Sydney to Hobart fun - The Boxing Day Sydney to Hobart cruise on the fast catamaran was a lot of fun. Our boat had a good view of the start line and then we followed the leaders out the Heads and along the coast for a bit. We then passed the rest of the fleet on our return. It was so exciting we hardly had time to eat our snacks or drink our coffee. (p.s. don't go on this one if you are prone to sea sickness.)

Sydney hoilday - Very impressive the cruise lovely and friendly staff amazing views of Sydney thanks you for making our hoilday so exciting and memerbal.

Morning Sydney Harbour Highlights Cruise - We organised this cruise with Princess Cruises excursions, and found it to be very informative. There was a person giving us a commentary on sights and landmarks we were passing, unfortunately her PA system was not very loud and she was often drowned out by the on board chatter from the sightseeing passengers. There was a welcome morning tea or coffee together with Anzac biscuits served on board.

Pretty Good - Very in-depth information from tour guide on board. Beautiful sights. A little expensive for what it was and what other options I found available from other companies after I completed the cruise.

Good way to see Sydney for cheap - A fun way to see Sydney. We did the cheapest option and it was a cool way to see the sights. Great views. It went to different areas and we saw some beaches. Happy we did it.

Needs some commentary to know what you're looking at - Although it was a lovely ride around the harbor, a little commentary on the major sights would be helpful. They give you a map, so you have to figure out where you are, then look at the map to pinpoint what you're looking at. Probably wouldn't recommend unless you just want a quick ride around the harbor.

Forget it - Absolutely no dialogue unless you’re on the lowest deck. No prior warning about this. Huge ship. Luckily it was a grey day so very few aboard.

Very poor service - In Sydney for a few days- were told not to get on our allocated boat for no reason. Had to wait over an hour for the next one- weren’t given an apology or any compensation for the waste of time. Terrible service and communication.

Nice cruise but left feeling unsure about Captain Cook Cruises business practices. - I was booked for a 2 hour tour Harbour Story Premium cruise Through Expedia. Do to the normal things affecting a cruise in a harbour (weather tides and traffic), boarding was delayed. The cruise itself was nice with the narrator pointing out things of interest and other tours that could be picked out until she made at the harbour bridge of stating you can walk to the top but it is very expensive. At no other point of time was mention of any other tour cost (but there were many mentions of the Taronga Zoo). I found this in very poor taste for Captain Cook Cruises to take a swipe at the Bridge Climb company by trying to dissuade people from going over cost. It definitely makes me consider avoidng Captain Cook Cruises in the future. Especially since the cruise ended up being only 1.5 hours and not the tours listed with Expedia. Also the Expedia listing states premium however it is not a premium seat. I will state that description in the booking is not for a Premium ticket it only states that it is a premium ticket. While the cruise was nice the overall business practices I found distasteful especially calling out other experiences on pricing. I am not sure why you would go through the effort of pointing out the bridge climb if you did not want to promote them. To me that gave you company a very bad look and I cannot recommend your tours because of it.

Complete waste of money - No organization when lining up for the cruise, no communication about which dock to line up at, no one even looked at my ticket. Once we boarded the huge boat we were told to all go 4 stories up to the top floor. The top deck was full of teenagers talking as loudly as they could and we couldn’t hear anything that was being said over the speakers. There’s hardly any seating avail on the top deck, either. We went downstairs to find some quietness and to see if we could hear the tour better, however it was only playing on the top deck. Then the cruise docked at a different harbor, nothing was said over the speakers, about 10 min later the boat took off again. My friends and I went back to the top deck, however there was nothing playing over the intercom now. What a complete waste of money.
