5.00This cruise with high tea was fabulous!!! The boat was a large, cruising yacht with plenty of room for everybody. They assigned you to a beautiful table near the window and start you off with glass of champagne, from there tea and coffee, sweets and treats are delivered to your table. This cruise is extremely enjoyable and relaxing. I highly recommend and would do it again in a minute.
Enjoyable Day cruise

5.00Delightful trip even with the rain. We boarded the boat, they sat us at our reserved a table, brought a glass of champagne, tea pot (about 5 different tea packs were on the table) and 3-tier tray of finger foods. All delicious. You do have the option to order wines, hard liqueurs, non-alcoholic drinks, side snacks and other options while onboard for a fee. No narration of the scenery you’re passing, just light music playing in the background. It was relaxing and enjoyable.
Glorious experience! 🌸

4.00Nice boat trip - food & drinks all good. We had bad weather which was a shame but the trip was fine - worth the cost for the views anyway.

5.00We loved our experience on the harbor cruise!! They gave us plentiful and yummy treats! We had pretty great views with window seats. However my husband kept getting caught in the sun and was unbearably hot at least 90% of the time. So he didn’t enjoy it too much. But I love the ambience and luxury this cruise showcased
CAPTAIN COOK CRUISES DENY ACCESSIBLE TRAVEL

1.00I've had my second issue with Captain Cook Cruises. The first time I attempted to take a cruise and was denied due to my assistance dog travelling with me. The second time, I was told CCC accepts companion cards, and was given a discount code to use for my carer. When I added the discount code, it increased the price from $267 to $315. So they charge MORE money for a disabled person to travel with a carer, than for someone to travel with a friend or family member. Ridiculous!
Nice experience.
