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.

Great views and lunch - This is a great cruise and lunch. I booked a window and 2 course lunch. We had a table for 2 on the top inside deck and both of us were on the window. Lunch was served in 2 courses, starter and main. You have a choice among 3. Veg starter and main are available. Food was very well prepared. Water is included, other beverages are extra. Service was prompt and friendly. We had a beautiful day and I would do it all again.

Absolutely fabulous. Can’t wait to do it again. - Top rate. We do this long lunch cruise every year and it never disappoints. From the moment we board we are looked after. The staff are so friendly, polite, efficient you are so taken care of. The food is absolutely glorious, cooked to perfection with an adequate choice to pick from. Three courses all wonderful. It’s such a great way to spend a few hours. There is the views amazing. Beautiful day on Sydney Harbour. A must for anyone visiting. Well done to all involved. We will definitely be back and can’t wait.

Amazing - From the word go this experience was perfect. The staff, the food and the view. The staff went out of their way to make sure we had all we needed. I’m so glad we did this lunch cruise there was no disappointment at all. Getting to see all the views like the harbour bridge and the Opera house so close was amazing. When we come back we Will certainly do this again.

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.
