microphone, was fantastic I even learnt a few things.
Product: Excellent commentary by Elizabeth.

Service: The service was excellent and staff very professional and approachable
Elizabeth who talked us through the tour was absolutely brilliant. Full of interesting information about the area from pre white immigration up to present day. A very interesting introduction to Sydney Bay.
Product: Booked on line it was quick and easy

amazing! Food was delicious, service was excellent

It was difficult to hear the guide on the rear deck. Great in all other respects.

Good value. Excellent staff, great food, it was my birthday present to a friend from overseas. He was stoked :)

Excellent cruise. The guide was very knowledgeable.

Service: Awesome sight seeing trip. We did the premium package and was worth it. Lovely muffins. The narrative along the way was interesting and the guide very knowledgable.
Product: We all had a relaxing time on an amazing boat.

Firstly the instructions regarding the service of the food were not clear and not spoken loud enough for all to hear. There were some ‘nibbles’ type food but no mention of their provision. The hot food was not labelled to indicate the name of the dish and its contents or wether it was vegetarian or non-vegetarian. Admittedly we did not specify any special needs but that would not negate the need for food labelling.
The commentary and other services were satisfactory.
The assistance given to me in the organisation of our Bus travel and Cruise has been very helpful and greatly appreciated.

Service: Everyone was very helpful. From the people taking the booking, to those assisting with extra requests for tickets, the people at the wharf as well as all the staff on board.
Product: Everyone in the group enjoyed the seafood buffet.

Service: Boarding was swift.
Directions were guided well by pleasant staff.
Waitress was wonderful.
Meals were delicious.
Plates were cleared away quickly.
Plenty of photo opportunities.
Photo guy for memories was great too
Product: Booking on line was easy and informative

Service: The cruise it self was fantastic. The guide was very informative and engaging. When due to plane issues traveling to Sydney from Uluru we missed our cruise, Captain Cook Cruises was very helpful in rescheduling our cruise.
Product: The cruise was a great value

Service: Good price and great service
Product: Very enjoyable time, picturesque views of Sydney, great guide and service in general

Service: well organized decent food and wine
Product: good experience well trained and courteous staff services

Service: very good service for the sunset cruise. unlimited drinks was nice. you can see many of sydney main attractions. very reccomended for a tourist as well as a local.
Product: very good and attentive staff.

We had a nice experience as using your service during our visit in Sydney. The staff was very nice and foods are just perfect for us.

Service: I would definitely recommend them.
Food was good. Wine was good. Service was excellent.
And to make it even better the music was not loud and not raucous!

And of course not forgetting the view that was provided.
Product: I just did that. Not sure what else you want me to say.
I said it all above

Captain Cook delivered an experience equal to the description. Believe what you read about the tour.

Service: Very poor service, the food portions were small and the buffet didnt even last an hour. The staff were packing up after 40 minutes and the remainder of the journey was practically site seeing. For the amount paid its not worth it at all.
Product: The buffet was mediocre every thing was average. Felt like being served at a cheap style wedding. Also the buffet only lasted 40 minutes and the staff were packing everything away. The remainder of the time was practically site seeing.

Service: Amazing everything!
Product: Amazing experience and food

Service: very easy to book online, and excellent and responsive customer care, which is the most important thing to me.
Product: Great experience all around! Loved the food and the views.

Elizabeth was amazing. Bright, friendly and a mine of really useful information.

Service: Great welcome aboard and staff were very friendly and gave great service. Were always close by if needed assistance
Product: Great photos that you can treasure and remember the cruise

Service: Pleasant service but certainly not overly engaging on any special level to warrant 5 stars. There was a very noisy and disrespectful school group from WA onboard and the neither commentator nor crew did anything to ask the teacher to rein the youngsters in to the detriment of everyone else's enjoyment.
Product: The noisy school group the staff/crew did nothing about. Very disruptive.

Could have been a little longer, or maybe time just seemed to fly by because I had a good time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Great experience with the cruise over 2 hours with the interesting story about the habour and scenery around. Great drinks, great snacks and great people.

Service: Great trip around Sydney harbour. Bruce, Bob, Brandon and Judy did a superb job as captain, crew and compere.
Our only concern - the captains morning tea selection - nearly everything had nuts in it. Please include some lamingtons back in the pack
Product: Cruise was awesome. Judy did a brilliant commentary. As I said our only concern was that 2 out of 4 of us have nut intolerance. The box didn't name the product we were eating and then it was a challenge to read the side of the pack. Ultimately we paid for premium and couldn't eat and we don't drink alcohol so a few soft drinks, coffee and a fight between us for the cheese and bickies. Still a wonderful day on the harbour

Service: all positive except on point: The person who served us initially insisted that drinks were not included, even though we had the bar option
Product: all food was good quality and fresh. the only item I thought was a bit lower standard was the carvings

Service: good food, good service. Really enjoyable cruise
Product: I cant remember the purchase experience

Fantastico

Service: Really bad food
Product: Food taste really bad, just like canteen food. Seafood not even fresh and not many varieties to choose.

Service: very good, but it was a quiet day so service was excellent.
Product: food was very good, loved the prawns and oysters

Service: Really professional outfit and very well valued! A must-do Sydney experience - thank you! Commentary was second to none!

Service: Friendly, professional staff who went out of their way to meet requests.
Really nice food, especially for a “mass” dinner service.
The sunset dinner cruise is such a great idea for giving visitors an experience of the harbour in both daylight & evening when all the lights come on. We have taken a number of people on this cruise & they were all very impressed.
Product: I’ve already done that in previous question

Service: Boat great food great crew great lovely cruise on Sydney Harbour
Product: Everything about the lunch cruise was great would do it again

Service: Great commentary about Sydney Harbour
Product: Great commentary about Sydney Harbour

Service: Excellent. Recommend the window seat
Product: Plenty of seafood but also other options for those who don’t like seafood

Service: the window is a bit dirty
Product: The quality of food is good but need more quantity and variety.

