The whole experience was marvelous
From the Master Chef onboard to All Staff, making our cruise very memorable

Beautiful harbour cruising - even on a rainy day - excellent food, friendly help for a person with mobility problems (2 flights of stairs ! ) wait staff most cordial ,but not too attentive to detail. The perfect place to see our harbour, thank you.

Service: Highly recommend.
Product: Delicious meal, and service.

Service: Convenient purchase on-line, on time departure, courteous staff, good service, excellent food and good drink selection..
Product: Good food options but not broad menu. Well-presented, flavoursome food. Adequate drink selection. Friendly and efficient service.

Service was prompt and courteous

From the moment on board our host V was good humoured and hospitable. The cruise was very comfortable, meal very good quality and the drinks flowed making this experience worth every cent. Brilliant Sydney!

service was good
food was excellent
music was good

Service: The service was excellent. Very warm and friendly staff that went out of their way to please.
Product: The night was really worth it. We did the Gold Penfolds Dinner and the wines were really good and the food was delicious. We were in a dreamland with the live singer - she was wonderful. The whole experience was gorgeous and I would highly recommend it, particularly for a romantic night out.

Fantastic experience cruising the Sydney Harbour! Great food, friendly and helpful staff.

Very enjoyable cruise, helpful and friendly staff. excellent qualiry and value 3 course lunch and wine.

Service: Excellent service provided by the staff. Friendly and approachable. They even waited an additional 5 mins so that one of the group members (who was delayed) was able to make it for the cruise on time.

The only area of improvement would be the choice for vegetarian options. The entrée and dessert was good, however the main was not very enjoyable. Maybe consider other options. Thank you
Product: Easy to book and great discounts provided for large groups

Great service and fantastic food.

Service: Great service. Food was incredible. Boat was immaculate
Product: Dinner was beautiful. Beef tenderloin cooked to perfection. Great range in the menu

I wanted to acknowledge Elmer (our waiter) for his kindness towards my mother who was struggling up the stairs. He came to her assistance unsolicited, demonstrating care and courtesy and helping an old lady feel respected. Thank you Elmer.

good

Great cruise with lovely food and staff.

Service: Overall experience was great, Only improvement would be the selection of spirits available as the whiskey was average.
Product: Price and service was great

It was awesome! The service was also great! Thank you!!!

Excellent service
Really enjoyed the dinner


Would recommend more R & B music

It was a very relaxing afternoon. The food was delicious and l would have expected the same dish in a 5 star restaurant.
Great value! Wonderful views!

Service: The service was wonderful as was the menu and cruise the only reason not 5 stars we had to wait on a very cold wharf for over 30 minutes as the boat was late in picking passengers up
Product: Great staff and menu choices, good value

Service: We enjoyed the service of the staff and the band was very good. The food was good but not excellent, the lamb shanks were very tough and not falling of the bone. They were not enjoyable to eat. A little more attention to detail would have made it a lot better. The photographer seemed like he was just doing a job and was not careful with the photos he was taking. If he had viewed the shots he had taken, he would have realized that they were not worth buying and he would have re taken the photos. we would have purchased more photos if the shots were decent.
Product: I felt the cost was a little high for the time we were on the dinner cruise. I expected the same amount of time as a Saturday evening. Our overseas guests enjoyed the cruise and the views but would have enjoyed a little more time on the harbour.

Service: Pleasant environment and great service with friendly staff. Well done
Product: easy to find and the staff was great on the phone when I asked to upgrade my purchase

Fabulous

Service: The staff were excellent and looked after us for the 3 hours we were on board. Would recommend the trip to everyone.
Product: A few extra vegetables would have been nice.

The harbour was beautiful but the service made us feel like we were on a production line. There was not a lot of warmth or interest in customers other than to feed us and clear away the plates, in our opinion.

Ensure that the waiters don’t get the order wrong as he did with me on more than one occasion. If cooking beef tenderloin to a medium request, that it is cooked right through and not raw in the middle as was mine. I actually fainted and vomited my food because of my inability to digest the raw meat.

Service: La comida ha sido excelente. Hubiese deseado tener más información sobre los beneficios de cada una de las opciones disponibles para el momento de la compra de los boletos.

Aún cuando he quedado muy satisfecho con la experiencia, en general, estoy muy seguro que de haber optado por el almuerzo en la parte superior de la embarcación, hubiese sido una experiencia aún más grata.
Product: Muy buena experiencia, pero hubiese deseado tener mayor información sobre las opciones disponibles al momento de comprar.

