Great experience, good crew, just the right amount of information about the boat and the harbour. Lots of opportunities to get involved with the activities on board. We even managed good weather. The food was quite good, however, finger bowls would have been useful after eating the prawns.

The cruise was great. We really enjoyed talking with the staff who were all very friendly and informative. The food was of your average backyard BBQ standard, but still tasty, satisfying and comparable with the old time surroundings. Was really beautiful being under sail in the harbour with the shillouette's of the city around us.

Had a great night, the staff on board the ship were friendly and the food was excellent. Limited space but that is normal for the type of ship it is and the staff handled that well by serving dinner on one side of the ship. Very good experience on the world's best harbour and would recommend this experience to friends and family.

Very enjoyable. I honestly wouldn't have thought about doing it unless I was looking at everything on offer at RedBalloon ... After 2 minutes on board, I have NO IDEA why I wouldn't have thought about it before. What an experience. RedBalloon, thanks for being there for me, now all I need to do is figure out what I want to choose to do next!?

It was a fabulous experience - lights of Sydney magic, food was good once we realised there was more in the galley below and the commentary was good. Perhaps a bit more commentary about the sights as we were from the country, but it was a very friendly, congenial experience. Thank you.

Crew were great. Very cheery and worked hard to ensure everyone had a fun time. We went as a couple but there were several groups that obviously were work mates and they were partying!
Might have been nice to have some more familiar wine labels.
It was great that the skipper Marty was preserving some of our REAL history. It is spectacular to see a ship that has real character and history. Can't get this from modern vessels that are so commonplace.