Service: We always take visitors to Sydney on a Captain Cook cruise. Love them!
Product: Very informative and interesting

Impressive boat and courteous staff dampened only by the cruise' narrator (Aug 31 cruise) - she was neither engaging nor entertaining, boring us almost to sleep. Weather was dreary as it had been raining but that was beyond control. Would have been memorable for our foreign guests (friends visiting Sydney for the first time)- had we at least had a lively narrator.

Service: Unfortunately the sound system was not working properly and we could not hear the commentary. This was our first trip and we especially wanted to hear about the hatbour highlights. Very disappointing. There also seemed to be some confusion with staff service maybe more training required. Meal and weather was grear though.
Product: Great food especially the seafoos

Service: Excellent food, great service and a fantastic view.
Product: Reasonable price for trip

Staff were very patient and pleasant

Service: Service was good
Product: Food was good, and a great variety, drinks a bit pricey

Service: Food was delicious the service was polite and professional.
Product: perhaps a little more variety

Highly recommend, an unforgettable experience. Excellent service, great food, free flowing drinks. 10/10.

Service: The cruise was great the food excellent and the staff courteous and helpful
Product: The food was excellent and a variety for different tastes

Service: The staff was okay. After we complained they explained that there wasn't much fish at the buffet this time, which was really disappointing.
Product: My family from Germany came to visit me in Sydney. I wanted to take them on a cruise around the Harbour with Seafood. We were all very excited and couldn't wait to get on. To say that we were disappointed in the food and the cruise in general would be an understatement.. Nothing was as it was stated on the website.
I wasn't aware that chicken and roast were considered "seafood". There was one type of fish and some oysters, the rest was rice, chicken, roast and a few salads and some dry bread rolls. We took a photo of one of our plates to compare to the photos online. Online we were promised a variety of fish and prawns and not just dry fish and oysters. After telling the staff, they had some excuse as to why there was only two types of seafood. The food was absolutely miserable and a waste of money. We should have gotten fish and chips from Circular Quay, it would have not only been tastier and more authentic but also not a complete waste of money.

Service: In the buffet section, the seafood and vegetarian options were horrible. It was like having raw fish! On top of that the environment wasn't enjoyable. There was no music!

Very pleased journey from ticket booking, getting on board, presentation in the cruise.

Service: Very efficient ticketing system Excellent commentary on board. Friendly crew and capable captain!
Very enjoyable and learnt a lot about the history of Sydney
Product: See comments in my review

Excellent experience!

Service: Yes, would recommend
Product: Reasonable lunch menu, however, not a great choice for non seafood clients

The experience overall was fine. Maybe the food needs to be improved

Service: ran to schedule efficient and courteous staff food excellent
Product: Food we had was marvellous however your advertising is strong on you serving ocean prawns
I had a party of 16 including my wife the birthday girl who is a seafood lover and particularly loves prawns however we did not see a prawn served all day and so that was very disappointing

We had a wonderful experience. The accommodation, food and service was amazing. Alex our waiter could not do enough for us. The tour of the caves was very interesting and worthwhile exploring.

Excellent. The guide is extremely passionate and knowledgeable.

Service: I enjoyed this cruise with my cousin from Russia who was wowed at the views of Sydney Harbour. We had a lovely buffet lunch with incredible views of all the famous sights!
Product: Delicious prawns and oysters!

Good price for the value

Excellent staff and comfortable cruising!

Wonderful cruise. Fantastic service.
I was suppose to take a lady in a large electric wheelchair. Luckily she was sick and wasn’t able to attend I had rung and was told the John Cadman was wheelchair accessible.
I had explained it was a very large electric wheelchair. I had plan ed to rebook for the lady in the wheelchair but on checking while there the ramp is very steep and at the top there is a thick metal bar which the wheelchair would be unable to navigate.
Must be very careful when you say wheelchair accessible. Need to clarify. It would of been awful if I had brought the lady and been unable to access the John cadman.
☹️☹️

Service: Good service but only entree not good
Product: Maybe more better 3 course meal but service was excellent

El recorrido, las explicaciones, la cortesía, magníficos.
Solo cambiaría la composición de los cakes and cheeses que ofrecen con el ticket premium, ya que 3 pasteles son demasiado, vs un solo pedacito pequeño de queso.
Por lo demás, todo perfecto!!!

Service: My team had a FANTASTIC afternoon! The staff were absolutely wonderful. Helpful, kind and made the cruise a wonderful experience
Product: The food was good. One vegetarian option, a few meats and a couple of seafood options. The salads were nice though! Desserts and cheeses were nice too.

Very simple to book, friendly and helpful staff. Great way for a couple of Pommies to get a feel for Oz.

Great Sites. Great information & stories. First Class

Service: We really enjoyed our lunch and cruise. We only had a short stay in Sydney and this was a great way to enjoy a meal and the lovely views of the harbour at the same time. Would recommend.
Product: I'm not a seafood eater but my husband is. He enjoyed the seafood and I enjoyed the beautifully cooked ham and salads.

Service: Very good..

Service: The service was great, the staff were professional and friendly. There was a good variety of food and it was delicious. we enjoyed it very much.
Product: already answered this question

Service: The food was not up to standard different to what was on the menu
Product: other then the food it was a beautiful cruise

Overall it was a great experience. Done like clock work. Great views, great weather and good food.

Easy to book, the guide was fantastic and the bubbly and afternoon tea were lovely

Service: Could not hear the commentary whatsoever.
There was smoked salmon & oysters..... I don't eat raw fish nor oysters so all I could have was the chicken plus prawns. Would be nice to have maybe some cooked fish & maybe some beef. Just not enough variety.
Product: Not enough variety. I don't eat smoked salmon or oysters. Cooked fish would've been nice & maybe beef as there was only chicken drumsitcks plus a veg curry

Service: Only a small selection of choices for what is called a buffet.
Don't know if this was because they usually have a larger boat?
Hospitality staff were very good
Product: already said why.
selection not that good

Service: Excellent informative commentary. Beautiful vessel and facilities. A perfect Sydney experience for a short-stay overseas visitor.
Product: Excellent value for the cost.

