We could not have asked for a better table view!!! We were greeted with smiles and friendly assistance. We departed as timed. The meal was good and good service.!! We had Erin as our waiter and he was friendly and patient!! We returned on time but was offered to delay out departure if we desired to second drop off. The sights were awesome!!! Couldn't have a better seat to see Sydney!!! I would highly r recommend Harbor dinner cruise!!'

Easy boarding, wonderful food and ambiance. Beautiful view from the open top deck of the e opera house and harbor.
It was good, wish the groups were a little bit smaller but our tour guide was great and we learned a lot.
A fantastic evening with Captain Cook Cruises! Beautiful sunset views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, delicious dinner, and friendly, attentive staff. A relaxing and memorable experience. Highly recommended!
Caption Cooks dinner cruise was a lot of fun. Service was amazing and the food was delicious. Overall a great tour.
Perfectly paced sail around Sydney Harbour with a great three course meal along the way. It was overcast with an occasional drizzle so we didn’t see the sunset but our experience was great just the same.
It was easy to book the experience, and simple instructions to get there, including tickets. The dinner was fabulous, and the scenery was beautiful. The boat is very smooth on the water, and the only recommendation would be to have the captain share highlights, or points of interest specifically during the tour. Highly recommend premium seating as it gets you on the top deck with live music
Enjoyed the dinner and views. We went on the early sitting, it was not dark yet. Regardless, the views were great, so was the service and food.
Beautiful way to see the harbour, sunset and the food was excellent. A bit surprised coffee was extra but otherwise excellent and definitely worth it
The harbour cruise was beautiful but the dinner, ambiance and service were very underwhelming. I would recommend taking a ferry ride at sunset and then going for a lovely dinner along the pier at one of the open air restaurants.
It was a nice relaxing way to see the iconic sights of Sydney. It was well organized with pre assigned tables. We paid extra for the window seat and were glad we did. The food average.
Great way to experience Sydney Harbour. The service, food & drinks were all very good. The excursion was very well organized.
It was a very relaxing cruise seeing the skyline and harbors of Sydney. The food and service were also excellent.
This is a short trip around the harbour with basic dinner. We opted for the premium meal, but it just included appetizers. They were good, but the value for this trip is missing.
Meal and service very average - had a toddler with us (free I know) but no acknowledgment he was even there - I think it’s appalling they took extra money for a ‘guaranteed window seat’ and there were only 2 lots of guests seated anyway - we still would’ve had a window seat anyway and they would’ve known this - we did a lunch cruise the next day with another company and it was amazing - smiles on the staffs faces like they were happy we were there - toddler still free but we were asked if he would like a meal - they brought him some mashed potatoes and broccolini - that was incredibly kind - doesn’t cost much and meant the world so at least we know there are still outstanding cruises - just not with this company - we haven’t been to Sydney for a while but I guess they get the tourists and just don’t really care
A fantastic experience that I highly recommend. Beautiful views of Sydney. Delicious food that is beautifully presented.
It was wonderful - great service, food was excellent, very relaxing and very peaceful. Sights were beautiful! Highly recommended!
Incredible, romantic, beautiful sights. Loved it so much. Would definitely want to go and do it again.
Would recommend we enjoyed our experience well organised it’s definitely worth the trip
We was lucky the weather was perfect
It was a very sweet, romantic cruise. Exceptional food and cooked with perfection. Staff were very attentive, understanding and prompt.
Absolutely fabulous great food great staff great atmosphere stunning views well worth the experience
This was a very enjoyable evening. The food was excellent and the service was very attentive. I would recommend this trip for some excellent photo opportunities.
Beautiful dinner experience, perfect way to end our Sydney trip.. the staff was attentive and the food exceeded expectations. Views of the opera house and bridge were unmatched!
Loved the window seat. Beautiful views of the harbor and plenty of room on the decks to take pictures and enjoy the evening.
Decent but overall quality of the food and ships interior was subpar. Didn’t feel high end but it was overall fine. Wife and I showed up dressed well and the other passengers were pretty casual.
So much fun! Great service, great love music, amazing views! Good was good!! Amazing wine list! Check it out purple!!
Food was excellent, as was the service. Only slight downside from my perspective was at times the boat was slightly rocky.
Unfortunately, this dinner cruise didn’t quite live up to our expectations. The cruise started late and then stopped at a second location to pick up additional passengers. Because of the delay, we essentially missed the sunset, which was one of the things we had been looking forward to most. The views of Sydney Harbour are beautiful, but you really need to go up to the top deck to enjoy them. There isn’t much of a view from the dining room itself, so don’t expect to watch the scenery go by while having dinner. We were also disappointed with the food and didn’t find it particularly enjoyable. Sydney Harbour is absolutely worth experiencing from the water, but based on our experience, we would recommend looking for a smaller cruise that offers a more intimate atmosphere and better opportunities to enjoy the views.
Nice, friendly staff, but the value for the cost is not comparable. We had VIP seating and would have easily received the same experience with a regular ticket. Food is average and alcohol is an additional expense. Seems like a good option for families with young children and teens, or older adults. I would dress casual (nothing fancy).
Great cruise with sunset dining with 3 course meal. You can easy to spend 3 hours plus together. Great Experience. I enjoy it.
The idea was neat - food was average- service was less than average - the Darling harbor wharf has so many great restaurants I’d sooner eat at