Service: Celebrating my mother’s 90th birthday - overall we had a great day, once we were on! The info on the website was a bit hard to follow and finding the actual wharf where the boat left could have been better communicated. We only just made it onto the boat in time.
Product: Celebrating my mother’s 90th birthday - overall we had a great day. Could have had a really awesome day!.

Excellent delicious food promptly delivered.
Very comfortable dining setting with great views from every angle.

Service: The service was fantastic and the food and wines (Penfolds) excellent. Special consideration to mobility issues also much appreciated.

Product: Great experience, great staff, great boat, great food. Would definitely do again!

Excellent, beautful views, great service and a fun night!

Service: The staff were very attentive without being intrusive. We could not fault our Long Lunch cruise with Captain Cook Cruises. From the food to the service it was a most enjoyable day. Thank you.
Product: It's great value for money.

They dinner was good but the instructions were leaving and the woman I spoke to on the phone and the woman at the booth were quite rude.

The food and wine was excellent. I thought it was especially marketed towards tourists but I should have expected it. Overall a great night

Service: Excellent 👍👍👍
Product: Excellent food 👍👍👍 the best

Service: Staff were excellent, menu was great, cruise was fantastic, day was the best.

Service: Excellent service with the friendliness of staff!! Our waitress was very charismatic and made us laugh
Product: The food was amazing on the dinner cruise and they catered to our dietary needs exceptionally!

Service: Very easy to make and manage booking with responsive online and text updates.
Product: Lovely food, well presented and quite tasty. Had booked for buffet but was changed to Long Lunch by Captain Cook Cruises. This ok by us. Service was competent and will likely get better with increasingly experienced staff.

Service and ambiance was excellent

Service: absolutely Awesome
Product: Great service great staff

Service: We didn’t like:
The beer was flat and warm.
The Champagne was Unpalatable.
The entree of ravioli was under cooked.

The steak, it was good.

According to my passengers the cruise, meals and service could not be faulted, Well Done . Regards Washington Vinoles Mobile Manager Itravel

A good evening sailing around the harbour, we boarded at Darling Harbour to find people that had boarded at Circular Quay already eating their meals. Staff seemed rushed to get passengers to choose their food from the menu, service was also haphazard, we were nearly served our mains before our starters, had to ask for butter for our rolls.
Attention to detail and more of a structured approach would be great, I appreciate that there were quite a few aboard but not overbooked by any means.
Food was fine as again catering for a lot of people.

Service: Our waitress, Laksmi, was very professional and so approachable. Her manners were impeccable. She made us feel at home and very special.
Product: The food presentation was great and the wine selection a perfect accompaniment.

Service: We paid $50 to have window seats, then the people on the next table asked to move to a window seat, sure enough they got moved to the table just behind us for $0. So I guess don’t pay $50 just take the chance and see if you can be moved.
Product: We paid $50 for window seats, when there was no need to all you need to do is asked to be moved.

Service: Very good
Product: I appreciated the fact that due to my wife being unable to join the Cruise, the cost of her ticket was transferred to the Bar Tab. A splendid outcome.

Service: The visual experience was spectacular but the dining experience was underwhelming.The medium rare steak was overdone and quite dry.I commented about this to the lady who served us but there was no offer to rectify the situation.Her English was poor and she may not have understood.Cooking a steak is not rocket science and I am surprised that the task was beyond the so called chef.I thought that a coffee would be supplied in the cost of the meal.It was not.I received an instant coffee for $4.00.That's right...an instant coffee!If I was rating this on the food alone it would probably rate 1.5 stars.
Product: I already did.To summarise the medium rare steak was closer to well done and was dry and the coffee was an extra charge when it arrived was intant coffee not brewed.Also all staf should be able to communicate well in English.

My husband and I enjoyed a Captain's Dinner cruise in Sydney. We had amazing evening. Live music and food were great, staff was very friendly, exceptional service. I would defiantly recommend this cruise. I also recommend to pay extra for a guaranteed window seating, it worth is.
(Do not agree to have your photos taken if you are not going to buy them printed for $12 per picture).

Service: Excellent night! Food was great and Edward was our amazing attendant, can't speak highly enough of him. Thanks!
Product: Excellent food, great wine, lovely atmosphere.

