Great trip, average food but plentiful !

This was a really nice tour of the harbor, lunch was ok. For having it say deluxe seafood lunch, I felt it wasn't deluxe at all. It was good but not deluxe. The boat was really nice.

When I booked this lunch cruise I really had no idea of what to expect in relation to the food,or the organisation of the seating arrangements.I can say, honestly, what a fantastic cruise my husband and I had.Extremely well organised, from the embarkment to the assigned seating, to the beautiful buffet lunch, there was plenty of fresh oysters,prawns,meat and Vegetarian dishes, to the lovely salads and not to forget cake,fruit and a massive cheese platter for dessert.I enjoyed the commentary as I had not been on the Sydney Harbour cruise before.What a lovely way to enjoy lunch.I have recommended this to family and friends.It was great.regards Bev Lalor

Very nice to cruise around for the afternoon under the bridge and past the opera house. The lunch is yum but could've been hotter.

Review by: Joan S	March 2011
Despite booking well in advance, and on checking in with 5 people, our table was only set for 4. We had the clear the dirty table next to us and pull it over ourselves. The food was fine, fresh and tasty but the queues were so long, we had to gulp it down as it was being cleared away to prepare for dessert before we sat down to eat. Dessert was also a rushed affair as our 2 hours were up before we finished. The whole thing was rushed and crowded and we saw nothing of the harbour as we were seated in the middle. It was far from relaxing. We would have been much better off dining at a harbourside cafe relaxing, enjoying the view and it would have been much cheaper. The staff tried but it was obvious they were stressed and under pressure. I don't recommend the tour and will not do it again.

one of the best ways to view Sydney !

Had a wonderful lunch and cruise with window seats to celebrate our anniversary. Only suggestion for improvement would be some commentary while we travelled about the landmarks we were seeing.

The food on board was very good. There was a great selection of oysters, prawns, fish curries, desserts, quality cheese, and biscuits. Expect to pay $10 per glass of wine on board. Bottles are in the range of $40. The tour part of the trip could have been personalized as it was given by a recorded voice which most people didn't bother listening to and tuned out. A human voice with personality would lift this aspect of the tour and give it a more personalized feel which was lacking here. The vessel did arrive late at Circular Key which led to some anxiety we could do without before boarding.

Would not recommend this as a way of seeing Sydney harbour. Really only a floating restaurant with a good lunch.

Review by: Catherine B	November 2010
Good and plentiful food. Too noisy on board, thus not able to hear the pre-recorded tour guide.

Review by: Sandra M	September 2010
cruise boat excellent,food lineup not on,could be better way to serve food.

Review by: Kevin D	August 2010
We had a really good trip! Plenty of food and the surroundings were great. I thought a Diet Coke at AUD 5.00 was a little expensive.

Review by: Anonymous	July 2010
OK Trip!

Review by: Glenn C	June 2010
Rather an expensive way to see the harbour but the food was good. You couldn't always here the canned speach. A harbour cruise is not the thing to do. Time spent on other things would be better spent.

Review by: VICTOR L, Australia	March 2010
It was our 30th wedding anniversary, the cruise was surprise for my wife. It was a perfect autumn day as we gently crusied through Sydney Harbour. Together with our daughter we enjoyed the relaxing experience as it was a great way to take in the beauty of Sydney with its rich historical past. For visitors with limited time the two hours crusie is simply perfect. The buffet lunch was good but can do with a bit more variety of hot food, however dessert was great. A great way to spend lunch time for any occasion.

Review by: John D, Australia	March 2010
The food was great, the service was excellent and the views of the harbour were amazing. Overall this was a great experience and I highly recommend it!

Review by: Francis H, Canada	February 2010
Enjoyed the cruise and the buffet immensely.

Review by: Anonymous	January 2010
It was a nice day out. The service was a mix of very good and pretty poor performance depending on the person waiting on you. If you like cruises, and a nice feed and lovely surroundings, then I recommend it, but if you just want a nice slap up seafood meal and not too concerned about the commentary on the cruise, then I wouldnt recommend it. The seafood was pretty average for the price. The drinks were a bit pricey though. The crew manager was lovely and was very thoughtful. One of the staff members ignored me 3 times in a row when asking for service when she was only inches away, very rude, but then there were other staff members especially a young man who was most attentive and friendly but overall it was a pleasant cruise.

Good variety and quality of food for price and good view of Harbour.

We will be telling people about this cruise. It is a definite must do. People were friendly and couldn't do enough for you. The cruise was so interesting, and the buffet was so yummy. Well done!

Boat cruise was nice. Food was very nice. Drinks were far too expensive. If it wasn't for that, it would have been perfect.

Review by: David G, Australia	February 2009
Great value for money on a beautiful harbour.

Review by: Gwenda Y, Australia	November 2008
Had a lovely time for my husband's birthday. We were ushered to a great seat by the window, saw the best view. The meal was great. Being only seafood, fruit & veggie eaters, we were well catered for. Shall do it again.

Review by: Grenville K, Australia	April 2008
We felt as if we had known the crew all our lives. Food and drinks were great. The weather was perfect, and sitting on the front of the boat with a drink and a great commentary was so relaxing. Thanks for a great experience!

Review by: Roger L, Australia	April 2008
I cannot make any suggestions as to improvements as everything was right up to expectations. Lovely meal, interesting commentary and even lovely weather.

Review by: Ami H, Australia	March 2008
Such a beautiful cruise, fabulous food, the prawns were beautiful and fresh. The wait staff was very attentive. We ate quickly and went on top deck, the boat featured a small speaker box which gave interesting commentary about the surroundings. It was very interesting! I had a great day and I highly recommend this cruise!

Review by: Janice C, Australia	October 2007
Very enjoyable. We loved the food and sitting outside enjoying the views.

Review by: Greg H, Australia	September 2007
The cruise was for my parents as I enjoyed it so much when I did it. My parents weren't disappointed either and haven't stopped talking about the great food, views and atmosphere.

We had a fantastic time. The buffet was superb and always the right temperature. The entire day was superb.

The sun was shining, the crew were friendly and the prawns were delicious. A great way to spend 2 hours on this beautiful harbour with good commentary too.

Review by: Helen C, United States of America	April 2007
The trip around the harbor was excellent and the food prepared was fabulous. Unfortunately, the weather was not the best and we spent a lot of time visiting with a young woman from Iowa who was ecstatic to visit with some Americans. Would do it again.

Review by: Susan W	March 2007
Both my friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip with you, the buffet was excellent, if any comment could be made it would have been good to have had one drink in the price but it wouldn't deter me from doing it again sometime in the future.

Review by: Anthony A	January 2007
The cruise went for 90 minutes, NOT 120 as advised. There were oysters & prawns - hardly a seafood buffet although the food was very nice. The rest of the cruise was nice and pleasant.

Review by: Kim J	September 2006
Meals were fine but not to everyone's taste and cruise could be a little longer.

Review by: Anonymous	August 2006
If the lunch and tour could be at separate times this tour would be better. It was quite difficult to enjoy the meal while trying to enjoy the scenery from both sides of the boat at the same time.