Service: Entree and main good was good, dessert average. No entertainment on board. Boat arrived back earlier than time stated. Tyrells wine nowhere in sight although advertised. Asked for second bread roll and my meal was almost finished before we got it.
Product: No Tyrells wine as adveryised, no entertainment, boat arrived back earlier than schedule. Dessert was ordinary.

Excellent experience, service and food!

Service was great, food was great, seemless experience that lived up to all our expectations.

Service: Good food, good service
Product: Plenty of good food and choice available

Service: very enjoyable, great food . helpful & engaging staff
Product: very enjoyable, friendly & helpful staff. great food

Service: Enjoyed the ~2 hour harbor cruise.
>What you did well: Boarded and departed on time; did not rush; provided enough refreshment to satisfy even finicky people.
>What you might consider for improvement: Place additional loudspeakers around the ship so I don't have to choose between concentrating on hearing the narration and taking photographs/video.
Product: already did in previous panel

Service: The Captain Cook Cruise's staff are very friendly and professional from booking the cruise, picking up the tickets and on the boat.
Product: The Harbour Story Premium cruise is great value. Not only did I receive a fantastic cruise on Sydney Harbour, but the welcome champagne was a relaxing way to begin, the cruise commentator was excellent, and the afternoon tea was very thoughtful and extremely delicious.

Service: The tour was great! left the dock on time and the commentary was informative and to the point.
A good way to see Sydney Harbour.
Product: Commentary very informative and agoodway to see a different side of Sydney.

Service: Good service at harbour desk.
Product: Great views from window table. Good service, Food was ok, nothing fancy, but good, drinks included.

Service: Was good as
Product: Was good! The entree wasn’t fantastic though... something a bit more exciting would have been good! We ain’t all rabbits haha!! Other than that it was real nice.

The food was great. Thumbs Up

Service: Needs improvement. Food has not been good this time around and the commentary was not available at this trip which was available in previous trips.
Product: Food has gone downhill since.

Friendly staff & great food

Would thoroughly recommend. The service, food and history of Sydney was great. The view from the boat was terrific and the weather was kind to us. Boat was clean and tidy.

good attentive service, not over top, easy to move around, window option is worth it if you just want to sit and enjoy the views

Paid bit extra for Premium - well worth it
Thoroughly recommend

Service: Always tending to our needs, constantly refilling our drinks, excellent service, excellent food, an absolutely fantastic experience for both my mum and myself. There is nothing I can fault from our cruise experience.
Product: An excellent dining experience, great views, beautiful tasty food, very relaxing and the staff were friendly and provided excellent service. I highly recommend doing this for everyone visiting Sydney for a truly memorable experience.

Service: The staff all friendly and extremely professional.....great . Service flowed in a timely manner no panic at all. Staff very polite and willing to assist .
Product: Good evening for that special person in your life

Service: This is my 4th year in a row had the vivid sun set dinner cruise. Three course meal is the same every year. First two years we had salmon for entree but now only had salad ! Disappointed that coffee and tea still not be provided after dessert which feel like something missing. Overall still a very pleasant journal and the waitress served us is very polite.
Product: Keep the standard but can change the menu a bit every year or every two years

Service: Pleasant staff, great service, easy to be seated, food was good for such a fast delivery.
Product: We were catching up with Sydney friends and it presented a good space, not too noisy and easy to hear and speak.

Service: Great service, comfortable boat with plenty of room. Very informative tour, loved it.
Product: Very informative, enjoyed it very much

Service: Very professionally organized with only the best quality of everything
Product: Could not ask for anything better

Service: The staff welcomed us on board and saw us to our table. Our waitress was charming and helpful throughout the night. She made several good suggestions about how we could make the most of our cruise.
Product: Our party came up to Sydney for 2 nights to see Vivid. We usually start off with the CCC Sunset Dinner. The food was very good, although portion size was a little small. The range of wines and drinks was excellent.

Service: Excellent service, quick and efficiant
Product: A great "quick cruise" with excellent service and an adequate preset menu

Our server was Vivienne was so welcoming and courteous.
Great service ( i was in hospitality for 30+ yrs). Exceptional attention.

Service: Great commentary. Exactly what we wanted in touring Sydney Harbour
Product: Nice afternoon tea well presented

Service: The service was fantastic, quick and efficient at all times
Product: Great sunset cruise even though there was no sunset on the day but great seeing the Vivid lights being turned on.

Service: This Dinner Cruise provided a wonderful means of taking in the Sydney Opera house at night during the Vivid Presentation. The picturesqe landscape seen from the top deck as the sun was setting is something I will never forget. The service was great and the food presentation & flavors were great. The opportunity to view the Sydney Opera house from the water was worth the cost alone. The exceptional service, food, and drinks were just a bonus. I am pleased to have booked this excursion. I would recommend it to others without hesitation. Thank you Captain Cook Cruises.
Product: The views of the Sydney Opera house at night were well worth the money spent. The Dinner, service, and cruise were all a bonus.

Food was great , service was terrific

Service: The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was reasonably good. I was disappointed with the vivid lights and don’t think it should be advertised as same as there was only the Opera House and Museum of Contemporary Art that had light displays. Once it gets dark on the water you have no idea where you are. Some discreet commentary whilst Cruising would have be good to orientate to Sydney Harbour at night.
Product: Staff were friendly and attentive. Food was reasonably good.
I don’t think it should be advertised as a Vivid lights tour as the only lights shows that you could see were the Opera House and Museum of Contemporary Art. I also think some commentary of location during the Cruise would be beneficial to orientate to Sydney Harbour

Service: The Lasses that served us were impeccable and very well mannered . A delight to talk to nothing was a problem ..
Product: Dinner was rushed and understandably so with the next cruise to be catered for ...... mmmmmmmm

Service: The ship was quite lovely, it was clean and presented nicely, the service was quite good with waiters coming to our table several times and the food was nice.
Although one issue I had was coffee not being included in the cruise, it cost extra and there wasn't non-dairy options.
Product: Quite easy to compare the cruises and select the right one

Service: Good Service.
Product: Not enough selections of food.

