Wonderful cruise! Great for all ages. The dinner was fantastic! However they advertised as sunset but we ended up going after the sun set but still nice.

The cruise itself was great BUT the food was NOT, it was cold and most of it tasteless. The dining room was very cold and even after asking them to turn the air conditioner off or down nothing happened. We were not the only one that felt the same about the food and the chilliness of the dining room. Would not recommend this trip.
Relaxed evening

You can relax, no need to rush, ample and excellent food supply. Multi choice. Prawns fresh and tasty . Oysters are in their own shell and not from supermarket supply and put in a shell.
Air conditioner too bloody cold

The food (although quite a good choice) was cold..the calamari was like rubber..the prawns and oysters were the best and we tried a bit of nearly everything.
Good tour of the bay at sunset

Food and drinks were good. The lights of the city were beautiful from out in the bay. Staff were friendly. The entertainment was a young lady singer that was excellent. My friends and I totally enjoyed the night.

Great food, great service , ship was fabulous. Directions to the dock could have been better. Also ask if others joining you do tables could be scheduled. We’re very accommodating once on ship

We booked this dinner cruise hoping to catch a gorgeous sunset. Unfortunately the weather didn’t go in our favour. Nonetheless, we had a terrific time aboard. We were promptly boarded onto the boat at 6pm sharp and welcomed with a cold beverage (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). We then took up position on the front of the deck whilst the boat cast away at 6:30pm. Shortly after that we were called to seat at our table as dinner was ready. The food was delicious and plentiful. You could go back for seconds and thirds, but make sure you keep room as dessert also follows. Staff were amazing and all in all we had a brilliant trip.
Excellent Dinner Cruise
