The boat was infested with cockroaches.

It could have been wonderful. The staff was friendly and the drinks were good, but the ship was infested with cockroaches. My husband and I killed two, but saw them running all around. Yuck.

Great views and cocktails for a great price!

The ride was a perfect way for my elderly father to view the harbor without having to walk. It was a nice relaxing family activity. The charcuterie board and the complimentary cocktails were of good quality and tasted great!

Pleasant harbour cocktail cruise.

They should know that it sets off from Darling Harbour and then arrives in Circular Quay. It eventually sets off and arrives back in Darling Harbour. I would have like information about where we were at any given time. Staff were fine & brought our charcuterie and drinks in good time. It didn't get off to the best start, due to an announced medical incident. Overall a more hands on service would have improved the experience.

Going at night was wonderful. Super to see all of the lights and you can easily see how far back the city goes. The buildings in Sydney are iconic!

This was a very nice cruise. The charcuterie board and drinks were good, the seating was nice, and the views were lovely. I only wish that they had lowered the lights when it got darker so that we could see outside a little better.

Cruise was great but the drinks package was a rip off

The cruise itself was nice although the decor of the ship was a bit dated. Also felt a bit ripped off with the limitations on drinks with only being able to order 1 cocktail per person (out of the 2 drinks per person inclusion) which was made worse by the fact that the cocktails were also not particularly good and tasted watered down

Excellent experience

You have a choice of cocktails for your 1st included drink; not a one size fits all. I had the Margarita and it was top notch. The second included drink is a choice of 2 beers or 3 types of wine so something for every taste. The charcuterie board was also top notch; much better than I expected and definitely enough for 2 people. You are assigned a table but are free to walk around; go up on deck to see the sights with your drink and then come back down to enjoy your charcuterie. No worries about something being taken away while you’re gone. We had a beautiful clear, warm evening so spent a lot of time on the upper deck enjoying the skyline. You do have to download the narration if you want to hear about the different sights along the way but that was actually a plus so you don’t have to listen to an annoying narration over the intercom. Instead, you listen to an onboard lovely vocalist and small band. It was a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours.

Boat is much larger than...

Boat is much larger than we thought it would be and there was very limited outdoor space. Cheese tray contents were good but there could have been a bit larger quantity. Service was pleasant and welcoming. Music was wonderful.