Their services are great but I will not fill the rest of this out given that this request was directed to "McNeight"
If you are unable to even address me by my correct name then what would be the point of going any further.
My name is Glynis McNeight not just "McNeight" which is downright rude.

Service: Fabulous 1.5 hours on the Harbour to experience Vivid. Staff, ambience, food all lovely.
Product: Fab food, very impressed. We shared the chicken and salmon and it was delicious.

Service: Great Customer Service!
Product: Customer Service was great. Seating and view were perfect.

Service: We were seated promptly by smiling staff. Food was plentiful and delicious, and serving staff very efficient and friendly.
Product: Delicious and varied. Plenty of food .

Service: We had salmon as the main, it was served warm, also I purchased a coffee it was served luke warm, The experience was disappointing, not up to the standard of your normal service.
Product: Not good, the main was served warm. Also purchased a coffee, it es served luke warm. Not up to your normal good standard.

Service: Really friendly staff and caring service from everyone from quayside to boat staff. Simple but perfectly cooked food. Clean bathrooms, reasonable price. Parents loved it, so did I.
Product: Really friendly staff and caring service from everyone from quayside staff to boat staff. Simple but perfectly cooked food. Clean bathrooms, reasonable price.

Service: Everything was good. I will come back.
Product: Last time about 3 years ago the buffet lunch had more variety.

Service: The service, cruise and dinner was top notch and we were running late and literally arrived as they were pulling up the plank and they still let us on and for that we were grateful.
Product: Amazing experience and nothing else quite compares

The food was great and the wait staff very professional. The only complaint I have is that we didn’t get to see much of the Vivid Light show. The show started at 6pm but the ship had to return to the wharf by 6:30pm. So our Vivid experience was very short lived.

The cruise was to rushed, needed to wait until 6pm for the vivid lights, which if you weren't quick enough, you didn't see it.

Service: I am happy with the service.
Product: The exact time for dinner and evening time was very nice and pleasant. weather was good. no need to travel late night.perfect to show the foreign visitors how city looks at night time.

It was fantastic feelings with someone you love in this experience. Thank you so much!

Service: It was a very good itinerary as they didn’t speak all the time.
Product: It was value for money. It was good how they kept topping the dishes

Service: Our sunset cruise was so well organised - great dinner and birthday drinks for me - special to see Vivid from the water - Love Sydney and you made it special
Product: as mentioned in customer experience

Service: Done very well, kind staff, Delicious food well presented. Amazing views of harbour
Product: I dont eat seafood but the salads were amazing.

Service: The meal was lovely and served well. We had plenty of room at our window view table and the view was excellent. My husband is not as able as he once was on his feet so it was really good that he was able to see everything without leaving his seat.
Product: I went on a dinner cruise last year with a friend. Although the sunset cruise doesn't show the Vivid colours as well as the later one, it was still the best option for my husband as he wouldn't have been able to do the later one.

Service: We took the sunset Cruise during the Vivid Festival. Great value for money. Great service, friendly efficient staff and great food.
Product: Great value for money. Great service, friendly and efficient staff and good food.

Service: All round easy option for a great trip around the harbour.
Good food, expected quality of wine and other drinks.
Great service by everyone we came in contact with.
Product: All good and worked well.

An excellent experience, the staff were very polite & helpful, the meal was also very good with unlimited wines of a good standard. All in all very good value & well done.

Great Service, had a great time!

Service: Everyone on board was on their best behavior and will definitely come back
Product: Great selection of choice

Service: Not much variety with the food selection. The vegetarian option was a curry and it was way too spicy!
Product: Not enough variety in food. Food was nice though.

Had a wonderful time on Sydney Harbour with my wife. Enjoyed the premium check in and bubbles on arrival. Even bought several more rounds when the bar opened. Tour was excellent and really enjoyed the commentary. What we weren’t expecting however was the afternoon tea to arrive in ‘boxes’. Literally, mini slices of cake in boxes wrapped in plastic. Seemed very cheap and tacky.

Would have been nice to have a table with tea/coffee and cake on it to help ourselves rather than mini boxes of cake...

Beautiful Mothers Day Cruise.

Service: Pleasant staff, well- appointed boat and seating arrangements.
Product: Good value for money and easy to pay online.

This is our 3rd sunset cruise as it’s a present for my niece’s birthday. Generally very happy with it & with the service. Staff are friendly & professional.
However my other niece is vegetarian & we thought the one (and only) vegetarian meal was quite unsatisfactory. It was basically some vegetables & nothing else. This in no way lives up to what is to be found in most restaurants now as a vegetarian meal. Recommend you address this gap in your menu.

Service: I loved the cruise. Its the perfect way to see Sydney. The food was good and I enjoyed the commentary about the history of Sydney!
Product: Great food and wine. All round enjoyable!

Service: Booking and service was great
Product: The food was great and plenty of it, the prawns and oysters were fresh, really enjoyed lunch on lovely Sydney Harbour.
The commentary was a little hard to hear at times, particularly the female voice.

Service: From the initial online booking experience to being greeted as we boarded the cruise, the friendliness of staff and ease of navigating the website was ooutstanding!
Product: The commentary was well delivered and the service was excellent.

Service: service was very good, nice to see edward was working that day.
food was good
Product: all good,fresh food and good variety

Great service, the team were able to provide us with a last minute birthday request and surprised us with a cake, it was really sweet and the family had a great time! My dad especially enjoyed himself celebrating his 80th birthday

Service: We took our Aunt out for a seafood lunch cruise for her 90th birthday. We could not have asked for a better day. The harbour was superb in all it's a glory on a picture perfect day. The food was excellent and plentiful and the staff were wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble. They went above and beyond to make our aunt's day very memorable. They brought out the cake after lunch and even sang Happy Birthday to our aunt. She loved it and said it was the best birthday she had ever had. I cannot recommend this venue highly enough.
Product: The seafood as well as the other food was wonderful. Very fresh, tasty and more than enough.