Service: Service was excellent, also the singer and the choice of music was the best.
Product: Service was excellent, also the singer and the choice of music was the best

Dinner Cruise (9/9/18): We had an amazing time, and want to in particular thank our waitress Cecelia. A few waitresses attended our table and all were great, but it seemed that Cecelia was our designated waitress and she was our main contact with the wait team. It was my mother’s 65th birthday and the whole crew (including the musicians) made it special, with the wait staff telling the band to sing happy birthday, and co-ordinating it with the kitchen to have a cake and candle brought out at the same time. I realise that this is probably standard operating procedure, but it was executed perfectly, and there were also a whole host of smaller details too numerous to catalogue that just made the night perfect. The drinks came to our table quickly, our questions were answered with a smile, and everything was just smooth and relaxed and the ambiance created by the staff was spot on. Thanks for a great night.

Very good and with an excellent hostess ( V*** from Indonesia) made it a very enjoyable evening

Service: 훌륭한 서빙과 음식은 좋았으나 충분한 설명과 선택권이 없는 사진촬영과 사진구매는 당황스러웠어요
Product: 허니문의 환상적인 이벤트로써 손색이 없었어요.

Service: Couldn’t find fault- staff, service & food was excellent. Would buy again & would certainly recommend to others for a special event.
Product: Everything was perfect - would buy again and recommend to others

Service: Personnel takes care of the passengers, meal was outstanding, boat was clean, the guide was very good, a marvelous experience for my wife and me

Product: The dinner was to die for! Absolutely amazing!

Service: The service was first class. The staff were very friendly. I would recommend anyone to take the dinner cruise!
Product: The food was to die for. Thank u very much captain cook Cruises

The quality of the food was excellent as was the service. Very happy with the cruise.

Service: We bought the lunchtime cruise for Louise and Marty as a special gift for them, visiting from Adelaide for their birthdays. They were overwhelmed with the excellent service they received from all the friendly staff on board. We wanted to do something special for them considering they'd never been on a harbour cruise in Sydney before and the experience was everything we could have hoped for. They also appreciated the insights provided by the commentary and felt it was a great addition to their experience. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a great way to experience the beauty that Sydney has to offer.
Product: Decent value, our parents really enjoyed the food and remarked on the great quality of each course.

Best best best. Food has really improved and its better than before. The service was greaaaaat.

Service: Service was reasonable although slow to renew drinks, possibly because we were on a pre-paid drinks package.
Product: The photos on your website display tables with white table linen and I thought the presentation of the table was much like a coffee shop or cafe rather than a premium dining experience that was advertised on the web page. It was overpriced for the food that was served. The pumpkin/sweet potato entree was quite plain with no flavour as was the beef noodle entree. The beef main was lovely, however the lamb shanks tasted so much like bottled mixed herbs that it was overpowering and my guest didn't eat it any of it. The dessert was coffee shop standard. The service was reasonable although service of drinks was slow (most likely because we were on a pre-paid bar package). We bought the premium drinks package and thought it included spirits - the website was a little confusing in that regard - that's the only reason we chose premium was because we thought it included spirits. So our drinks package really didn't cover the drinks we received as we ended up buying spirits because one guest has an allergy to wine. A few glasses of wine each for the rest of our party, I thought was overly expensive for the price of that package as well. The ladies toilets were dirty, with vomit in one toilet and no toilet paper in two of the three cubicles and the floor and area just looked dirty with water and toilet paper around the place on the floor. The views were amazing, but I must say I wish I had of chosen another cruise option. I feel it was advertised as a luxurious experience, which it was not.

Service was poor. Had to ask for bread rolls and main course. We disembarked the boat an hour earlier as the experience was not enjoyable due to poor service.

Service: Nice meal, nice views, nice trip
Product: Nice meal. Nice location.

Service: Fabulous night. Delicious food and excellent service.
Product: Everything was excellent and well above expectations.

Service: Was not on the ship scheduled. Cruise was late, ship was cold, food not very good. We were taken to a different dock than the original even though we were told by staff it was the same. Left us stranded. We had to find a taxi to take us to our hotel.
Product: It was really really not good since you want more characters

Service: We had a lovely relaxing day cruising the harbour with excellent service and fabulous food when we purchased the long lunch option from the Captain Cook cruise website. Highly recommend!
Product: Lovely menu choices and perfectly presented

Service: From my ticket purchase to our greeting on boarding to the beautiful food and friendly staff . It was an amazing afternoon.
Product: I did a phone booking with immediate email acknowledgment.
I also receive a very quick response to a special request .

