5.00The food was amazing, the staff were very friendly and accommodating with blankets provided as it was a bit cold. The entertainment was great in the background.
Would recommend this cruise to any visitor to the Gold Coast.

5.00From the moment we arrived to when we disembarked, the staff were friendly and helpful. We all really enjoyed our dinner cruise. The food was good with several choices. The entertainment was great. The skipper was very friendly and looked like he enjoyed what he did. We would thoroughly recommend this dinner cruise for the 'stroll around the rivers.' Thank you for looking after us.
Won't do it again

2.00We arrived and stood around and then were ushered onto the boat. There was no warm welcome - Bar open, but no one behind bar for ages. Given instructions to stay seated for food and we would be told when to go - Which we did and then lined for Buffet. Food was good, but we were stuck in the middle of the boat - Not near windows and 9 of us squashed together. Live music was great, but she sat in corner. No place to dance or any interactions. Given we paid over $1300 for 9 of us to be on there, I don't feel it was money well spent. Buffett food was put out and then the pack up started, dessert came out a long time later and felt rushed before we got off.
Worth going, a lovely evening out.

Our most memorable night yet

5.00It was one of the best nights I have ever had as i proposed to the love of my life. The setting before we even set foot on the cruise was warm and welcoming, and then the cruise it self was beautiful with its lighting with both the cruise and the city lights glowing at night and the food being served was worth the money. The crew were also really kind and helpful, so helpful in fact, I was able to set up plans with the crew before the cruise to propose to my now fiance. They discussed with me how i want to do it and allowed me to have the local musician on board to play our love song (my fiance loves the song as it reminds her of us). Either way you can request a song, but they allowed me to do it secretly to not let her know. And they recorded the proposal for me as well thanks to the crew. They made the experience 10x better And without even asking, they celebrated us on board. Can't thank them enough, it is one of our many beautiful memorable nights to come
Chilly cruise night but worth it!