Service: ............
Product: ...........................

It was excellent. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The cruise was lovely and relaxing. Everything was clean, neat and not rushed.

Service: The staff were all smiles, attentive, approachable and lovely.
However this being my 3rd time on the boat within 3 years I wasn't impressed with the food variety and quantity avaliable.

My previous visits the buffet had a much larger variety of options and serving sizes much larger

Desserts and fruit salad was disappointing.

To be honest i dont think I would choose this cruise again once seeing the other buffet lunch cruise options on offer for same price.

Thank you for the opportunity to give feedback and your staff once again were amazing hosts.
Product: IFood not great, limited options

Service: Great hospitality , good food
Product: Lovely night , great people, staff friendly

One person pulled out on the spot. So Captain Cook cruises gave us the credit to use at bar which was really nice from them. We enjoyed the lunch. Vegetarian curry was very delicious. We would definitely be back again. Staff was really friendly and nice. Great customer service.

Service: The service we had was amazing our steward attended to our every need.
Product: Great value for money and received everything we expected and more.

Service: The cruise was on time and the staff we friendly friendly. The commentary was very informative and delivered in a very easy listening format. The morning tea was absolutely delicious.
Product: Absolutely good value for money.

Service: I enjoyed the commentary
Product: The commentary was engaging

Would have good to have told of our canapés. I thought they were a bit pedestrian

Service: My daughter on the day ordered a window seat costing her $30.00 when we got on board there was hardly anyone on board and plenty of window seats left. I felt that the lady who sold it to her should have advised that there would be no problem getting a window seat!
Product: A good selection with friendly service!

Service: Window side table charge is too expensive as it's charged to each person. All other services and foods quality were good.
Product: It's good but a bit expensive

Service: The commentary was fantastic. Best Sydney Harbour cruise I have been on (this was probably the sixth, showing visitors the sights)
Product: Couldn't have been better

Service: The restaurant servers and restaurant managers were very nice and accommodating to my allergic needs . The food was terrible and we were unable to hear the commentator speak about the landmarks throughout the entire cruise. I would not recommend this cruise to anyone.
Product: The only seafood was rubber shrimp. The food was terrible and we were unable to hear the commentator speak about the landmarks throughout the entire cruise. I would not recommend this cruise to anyone.

Our tour guide was very good. He was very informative and mixed in a lot of humor with it. The boat was nice,as was the staff.

Service: Couldn’t hear commentary that well. fortunately, I’d heard it before having worked for CCC in 1991
The savory/sweet snacks included were all pretty sweet.
Product: Good value, long enough tour to see both the main and middle harbor.

Service: love the commentary
Product: good value , good choice of options

The food was fresh and varied. We paid extra for window seating and the window was very dirty making it difficult to see through. We were hosting friends from overseas and were embarrassed with how the staff discussed the drinks bill at the table. We didn’t request NRMA discount voucher for the online lunch reservation because it was difficult to know how to do this and the staff on board did not know how to apply on the drinks bill - a $5 discount on a $60 bottle of wine was not 20% discount. We were not as fast as others lining up for food so there was little left which was also disappointing. The seafood was fresh and tasty though.

Great service!

With food, there wasn't enough for everyone.. we missed out on desert but other than that it was great

Service: Good trip, exceptional speaker
, good service on board with great staff attending
poor premium tickets in relation with price
Product: good in general, poor in relation prices and service

Addition of Pinot Gris to the wine selection would have been nice

Service: It was the day before Easter weekend and it was as if the staff were non existent. No-one came to take an order for drinks, we had to ask for water and go to the bar ourselves for our drinks.
We also thought that the seafood was tasteless. We invited a friend for his 80th Birthday and have been on these lunch cruises before and really enjoyed the food but this time it was very bland. So disappointing.
Product: All the seafood was very poor - completely lacked taste.

Service: Fantastic tour and Tour Guide was very knowledgeable. Good snacks
Product: Good value for money and excellent tour. Tour Guide very knowledgeable,

The whole crew was absolutely amazing! Everyone was so friendly and made this part of our honeymoon so awesome. They even brought out our dessert and sang to us! We would love to do this again!

Service: Friendly helpful staff
Product: Beautiful prawns and oysters,and a selection of other tasty foods.

Lovely lunch, the seafood was so fresh which is amazing!
But 1.45hrs can be a bit of rushed if it's your (your guest's) 1st visit to Sydney. 2.15hrs would be more realistic to allow passengers/visitors to better enjoy the ambience.

Service: Your booking staff was easy to deal with and informative. Upon arrival it was suggested to take photos first up on deck and then sit down to a leisurely lunch which we did and enjoyed. The only negative was I thought a bit more time would be good.
Product: The food was fresh and delicious.

Service: Excellent - from ease of booking online to the actual cruise. A very relaxing way to experience Sydney harbour with an enjoyable commentary and plenty of room on board to move around. Fun morning tea. Excellent introduction to Sydney for visiting friends.
Product: No issues - easy to book on line and collect tickets on day of cruise. comprehensive instructions provided.

Overall service and facilities were great. Commentary was also nice.

From the original booking for our group to going on the lunch cruise, the attention of the staff was fantastic.

Service: The service provided was amazing.
Product: Was registered for a Premium cruise but couldn't reach there on time. They swapped my ticket with the Normal story cruise instead but provided me all the services and food which I registered for, for the premium version. It was a pretty good gesture.

They did every thing well.the cruise took in all of the harbour, the meal was good and well presented, the drink just kept coming, and the staff were very professional. Great value for money.

Service: The staff were very friendly and caring and couldn't do enough to assist my mother in her wheelchair.
Product: Food was enjoyable but I would expect a more spectacular buffet on a cruise, particularly the desserts which were very ordinary slices.

