Overall my wife and I had a good time and enjoyed the experience. Staff very friendly, captain very knowledgeable and the boat was historic and fun to explore, and of course Sydney Harbour provided great views. Now onto the cons, i honestly cant see how the operator justifies what they charge. We paid ~ $260 for the dinner cruise and drinks package for 2 people. The cruise in Winter only goes for 1.5 hours even though we arrived back at the dock in broad daylight at the completion of the cruise and could have stayed out for much longer. As this event is sold as a dinner cruise, you would expect the dinner to be one of the star attractions of the evening. We were offered a buffet which consisted of a few different types of salad, some boiled rice and a chicken dish which closely resembled a store bought simmer sauce (but to be honest was quite nice). The kind of dish you would have as a uni student at a house party. For the price we paid i expected something far more substantial and 1.5 hours is not long enough to feel like you've really sailed around the harbour. We had a good time but i would expect to pay well under $200 for what we received. Parking is also really only via parking station so factor in another $25 on top of the cost of the cruise.