Service: We have been on many dinner cruises around the world and this has to be amongst the best, if not the best.

The food is sublime, it would not be out of place in a high quality restaurant.

The waiter was friendly and attentive, without being in your face.

The vessel is well appointed and the views stunning.

I would thoroughly recommend this dinner cruise
Product: Great food, great atmosphere brilliant staff.

Absolutely nothing to fault at all.

Lovely staff and fillet was tender and cooked to perfection

Service: Food was fantastic, staff extremely friendly, views both from table and external are amazing, would recommend experience to friends and colleagues.
Only downfall was paying for drinks package and service of drinks was slow, paid for premium service which was lacking. Obviously also know now that Circular Quay is the location to start your cruise as Darling Harbour robs you of 1 hour cruise time, would of been nice to know this in advance or change the route so Darling Harbour is where the cruise finishes, therefore giving all passangers exactly the same cruise time !!!
Product: Food 5 Star
Drinks 3 Star, as above Premium service but lacked service, awaiting refills all night

We were most impressed by this Cruise. Very tasty, well prepared and served food with finesse and style. Waitress was very friendly, attentive and gave excellent service. Accompanying Penfold wines were well matched with each food course. Lovely window seating. Only reservation was we felt that the evening meal with drinks was a little rushed. 2.5hrs was not enough time. Cruise should have been atleast another 1hour duration.
Music whilst dining with volcalist added to the evening cruise.
A really memorable and great experience.

Service: Long lunch menu was value for money - 3 courses X 3 choices is in line with Sheraton / Westin/ Intercontinental.
Staff attentive, efficient & courteous - went the extra yard not only for my wife's birthday ( sparkler on her desert & sang happy birthday to her) but also to the couples either side celebrating wedding anniversaries ( sparklers on both dessert & verbal congratulations).
As I am still recovering from pulling both hamstrings they could see my wife's concern about the 24 steps down the toilet. They took the effort to check on me , without my being aware, & then advised her I was OK.
Product: As indicated above the standard of the 3 courses X 3 choices was comparable to Sheraton/ Westin / Intercontinental main restaurants & at discounted $79 PP good value while the full price of $99 PP is of comparable value.

excellent food, great service and a beautiful atmosphere

Service: We had a lovely experience, our waiter Joey was very attentive.
Product: We had a lovely experience, our waiter Joey was very attentive, the live entertainment was great.

I had to call to make a booking as the is no option for infants online. I was assured that I could have a highchair for my 8 month old only to be told that they only offer a booster seat which was far too small for her to reach the table.
Whilst this was unpleasant, the service we received was great. They offered to move our table due to a large rowdy group next to us and the food was superb. Despite a rocky start, the whole 3.5hr cruise was a lovely day out.

The cruise was lovely... great food, great service, great atmosphere and great wine. Only think I could complain about is the weather outside... but that is certainly not something that could be controlled!

Service: Wonderful day absolutely will be recommending to all. Specially recommend the service it was fantastic.
Product: Excellent day and well worth the price. Would do it again without hesitation

Service: We really enjoyed the 3 course meal and a lovely cruise around the harbour
Would recommend it to anyone
Cheers
Product: A great experience one for the memory bank!!

Excellent food...service!! Definitely recommended....

Service was great. Food was delicious.

Service: Very friendly informative service. The wait staff explained the extra time on the cruise well which gave us the opportunity to have a rest before desert was served. Decaffinated coffee was found and served. We got some nice photos taken.
Product: Enjoyed the salmon. It was great to have a vegetarian option for our guests.

Service: Excellent staff service. Easily wheelchair accessible, which we required. Had the whole lower deck to ourselves but never once felt left out on the evenings events.
Product: Food was beautiful! Melt in your mouth!

Service: We have been on many a Captain Cook dinner Cruise and this was a Monday night and was a smaller gathering than usual.
We didn't find the service as attentive as in the past and thought maybe because it was a Monday and a smaller group that there wasn't the same energy from the staff.

We also paid extra for a Window seat but also saw a lot of window seats not being used and remembered in the past as a couple that being offered a window seat as a lovely gesture.

