Bright & Breezy

Try and get a seat upstairs to get a better view. Our view was obstructed by a couple of palm trees pretending to be Xmas trees. Staff were friendly and helpful. Pity about the weather but at least it was not too choppy. The food was quite good with a variety of meats, seafood and vegetables. All in all, a nice days cruise with a great selection of festive songs and tunes.

Christmas Lunch on the Harbour.

Easy to organise, welcoming staff. Separate tables for couples and groups of family/friends. Tables nicely presented with crackers etc. Seafood was delicious and constantly replenished - oysters, large prawns smoked salmon all beautifully served. I didn’t eat the hot food but it looked good. Wine, bubbly , soft drinks and coffee all freely available. The sea was a mill pond, the sun shone from a blue sky - perfect, thank you Sydney Princess Cruises.

Operator response

Hi Mary, We're so happy you enjoyed your Christmas Day cruise and are glad to have spent it with you! Thank you.
