Everything but the main course
Being out on the harbour is great. Even in a cloudy grey sky it was exciting to look back on the city. Turn left under the bridge was great too in amongst the evening racing boats and ferries. Bubbles fine again. Entrees ok but bland. Then the main course was a complete trash dish. A bowl of chopped spinach, six bits of untrimmed stringy beef about the size of a fifty cent piece and four bits of steamed kumera. So little effort. So not a meal. It was like we got the cow on the grass. Desert was fine. And then it rained. Can’t hold that against them but that main was truely sad.

Dinner cruise July 17, 2022
It was a night specially prepared for a dear friend celebrating her 65th birthday. On the whole, the cruise was run efficiently by the crew who were all friendly &!knowledgeable. It was a cold, cold night but the waters are so nice & calm that we glided effortlessly through. However, the food was a letdown for me - I ordered Tuna Poke Bowl - it was horrible! The tuna was almost minced, the rice was undercooked & it was tasteless because there was no sauce! The whole thing was so dry I wasn’t able to eat even half of it. The vanilla cheesecake was good but I still came home so hungry 😢

Cruise with nice views.
Cruise was great, just a few things that can be added to make it better. The food was okay, should serve some hot food too. Also, once they stop the boat engine, it becomes so quiet. An addition of some music would be great. Apart from it, experience was great.