We have lovely memories of the Captain Cook cruises as I proposed to my wife on the top deck on New Years Eve.

We will definitely be back we were just a little disappointed.
Product: I think it's great value for money

シドニーの夜景、船内ライブ、ディナー
すべて素敵でした。

Service: It just wasn’t a pleasant experience. Had a guest from overseas. The waitress was lovely but the drinks waiter insisted we have a bottle not two glasses and of course we left wine behind because I had to drive. My fault for not standing my ground, but he did keep insisting so we said yes to shut him up. The singer was awful, the singing was out of tune and drove my guest to the point he had to go outside. We did a lot of things during his three week visit and the dinner cruise was our worst experience. Sorry to say these things, in the end we were laughing it was so unpleasant.
Product: The food was adequate....

Service: The service was outstanding. Really enjoyable.
Product: Efficient in all aspects.

Service: Have purchased long lunch tickets for my mother and I on line three times now and have had no issues . The on line discount is also a bonus, food delicious - so thanks.
Product: Experience & Price are both great

Service: FOOD WAS NOT AS GOOD AS PREVIOUS TIME
Product: FOOD WAS NOT GOOD AS PREVIOUS CRUSIS
ENTRE WAS COLD

Service: Our long lunch was FANTASTIC, the food & service was great, best Stakes we have had in Australia in the last 10 years, the whole cruise from start to finish was perfect, we will do it again and recommend the cruise to all our friends.
Product: Fantastic Sydney 2000 cruiser, followed by the food & staff, making it a wonderful day out.

Food was delicious and the singer was also excellent! I love a photographer as well! Unfortunately only the waitress was not friendly.

Setting and Facilities were top notch
Qualilty of food was good, not great
Quality of service during dinner was mediocre

Service: Service was great, staff friendly and setting spectacular. The only area where the experience was lacking was in the food department. The menu could have benefitted from more options, and preparation and presentation of the food could have been more adventurous.
Product: Food needs work, as mentioned previously.

Wonderful staff, thank you for a great day.

It was my first time I went for dinner cruise, It was really nice. Will come back soon :)

Overall service was excellent. Me and my family Would like to thank all the staff of Captain Cook Cruises for their excellent service and the band for their beautiful easy listening music We have a great time.
Ronnie Dandan

The food was nice, but I felt like because I rode alone, the wait staff didn’t pay as much attention to me. I also thought the music (80s hits) didn’t match the vibe of the cruise and was a little obnoxious. The views were nice and I liked that rode past places multiple times so I could get plenty of pictures.

Service: Vivienne our was wonderful and entertained our grandchildren and provided excellent service to our family.
Product: Food was nice although serving adult size food to our grandchildren was a waste.

Product: The food was excellent. Wi down seating is essential to take photos of the harbor. Staff was very friendly.

On time, great service entree and main was delicious but the dessert (lemon tart) is so bad, its not even edible, please change the recipe. Othwerise everything else was very nice.

We had a lovely dinner cruise with Captain Cook lines out of Circular Quay, Sydney. We had a window table and fantastic views. Food was good, service excellent!

Service: We were welcomed onboard by friendly crew. The boat was beautifully presented and we were impressed with the paintings of the first fleet displayed on the staircase up to the dining area. We were given a window seat with a fantastic view of Sydney harbour and served an extremely tasty 3 course meal. Our food arrived at appropriate times throughout the trip and the food and beverage staff were very friendly and efficient. The boat travelled very smoothly and we barely felt like we were moving at all. The whole 2 hour trip was a truly great way to celebrate my birthday and I would recommend the cruise to everyone!
Product: I had salmon for starters, roast duck for main course and a delicious chocolate mouse for dessert. All theee courses were extremely tasty!

Service: I am unsure of the lady's name who served our table but she went above and beyond to accomodate our group of 10 people for my mums 60th birthday. I can't fault any of the staff on the day please pass on my thanks to your team for making our day better than we could have imagined. We will definitely be back! Thanks again
Chris
Product: Food portions were a good size and the main meal steak was unbelievable

Service: The meal was excellent, but the service was a bit slow. Some of the staff were hard to understand.
A wonderful way to spend an afternoon on the world's best harbour
Product: A good choice, and the meal was cooked perfectly. The steak was very tender, and the lemon and lime tart really finished off the meal

Service: Booked this cruise for my parents. Everything went perfect. From initial enquiry to the cruise. Brilliant
Product: Great staff benefits absolutely awesome experience

Great service!

we had a great time and would come back to do it again love it very much service first class meals awesome

The food was exceptional, we were pleasantly surprised by the size of the portions and it was delicious.

