Food was good, great day to be on the Harbour. The service from Vanessa was outstanding. She made a good experience into a great experience. She was friendly, professional and very lovely and cheerful. She is a great asset to Captain Cook Cruises, they need to do whatever to keep such a wonderful employee.

The lunch we had was really good and came out at a nice easy pace, so you didn't feel rushed. Our server was extremely friendly and attentive. While others left early at one of the stops, we were glad we stayed to the end as we made a further run in the harbour. It was a great way see around the area. The atmosphere aboard was relaxing and we were so to have chosen this trip.

A very relaxing afternoon spent cruising Sydney Harbour enjoying good food and wine, and excellent service. The perfect way to enjoy an autumn day in Sydney.
