Definitely book the Premium. For a few $$$ more we were able to move freely around the sky deck between courses. Was worth every penny, even our children enjoyed the whole experience. The actual cruise is the perfect length of time, not ott, great views and great food.

My mom and I had a wonderful time. We purchased a guaranteed seat by the window, and we are glad we did. The young lady that waited on us was so friendly. The Christmas music in the background got us in the Christmas spirit. The food was delicious, and I loved how they had a variety of items to choose from. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sydney, Australia.

The cruise was beautiful, other then that very dissapointed with the experience. Sheryll our server was rude and avoided our table the entire cruise. I had to ask her to fill up my water multiple times because she was not attentive. She would walk by and avoid eye contact as if deliberately avoiding my table. My friend and i went to the bathroom towards the end (leaving our belongings at the table) and when we came back to our seats our table was completely cleaned and set up for the next guest as if we weren't allowed to eat or drink more. The food lacked flavor and was not very good. The only good thing about this experience was the views.

The view was nice as expected. The meal experience was average at best. The food was average, the service was slow and inconsistent, and (as advertised) drinks were extra and service was not great. If we had to do it again, I probably would do an evening harbor cruise and eat dinner ashore.

The food is in very very poor. The cruise is a 4 star because how can you mess up a view of the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. However they pack people in and the food is truly un eatable. It's not in expensive and not worth $83.00 a person.
Nice cruse ride
