Excellent experience - You have a choice of cocktails for your 1st included drink; not a one size fits all. I had the Margarita and it was top notch. The second included drink is a choice of 2 beers or 3 types of wine so something for every taste. The charcuterie board was also top notch; much better than I expected and definitely enough for 2 people. You are assigned a table but are free to walk around; go up on deck to see the sights with your drink and then come back down to enjoy your charcuterie. No worries about something being taken away while you’re gone. We had a beautiful clear, warm evening so spent a lot of time on the upper deck enjoying the skyline. You do have to download the narration if you want to hear about the different sights along the way but that was actually a plus so you don’t have to listen to an annoying narration over the intercom. Instead, you listen to an onboard lovely vocalist and small band. It was a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours.

Relaxing cruise - Good charcuterie and nice break from the heat! Only complaint is we ended early & stopped to pick up people during the ride so you missed some cruising time. But this was a nice break from the walking and heat!

Relaxing harbour experience - This cruise was a relaxing tour around the Sydney harbor with a nice charcuterie board. The 2 included drinks were perfect for hanging around with two friends and seeing the sights. You get nice and close to the opera house and gutpinch island. Ultimately, if youre looking for a relaxing evening with a nice little cruise, this is perfect.

This was a very nice... - This was a very nice cruise. The charcuterie board and drinks were good, the seating was nice, and the views were lovely. I only wish that they had lowered the lights when it got darker so that we could see outside a little better.

Boat is much larger than... - Boat is much larger than we thought it would be and there was very limited outdoor space. Cheese tray contents were good but there could have been a bit larger quantity. Service was pleasant and welcoming. Music was wonderful.

Expected an upper deck... - Expected an upper deck location for our dining. We were on the lowest deck and could only walk up to an observation area to see out over the Harbour. Good service. Commentary was limited to non existent. 4 stars is probably too high a rating.

Cruise was great but the drinks package was a rip off - The cruise itself was nice although the decor of the ship was a bit dated. Also felt a bit ripped off with the limitations on drinks with only being able to order 1 cocktail per person (out of the 2 drinks per person inclusion) which was made worse by the fact that the cocktails were also not particularly good and tasted watered down
