Traveler reviews
Enjoyable experience…. But
We usually do the long lunch on the harbour in summer time but we had the opportunity to do it in winter as well this year. We absolutely love it. It was a bit disappointing as it wasn't the normal vessel we are used to - Australia 2000. The comfort factor is not as good. Some staff either didn’t understand English very well or were maybe not listening as our drinks order was not as requested. After this got sorted we both enjoyed a beautiful lunch. So very relaxing but i think the route may have changed a bit wasn't quite the same as on other occasions. Overall we did enjoy the experience but if there is a change of vessel we should have the opportunity to reschedule or cancel.
Poor cruise coverage
The service from booking the ticket was excellent to obtaining access on boarding. The meal was very pleasant. The issue is they are price gauging for a service you don’t get. Whilst you travel into Circular Quay, past Garden Island that’s it you don’t get to see the expanse of massive mansions which was always a factor of a great harbour cruise. Captain Cook have cut the area at the expense of guests. Other operators provide a full and filling tour of the greatest harbour with the mansions along the harbour. Please check others before booking with Captain Cook
We had a truly lovely...
We had a truly lovely time on our 3-hour lunch cruise, our waiter was lovely as to the 3-course meal we had excellent, we will be back soon. Thank you for a special experience.
fantastic way to experience Sydney Harbour.
A fantastic way to experience Sydney Harbour. The cruise was very well organized, and the views of the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and the city skyline were simply breathtaking. The food was delicious, the service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere on board was relaxed and enjoyable. It was the perfect combination of sightseeing and a leisurely lunch. A memorable experience and one of the highlights of our Sydney trip. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city.
Ravioli to die for
This cruise was amazing. The food was first class and the service was faultless. Thank you Queen for taking such good care if us. Don't think that you have to get off as soon as the boat returns or that you have to rush your meal. You can stay and do a few rounds if the tour up until 4.30. We did the 3 course meal with window upgrade and highly recommend
