Response from Host, Mar 2026
Wonderful to hear, thanks so much for your review and we are so pleased to hear you had such a nice experience with us.
Shirley_T, Mar 2026
The trip is very interesting - it's a bit hard to hear the commentary however, when there are large tables of people all talking and laughing at the same time. Not that they shouldn't do that - just maybe there should be a different way of getting the information to interstate or overseas visitors that would really like to hear what the captain has to say.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry that you could not hear the commentary. We do have maps on board where you can scan the QR code and then read or listen to the commentay via your phone. We will make sure that our Crew have these maps on board and share them with all customers.

Lunch is not worth the $65 difference between the cruise without lunch and the one with.
I had hoped for something in the line of a seafood buffet.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thanks for your honest feedback. We are sorry to hear that the lunch did not meet your expectations. We do have a sample buffet menu on our website which provides a realistic sample of our menu. We hope you enjoyed the overall cruise experience with us though!

Fairly disorganised onboarding experience. Was late leaving and then they had to turn around as they forgot the food. Luckily they remembered early on the trip as the food was delicious. Once we got underway crew were a little bit more organised but still seemed chaotic with drinks and forgetting orders might need more training on the basics it seems. Well worth doing to have a scenic view of Perth and Fremantle as it was our last day so very relaxing. The crew, while friendly, seem to be either new or poorly trained.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks for your honest feedback, we appreciate it. And you are right, we are currently in the midst of training many new Crew for the summer. Good news is that we already have plans to implement a faster boarding process, starting in the next few weeks!

Disappointing lunch experience. I would have expected a linen tablecloth dining experience for the price. Uncomfortable chairs everything was done on the cheap not what you expect for the price they charge. I wouldn’t recommend this trip.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks for your honest and direct feedback Graham. We are so sorry to hear that you were so disappointed in our Swan River Lunch Cruise. We appreciate your feedback, however, and will consider changes, such as providing a linen tablecloth, when we next review our products, which we do regularly. Thank you again for your review Graham.
