Traveler reviews
The cruise I booked I did...
The cruise I booked I did not get, apparently the cruise I got was better...I'm not sure spending so much time ou in the docklands area was a good use of my time.
Melbourne Express Cruise
A nice river cruise. When we arrived as per the email, the time had changed, which was fine but prepared for this to happen. Pre-recorded tour and just went up one side of the river and back again. Clean boat and friendly staff.
Hard nopes.
Crowded like sardines onto crappy boat, stuffed into uncomfortable chairs haphazardly strewn about, made to listen to a recording of supposed "tour" information and on my boat, the sound system wasn't working so the recording cut out every few seconds so you basically couldn't understand anything. What an absolute farce and waste of an hour. If you're really lucky (as I was), it will also be filled with screaming children unattended by their parents running into people, chairs and everything else.
5stars
The cruise I had booked was actually cancelled but I wasnt told until we were inquiring at the pick up point. The lady at the both was very professional and apologised and we ended up with an upgraded cruise for no extra cost. My family loved it especially my son, he had a brilliant 4th birthday. Thank you Melbourne city cruises.
Fabulous guide and skipper
Fabulous guide and skipper, didn’t get to see it all due to tides, but we understood.