Service: Staff were very helpful and polite. Food was delicious.
Unfortunately we had to go up and down 2 flights of stairs to get to the toilets. They were crowded and filthy. i advised a staff member so hopefully this was dealt with promptly.
Product: Excellent food and service.

Presentation and service was excellent

Service: The Welcome and service was great, however we were taken to the top of the ship with a welcome drink and left there by ourselves, (it was extremely cold) when the waitress bought canapes to us we asked to go down stairs.

Food was beautiful and the waitress was very friendly and lovely.

Dinner / night cruise was not what we expected, we couldn't see a lot as it was dark and the windows reflected the inside of the ship.

We would cruise again, but perhaps sunset.
Product: Very Nice, smaller meals sizes.

well thought out pairing with the wine. food cost at roughly $200.00 more for the cruise is a bit steep.

Great service, excellent food. Thumbs up!

Friendly, approachable and good service

Service: Fabulous service by the waitress, she was warm and welcoming and extremely attentive.
Product: The service, views and food were all amazing. The cruise would be better in daylight as you would see more. I would absolutely reccomend this to anyone looking for a night out to explore what Sydney has to offer.

Service: It was absolutely fantastic, and would do it again tomorrow.

Good staff and great service

Service: Our waiteress was lovely. Couldn’t have been more friendly and accomodating.
Product: We’ve been on this cruise a year ago and the food seemed to be better then than this time

Service: Staff were very pleasent
Product: relaxed and peaceful time

Service: It was terrific, very friendly, fast, food was delicious
Product: Great selections a lot of variety and was all very well prepared and delivered promptly

Everything was great. The reason a 4 rather than 5 staff didn’t know whether wines were dry or sweet. Requested a rose sparkling, and asked them to check first if it was dry / brut. If sweet bring the welcome sparkling. They brought the sweet but quickly changed it when I asked them.

I would definitely recommend captains dinner with upgraded wines.

We had a fantastic experience. We were a party of 9. The food was great. The drinks were great. The service was fantastic. The only improvement we would suggest was that the music could have been a little better and modern. Otherwise through could not fault the experience. We had a ball!

FOOD AND SERVICE VERY GOOD.PERHAPS CRUISE COULD HAVE GONE FURTHER DOWN THE HARBOUR INSTEAD ON DOING 2 LAPS.

Service: What they did wrong.

Communication, MINUS ONE.
Tired to organise a birthday cake, seemed impossible, as no communication back from answer phone, and COMPLETE INABILITY to talk to anyone.

Food better than expected.

Shuffle between pick up and drop offs, longer and more than expected, but not a complaint Reality I guess.
Product: iN ADVANCE 100 PERCENT TOO LONG, ESPECIALLY AS BOAT HALF EMPTY, ON OUR LEVEL.

The entree and main courses were lukewarm

Service: Should have some entertainment in place
Photographer should tell the customer that their will be a cost of photo before taking the photos.
Product: Food was okay, served very quickly

Service is excellent. I do the Gold dinner cruise every time i am in Sydney and cannot recommend it highly enough.

We were a large group and we're welcomed on board the Starlight Dinner Cruise by friendly staff. The 3 course dinner was well presented and tasty. The vegetarian main could have been more interesting (quinoa veggie patties with steamed vegetables), but all other options were very good. Wait staff were very attentive for the first two hours of the cruise. Thanks for a great night.

Service: Excellent 5 star experience, staff were great food was great would highly recommend.
Product: Excellent experience, great staff great food perfect location of beautiful views of Sydney. The drinks were great.