Service: Very good boat trip, interesting stories and good service.
Product: straightforward booking procedure with easy paypal payment

Service: Very friendly & helpful staff.Food was good & plenty of variety.Boat was very spacious & comfortable but a little tired & could do with a revamp inside.
Product: Food was good & plenty of it but not excellent

Service: The staff were lovely. We had been 12 months prior and enjoyed our time so much we booked again. However this time I felt the variety of food was not as much and there was no commentary as we cruised around the harbour. I was disappointed with that as we took our daughter this time and there were foreign visitors also enjoying the lunch, but had no idea what they were looking at.
Product: It would have been nice to know what we were eating. There was a vegetable curry, that was a bit too spicey for my daughter. She put it on her plate not knowing exactly what it was. It would also have been nice to know what cheese was on the board. Tags please.

Service: Arrived/departed in a timely manner, the vessel was clean and tidy, good service by staff and they were polite, great commentary by the lady and was very thoughtful in suggesting seats. Great pace in sightseeing allowing plenty of chances for photos. Had a great time thanks!

Service: The sunset dinner cruise represented good value for money, and was well organised to fill the time nicely with the dinner and drinks. We received a pleasant surprise by being upgraded to window seats.

I would recommend the cruise to anyone.
Product: We phoned the purchase through as this was the easiest option to use.

Service: Great service from staff at King St Wharf. Even after they made an error, they were very apologetic and went to a lot of trouble to ensure the error was corrected.
Product: A nice buffet that I really enjoyed but it did not have any WOW factor.

Service: Excellent service from the staff on the cruise
Product: Good food and plenty of it

Service: The cruise left right on time. The staff were welcoming, friendly and professional. The buffet was fresh, delicious and plentiful. Overall the dining room was comfortable and clean. The ladies toilets were modern and clean. We had a lovely time. Thank you!
Product: A great variety of fresh and delicious food including the seafood. The amount of dessert choices were just right.

Service: Great service and a beautiful vessel.
Product: Great service and a very great price

My wife and I took the Premiym HarbourCruise at 2:15 on Mar 29th. Cruise itself was good. However, the female tour guide was very hard to hear especially when she lowered her voice throughout her presentation. Struggling to hear her took a lot of work (and often not successsful) and greatly diminished our enjoyment of the cruise. One of your staff members raised the volume a bit at my request but it only helped slightly.

Service: Staff were very lovely and couldn’t help enough. Food was delicious and ship was very tidy and clean.
Product: Well worth the money. Loved every minute

Service: The cruise and the ship are good. The narrator was considerably less informative than on previous cruises. His humor attempts got in the way of the information. And his comments were usually about what we had just passed, rather than what we, looking forward, were looking at.
Product: Food and beverage were minimal, besides the bubbly. The "flat white" was a short balck with a little milk.

I was taking O/S relatives on the trip and being elderly they were able to experience Sydney Harbour without too much walking and as the day was sunny they were able to get a good view. The following day was heavy rain and I hate to think what a very different experience it would have been with rain crashing against the windows,

Service: The ride was smooth, despite windy conditions and storms in the area. However, I was very disappointed, and somewhat disturbed, that NO SAFETY announcements were made during the cruise! Nothing about what to do in case of emergency, where the life vests and life rafts are located, etc. This is a HUGE miss in my opinion.
Product: We had excellent vegetarian entrees, and a very friendly server who chatted with us during the cruise. Food was served hot, and the dessert was excellent.

Service: great experience in general
Product: The Harbour Story experience was wonderful. We boarded easily, the staff were super friendly and efficient. We cruised around the magnificent harbour, enjoying coffee and Anzac biscuits, whilst listening to first class commentary. The guide pointed out important points and sites. She told us stories of pre-colonial, colonial and post colonial times. It was utterly fascinating, and excellent value for $45.00. The cruise lasted for two full hours and I could not recommend it more highly

Service: Pontualidade, otima infra estrutura de barco e de jantar e vista da cidade perfeita. @debbytour recomendou nao tem erro
Product: Toppppp, jantar otimo....

Loved it all!

Service: Everything was top class
Product: Very easy and quick very efficient

Service: Excellent service from staff and very good buffet
Product: Good variety but desserts were limited

Service: I had to change the date by one day and it was done by phone well
Product: Very good but it could have gone another half hour

Service was great the views from our window seats were excellent for myself and my two daughters from England a must for anybody visiting Sydney. A great ship Sydney 2000

Service: Enjoyed immensely the commentary
Product: A very good value cruise .

Service: Wonderful
Product: Not a seafood eater but enjoyed the other food

The cruise is fantastic, all our guest enjoyed it very much!

Service: Great service first time I had seen the Sydney harbour by boat very memorable
Product: Worth every penny my wife and I loved seeing the harbour from the water

Comfortable boat and good afternoon tea. Even in the rain it was a great trip, well commentated

Service: Very professional and helpful
Product: The seafood was fresh and plentiful

All round great experience. Staff helpful and polite. We had an American visitor with us and he was impressed by the knowledgeable presentation.

Service: The cruise was good, the service personnel very friendly and helpful. The only thing we were missing was the fish and the mussels, as noted in the pre-cruise pamphlet. Also, we would have wished for a bit more variety in the cheeses. Other than that, the food was very good, in particular the prawns and oysters
Product: The advertised fish and mussels were missing from the food on offer. Also, there was not much variety in the types of cheeses on offer. Everything else was fine.

Service: Value for money. Had friends from Canada with me and it gave good tour of harbour while enjoying a lovely meal
Product: Had an allergic reaction to the curry. But all other food excellent

Service: the buffet lunch was good and we were seated at window table which was very nice. We would have liked to have seen more of the harbour and less of Bangaroo
Product: the oysters were better than the prawns and the rest was good

Service: Very professional and friendly. Informative about Sydney Harbour. Perfect length for the tour. Got a sense of the history and current use of the area.
Product: Was happy to have preferred boarding and glass of sparkling wine. However no choice of biscuits and had impression there were more choices for Premium tour

Service: This was my second lunch cruise so I was more delighted than surprised by the friendly professionalism of all crew members.The food was excellent and abundant. I will be dining again.
Product: The range and quality of food were excellent. Table service was professional and unobtrusive.

