3.00Food and staff were lovely. No atmosphere, and music was ordinary. We just kept doing laps beside the wharf, and the lights were very bright, so couldn’t really see the forest and scenery.
Mother Nature had other plans

4.00Unfortunately it rained hard so we only could be inside and we only circled the harbor. The staff was fantastic and the food and beverages were great too. A fun night out - minus missing the views and time outside at night.
Good time

1.00我们因为Victor平台的错误信息导致根本没有赶上这艘船 。而且我从下午2点得知了有可能会赶不上就一直联系他们，但失败了。这两边现在不愿意承担任何责任和损失。我很失望。永远不会再用！An unreliable app with inadequate customer service.
Not to be missed

5.00The reef is great, Kuranda good but this is the best by far. A leisurely cruise for almost 3 hours with a fantastic seafood and hot buffet and enough food to satisfy the hungriest. I really love oysters and prawns and there was plenty of each. The crew were great from start to finish, the entertainment terrific and you see Cairn at night - a beautiful sight.
Extremely poorly...

1.00Extremely poorly organize. Told to a meeting point where no one to meet. Simply not good enough. I have to run around the place asking many people and still unsure the meeting point.