Service: I was very dissapointed with the Captains Dinner Cruise we went on during the vivid festival. I took my elderly mother who is slow and gets tired but the staff loading the passengers were inconsiderate and just rude. I asked for assistance with my mother and was told that no help was available. The same when we entered the boat and realised we needed to go up two flights of very steep stairs - again no help offered and one staff member actually rolled their eyes. T he cruise is clearly not accessible for anyone with limited mobility - this should be made clear on the web page.
The singer was so loud it was really hard to hear ourselves talking - she was also relentless. There is only so many Celine Dion covers that can be sung before it just becomes annoying.
The dinner itself was also very dissapointing. Our main meals came out at different times (not just a few minutes) and when mine and my mothers came out it was stone cold. The senior waiter did take them back and gave us a new hot meal and a complimentary glass of wine and was apologetic but by then the evening was pretty much ruined.
This is not an inexpensive evening with gthe dinner and cruise costing $155 per headplus drinks.
Overall a really dissapointing evening on what was meant to be a really special occasion for my mother.
Product: Overpriced. Cold dinner, rude staff at loading and annoying singer.

Crew helped made a excellent experience, loved the whole trip and food just awesome!
I'll be back for sure!

Excellent service and food.

Service: Lovely food though had to ask for bread and more water.
The wine we selected was "unavailable" offered a bottle $10 more.
$69 for a ONE year old wine!!
Product: Good food, VERY expensive (one year old) wine.

Service: Excellent service and food and a very comprehensive view of the Vivid lights
Product: Excellent - good choice of dishes

Service: Amazing
Product: Efficient,tasty,professional

Service: Excellent service throughout the evening. Really enjoyed my first two courses however the dessert was a little disappointing - order the orange & chocolate flourless cake & it was well and truly more orange than chocolate which was disappointing.
Product: Good value. Disappointed the Vivid cruise didn't go in near the botanic gardens to see the Vivid lights in there, but the boat may have been too big.

Service: The crew made us feel welcome and special guests.

Product: Good variety of meals and drinks. All the meals and drinks we had tasted great; a better standard than we were expecting. Meals were nicely presented. Service was excellent. It was also a nice touch to be given a free glass of champagne at the beginning of the meal; it added a festive mood to the experience.

Totally recommend this cruise the staff were friendly and so organised to be able to serve everyone at the same time, a relaxed atmosphere where we could enjoy each other’s company and the entertainment The food was delicious my steak had amazing flavours and to top this cruise off The Vivid show was on ... perfect for us as we were celebrating 3 milestones my 60th & my 2 daughters 40ths

Service: Friendly professional staff , lovely cruise
Product: Excellent service , priority entry with reserved seating

One of the best things I've ever done! Couldnt have asked for a better night!

Food average and fast service, band absolutely awful and far too loud, strip lights on the Windows made viewing of the Vivid lights difficult (the only reason we booked the cruise) AND you should pre explain that the boat is available to board from 7pm and the Kings Wharf is different from Bangaroo as we found several people waiting at the wrong pier. All in all a complete waste of an evening.

Service: quitely charming
Product: while the mnagement response was fantastic, the actual wine selection was extremely poor. The meal in itself was adequate but not impressive

Service: Fantastic, Had a great time. Food sensational, entertainment great and service was exceptional.Thanks
Product: Good value for a truly unique experience

The bar option is a waste of money. The wines are terrible only the sav blanc is drinkable. Was expecting something better. Should've bought the Gold Penfold Dinner again instead.

Service: The cruise was overpriced for what we got.
The service was poor - staff botched the order and gave my husband the wrong dish. They were intrusive and 'hovering' at the beginning when we were not ready to order and absent when we tried to order drinks later on. We did the Captains dinner, which was supposed to be the premium experience, but the dinner was served cold and I've had better meat from a tin can. Strangely the premium experience does not include wine like the standard package does (so I have no idea how they can justify charging more and providing less). There was no views to speak of (we did the Vivid tour). The only good thing was the entertainment - the singer was lovely.

Service: The food and table service were average (some aspects even below average) overall. I had a steak (which was quite good) but the vegetables were well below expectations. My wife also said that her meal was 'pretty unappealing'. The attendant on our table seemed 'distracted', although the young lady who brought out some of our meal was much more enthusiastic.
Based on our experience I would be unlikely to recommend the experience to friends. We were also looking forward to the Vivid experience but have to say our taxi driver was correct in that it was a 'bit over-rated'. Best of luck for future cruises.
Product: Refer to my previous comments!

Service: Great
Product: Great steak no cheese available

Excellent food and wine selection and excellent service,, we had a top notch experience 👍👍

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening, the staff were warm, friendly and efficient. The meal first class and the accompanying wines were suitably matched to all of the courses.
We appreciated the music and it added to the whole experience.

We look forward to our next cruise with your company.

Service: Food was very delicious and music was good. The sight fo Sydney was fantasitic.