Service: Very comfortable seating and pleasant staff. We did the 2hr premium Harbour cruise and had a lovely afternoon tea and sparkling wine on arrival on board. The P.A. system needs to be a bit louder as it was difficult to hear commentary at times.
Product: Excellent cruise. Interesting commentary

Harbour story premium is what we got tickets for online. I bought it for my parents and they had a good time! 👍

Service: The information given of Sydney harbour was excellent, we both enjoyed the company of other like minded people and the service from staff was great. Wendy especially enjoyed the cheese and biscuits washed down with the wine.
Product: Most reasonable in what you got for your dollar.

Service: Food availability - no dessert when went to eat and drink service non existent not even water
Product: As mentioned on previous comments

Great cruise! Great service! Loved the food!

Service: Wonderful welcome at wharf and on board the ship. Staff with a great attitude who enjoy their jobs and working with their customers. Seafood plus included in buffet with deserts n tea/coffee/ hot choc... and on our fabulous harbour. What amazing views. Met the blokes with the best jobs in Sydney...
Product: The picture says 100 words... and the food was so fresh and the supply continued. Excellent value for money.

Nice greeting on boarding, lovely glass of champagne what a great beginning.
My friends & I enjoyed the morning on the harbor , great commentary we learned a lot .
would highly recommend!

I needed to change my reservation as a visitor from US was delayed. No problem.
The commentary was most informative, I would not hesitate to take the cruise again

Service: Yes had a wonderful time service and food great would come back again for sure. Would recommend to anyone.
Product: Lovely fresh and delicious

Service: very well organised,plenty of room to move about the boat
Product: good commentary on all the land marks and history of Sydnet Harbour

Service: Amazed by the efficiency of the movement of ferries in and out of the terminal. It seems to run like clockwork. The help at the ticket office was very much appreciated. The lunch cruise was very good from beginning to end.
Product: Very good value for money

We had a relaxed afternoon with an excellent commentary. Everything was easy and comfortable from the on line booking to the boat, with very helpful staff to make sure things went smoothly. I recommend it completely.

Service: Great trip with lots of interesting local color.
Product: Great views of harbors and sites. Good way to spend a hoy Sydney afternoon.

Service: Very welcoming - great cruise narrator.
Product: Great value. Enjoyed the food box and beverages. The ride was smooth and the narration was entertaining and informative.

Service: I had booked for 36 people for my mums 60th birthday party. We have been on the Captain Cruise for the Seafood buffet lunch before which I was very impressed with, however, unfortunately this time I was extremely disappointed with the quality of food and the poor variety of food. I was extremely embarrassed in front of my friends and family making them pay $85 per head for terrible quality and terrible variety. A seafood buffet should include grilled fish, cold crabs or bugs, smoked salmon, oysters, and cold prawns. Unfortunately at this event, the only seafood offered was smoked salmon prawns and oysters. Also the non seafood options were terrible. The vegetable curry was awful, it was so obvious the veggies were from the frozen variety and their texture was tasteless and resembled cardboard. The salads were lacking substance and the roast ham was sliced roughly and was so salty.
I have enjoyed RSL food for 1/4 of the price over this buffet. It was so sad that mum didn't enjoy the food at her 60th birthday and I will never book an event or take the gamble that the quality will be as good as it used to be. It was way too expensive for the poor variety and so embarrassing for your lovely staff to be serving such a boring lunch.
Product: My above feedback will explain.

Service: Good variety of food. Pleasant crew. Good information for the tour.
Product: Great variety . Nice and hot.

Product: Everything was very satisfying

Lovely cruise and friendly staff!

Service: We both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and the food was wonderful lots of choices.
Product: Absolutly fabulous seafood lunch

We were greeted at arrival on board and shown to our table and our waitress was very attentive, pleasant and looked after us. She even made a birthday hat for me and added sparkles to my dessert, a lovely gesture. My only thoughts were there was no salt container on the table, no butter for our bread rolls and a coffee to finish off the meal would have been lovely, it should be included in the price and not an extra cost. Otherwise a very pleasant cruise & dinner.

Every Captain Cook cruise we have been on have given us exemplary service

Service: Good buffet, helpful friendly staff
Product: No shortage of food. Well stocked buffet good selection

Service: The service at the table was good but not exceptional. More help with drink service would have enhanced the experience.
Product: The quality of the seafood was first rate, although some people in our group felt that the replenishment of the serving plates was slow to happen, considering that the cruise only lasted two hours.

The full complement of desserts was not available to all of our group as these were not in great abundance and not replenished.

Great description of the harbour as we travelled in the afternoon premium cruise.

Product: I would have liked the option to add a beverage package onboard.

A great harbour cruise, with lovely morning refreshments. Well recommended.

Service: Everything was very well organised and staff extremely friendly, made you feel welcome on board.
Yes would recommend to friends and family. Certainly will be looking at other outings for ourselves.
Product: Ordered on line and printed the said docs. However, there was no mention of having to go to the office at C.Q to pick up a boarding pass. Paperwork said to have copy of the email confirmation.
Whilst we found this out from a fellow passenger whilst waiting for the boat, others had to rush up at the last minute to get theirs.

Outside speakers were not working so people on the deck of the boat could not hear the guide.

Food and service was great but the commentary was very hard to hear

Service: Great boat with choice of seats so we had front window seats. We had priority boarding with a glass of champagne, cappuccino coffees and lovely cakes and snacks for morning tea. Good tour of the harbour. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Product: Very good. Comments as before.

We were welcomed aboard by SARAH who delivered an excellent and friendly commentary and were well looked after by ? Aresh . My husband and I learn something different or new each time we are with Captain Cook cruises . Overall everything was enjoyable barring the rude ,talkative and loud AAT travellers unfortunately sitting nearby.
My friends who took the cruise on the Monday were also delighted I had informed them of the cruise .

