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

Pleasant Experience

It was a pleasant experience for the 4 of us. The boat was very nice and the service was excellent. The food was OK. I had the eggplant dish and it wasn't to my liking but everyone's tastes are different. If food is NOT a high priority for you then you will like the cruise. The harbor was beautiful and it was a really beautiful day. Don't miss out on taking a habor cruise.

A Delightful 4 hour Lunch on board the Captain Cook on Sydney Harbour

A Birthday present for my darling Wife on her birthday. Weather was forecast to be bad, but no problem on board a boat. Northing was to hard for the crew, both shore and onboard. I booked the three course option with guaranteed window seating. Mindy our waitress was delightful and extremely pleasant, advising us on the menu and drinks. She suggested we could spread our courses over the 4 hour trip which enabled us to enjoy Sydney Harbour even on a miserable day. The food was excellent a Ravioli for my wife and Salmon for myself, followed by one of the best lamb dishes we have had in any great restaurant worldwide. We finished with different chocolate deserts. All this was accompanied by a delightful Broken Wood Pinot Noir. The only disappointing part was having to go back to Circular Quay 3 times & Darling Harbour 3 times. Although Sydney is a busy Harbour due to Ferries & cruise ships, we thought on the final return to Darling Harbour that we may have been able to crise further up the Western side of the bridge, but assumed that this was probably due to Harbour master constraints. Thank you to all the crew and the Captain who has no doubt being doing this for years. He could park this extremely large boat better than most people can park their cars.