Although we booked a LONG LUNCH, we had completed our meal and been given our drinks bill by the end of the first round. We got the feeling that they wanted us off the boat then, rather than provide service for the second round.

Service: Vert friendly & efficient staff, first class service, great food & wine.
Product: See information described on previous comments.

気遣いもサービスも最高でした。何よりシドニーの夜景を一望できていい一日になりました。
また利用したいと思います。

Service: Amazing cruise, food and wine. Great way to see Vivid.
Product: Food on board is exceptional

Service: We enjoyed the harbour cruise and dinner. Window seats for Vivid, food was of good quality and served quickly. Staff efficient. Liquor prices a bit high.
Product: As a one-off experience price was not a major consideration and we considered it good value.

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

Service: From the very start to the completion of the cruise, the enthusiastic service, entertainment and attention to detail was absolutely first class.
Product: A culinary delight that was perfectly matched with some superb Penfolds wine.

Service: The service was good. But the food was out of shape - the people on the table next to us had stake as well I had steak - but the size of his was more end twice of mine. But food was good in taste - no way I would had been happy with the steak size if that was the only food I would get for the night.
Product: It was easy to book on the net and only a little slow getting on board the boat

We had a lovely time, thank you.

Service: My friends and I joined a Vivid Cruise on the 9th June, as we are all over 60 we enjoy seeing Vivid via a dinner cruise.
The menu consisted of excellent choices, (4) four entree, (4) four main, (4) dessert. Our choices were delicious, and enjoyed by all.
The on board entertainment, was our era of music, which made dinner all the more enjoyable.
The view of the harbour was clear and all lite up attractions were visible from our seats.
We could not fault the service of our waitress, she was polite and obliging and sorted any minor problems that arose.
We did have one complaint, that tea and coffee were not included in our meal and had to be paid for at the end of the night, as seniors we all enjoy a “cuppa” at the end of a meal.
Product: Need to include tea and coffee as part of the meal not an extra that has to be paid for separately

A terrific way to enjoy Vivid over a lovely meal with great service.

Service: the staff were excellent and looked after us the cruise was great travelling around harbor the meals had a great variety and very well prepared and presented
Product: well prepared and delivered

Service: I would most certainly would recommend this cruise to friends and family. The service we received was excellent!
Product: This was wonderful! Excellent service the best views!

Service: Fabulous experience, felt special from the moment we boarded. Food was restaurant quality and service impeccable.
Product: Great wines paired beautifully with the meal

Service: We were on the Penfolds cruise in 2017 and found the atmosphere was so much better. We also had a band which was great because we could get up to dance. This year we only had 20 people in total and a piano was all the entertainment we had. I would have preferred to pay less and be down stairs. The staff, however and the meals were amazing.
Product: Food and wines were awesome.

Service: The service was excellent and meal was delicious
Product: A delightful night on the harbour

Helt enkelt underbart.

The meal was great. Good choices. Loved having musicians employed for the night plus dance for those who love dancing. The crew were friendly and helpful.

Service: Wonderful evening excellent food and service. Very well looked after
Product: Excellent food and service

Service: This was my second vivid cruise. Last year’s was such fun that I invited friends along to experience it. What a disaster! We paid more than last year simply to have a choice of the same food as was served last year. When I asked for more wine, the service staff were rude and dismissive, almost to the point of contempt that we thought paying more was worth more than a choice of meals at each course.
Further, the lights were turned down so we could barely see what we were eating.
I could have save a lot of money and caught the ferry to Manly, had a nice dinner with wine and come home with money spare compared with the poor experience last weekend.
Sadly, it will be never again and I won’t be recommending anyone else does it, either.
Product: Not worth the money. Better food staying on shore and eating at a restaurant.

Excellent food and attention from the waiters/waitresses. Music was appropriate and not too loud. Vivid was spectacular despite the drizzly evening.

The staff were extremely nice and welcoming.
The food quality was excellent.
The place was very neat and clean including bathrooms.
The sailing was smooth and was appropriate with location in regards to VIVID Sydney Festival.
Will recommend it to others.

Service: We absolutely loved the Dinner and Cruise. The service was excellent! All staff were very friendly. We celebrated our 5 year anniversary and it was lovely. The food was amazing and the pianist played a very nice selection of music. Thank you!
Product: It was amazing! It went beyond our expectations!