Service: The food was excellent. The groups that attended were interesting to talk with, and the harbour spectacle is always worth raving about.
Product: Good food, very well presented

Service: The crew were very good. The English/ Australian guide was excellent.
The food and drinks were also very good.
Captain Cook provides great tours and this one is up there at the top
Product: We were able to tour in seniors week and we were comfortable with the cost for all we received. Once again I would emphasise the interesting commentary

Service: The cruise around the harbour was good, but we could have been inform in regards to the lunch arrangement.
Product: Seafood lunch was o.k., but we could have been informed of proceedings for getting our lunch.

Most Definitely would recommend, service was excellent

Value for money

Service: Absolutely loved the engaging storytelling! We enjoyed it so much, that we will definitely be bringing the kids next time!
Product: With whats included definitely worth the price!

Service: Left on time and the information presented was interesting
Product: the price was right and it was relaxing

Service: The Sydney Harbour story cruise was great, full of information past and present, presented well and appropriate for all ages. The staff were lovely, kind and considerate.


I would be happy to take the cruise again and hopefully bring friends and relatives next time.
Product: The trip had a special price for Seniors to celebrate the 2019 Seniors Festival. The reduced price was very good value for money.

Service: The commentary was first class and very informative. Learnt a lot about the history of our harbour
Product: I would do the trip again

The personnel experience was excellent from the person selling the tickets in the booth to the staff on the boat. The stories and feedback given during the cruise was informative and interesting.
I would recommend the experience.

Service: Excellent staff. Great service on board and a very interesting commentary which focused on the history of the harbour. Previous cruises have concentrated on tourist sites most of which are self evident. EG: We don't need to be told "that is the Opera House".
Product: Good value; comfortable vessel

Service: Booking for 35 was a simple process and the seating was perfect. The food was very delicious and plentiful.

Product: Seafood was great. It did not run out as well.

Service: Yes i certainly would,the service was fantastic.
Product: The food was beautiful and plentiful.

Service: Terrible food all frozen in boxes NOT WORTH the money . The Boat ride was good but way way over priced for what you get not what it advertised at all
Product: The afternoon tea food was frozen and we couldn't eat it and it wasn't what is advertised at all

Lovely cruise. Beautiful boat and friendly staff with delicious cocktails.
It was advertised as a seafood buffet however there was only smoked salmon and cold prawns as the seafood - no fresh fish or scallops or any other seafood. Only chicken and curry and rice and salad. I was disappointed, as I’m pescatarian (I don’t eat meat, only fish) and also celiac so I can’t have gluten - which meant I was limited to smoked salmon and salad and a couple prawns.

The lady who did the commentary was fabulous. We really enjoyed ourselves. Can highly recommend!

Service: The cruise and staff very nice, lunch light on!!
Product: Enjoyed the morning, interesting commentary, enjoyed the champagne, lunch not great

Service: Wonderful experience with friendly staff n variety food
Product: Excellent food nice service

Service: The service on the cruise by the buffet staff was excellent - the bar staff seemed a little lost at first - could not find drink lists and had to wait for someone to come and help when we paid cash. The greeting staff were good but allowed large groups of overseas tourist on before others who were in the queue. All tables see allocated so I couldn’t see why they had to have precedence over other guests.
Product: Good variety, continuously replenished know one would have gone hungry.

Very courteous staff and very obliging when asked for assistance.

Extremely good value for money. We had an overseas visitor so the commentary was also a good option, as well as the diverse meal.

Service: Good.
Product: Good service and choice of food.

This was a great sunset dinner cruise!
My mother was visiting from the US, and it was such a wonderful experience to see Sydney at night this way. I highly recommend this dinner cruise as it was definitely good value for the price.

Food good but main course things like oysters (superb) ran out a little too quickly.

Very interesting & informative, friendly crew.

I thoroughly enjoyed the lunch experience on board. Everything was as I was expecting it to be! Beautifully presented with helpful waiters/waitresses. The commentary was most interesting giving me information I had not known about. It was a beautiful day and the sailing was very smooth.

Service: From purchasing tickets online to the lovely food and quick service to our seats once on board, this was very good.

The only down side was the 'circus' in getting aboard. Signage was not available to say that seafood buffet patrons were to gather at the bow of the vessel, and the other type of cruise were to gather towards the stern. An employee of the company (who was patient and trying his best) was assailed by many patrons requiring clarification with lots of shouting of directions and inability to be heard. Felt like being herded like animals...this could have been better handled to have a better experience.
Product: The seafood was very fresh, and there was lots of it, near empty trays were replenished regularly, there was a good choice of other food to pick from. The vegetable curry was particularly good.
Was not made aware that there was a coffee machine and filtered coffee available in another area.

Service: Very friendly and good value
Product: lots of information I did not know which added to the cruise experience

Service: Absolutely wonderful - very courteous and helpful. The morning tea served was sensational. A most enjoyable morning spent with Captain Cook Cruises.
Product: Wonderful. Most enjoyable - would love to do it again sometime soonl

Service: The service was excellent and professional. Would definitely come back.
Product: I think it was a really good price for the service that was offered

Our cruise was really enjoyable, the service from staff was friendly and very efficient. Particularly good was the commentary which was informative and funny at times adding hugely to the cruise. (was it Judy?)

Service: It was a lovely day and my group enjoyed the cruise on the bay very much but all eight of us were dismayed about the quality of the food on offer.
We were expecting freshly baked scones, sandwiches or some other quality snack instead we were offer awful and unhealthy food inside a carton box!!.
We were ashamed on behalf of the tourists on the boat and starved instead of eating the rubbish.
Product: Not very easy to find what we were looking for

Very nice and interesting trip with a knowledgeable and friendly guide.
I would recommend the tour (I chose the premium variation) to anyone.
I think it’s a must do, to get a better understanding about history and the impressive dimensions of the harbor.
