From start to finish my wife and I had the best time. Awesome service from the crew. Food was lovely. Overall awesome experience

Really enjoyed it

Wayne_T, Jan 2024

It was great, a commentary may have been a good to know what youbare seeing. But the food, staff and entertainment were great

Nice experience, with excellent crew

Annette_S, Jan 2024

Nice experience. Could have improved by maybe departing earlier so guests can see some of the river views before sunset. Also my instructions were to see the ticketing window for ticket validation 30 mins before departure. The ticketing window was unattended. We were a group of 14, ended up joining the queue for boarding with fingers crossed. Was all okay and the crew were fantastic. Couldnt fault them. Good variety of food - just watch the chilli levels, even the coleslaw was hot hot hot.

Gary_K, Oct 2023

No parking nearby as there were festivals on nearby. Cruise should have started around 6pm so could enjoy the sunset on boat

Enjoyable evening food was good but wouldn’t go at night again as you don’t see anything. Value of money not good.

Carol_A, Sep 2023

The staff and food were great but value for money not so good. Wouldn’t go at night again as you don’t see anything.

A leisurely evening on the river with good food and wine

Paul_H, Aug 2023

A very leisurely trip on the Swan river. Food was very tasty and a good selection available. Singer was good. We were a little disappointed we didn't have any commentary as to where we were on the river and what we had just passed.

Good but really loud

Jo_W, Aug 2023

The cruise and food were great, we really enjoyed it. The only thing we didn’t enjoy was how loud the live entertainment was. It was like we were at a concert rather than on a dinner cruise and it made it really hard to catch up with our friends who had just flown in from NZ, because you couldn’t hear each other talk.

Not worth the price

Stephaine_B, Jul 2023

Very disappointing I thought it be a bigger boat and could learn about the Swan River the amount you pay only to have one choice of red wine shariz was terrible unfortantly brang family from Melbourne and it was very average

Fantastic cruise

Ronelle_N, Jul 2023

The cruise was wonderful, great value for money!!!! As much food and drink as you wanted and the live entertainment was fantastic! I can highly recommend this cruise as a great night to experience.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

We are so glad you enjoyed your evening with Captain Cook Cruises and that the experience met your expectations. We hope to see you back again on one of our cruises soon. Kind Regards Ella Captain Cook Cruises

Very disappointing experience!

Lorraine_B, Jun 2023

The constant screaming from a hens’ party at the next table ruined our evening!The noise level was terrible and drink service poor to our table!Multiple circles to optus stadium and not many other lights were disappointing and all inall the experience was not worth what we paid!

Lovely experience

Joshua_C, May 2023

The food was amazing and the views were great. At the end of the evening we sat up on the open air deck to enjoy our drinks while listening to the live performer. Lovely experience, would highly recommend.

Dinner cruise

Rita_T, Apr 2023

Yesterday, we almost missed our dinner cruise as we followed the google map via viator that told us to meet at Barrack Square 30mins before departure time at 730pm. There was no banner or staff to receive us from 655pm till 715pm. Luckily, i went to one of the berth and saw captain cook cruise docked at the opposite berth and saw people sitting inside.. we quickly walked there knowing that by 720pm, the check-in would be closed as stated on viator booking document. We would like to suggest for a staff to park at the mentioned meeting point or pls indicate the no. of the berth so that in the near future, tourists can be clear of your meeting point via your viator app. Overall, program was great and we had a great time as a family gathering. The buffet was great and beverages were great too. Will recommend this itinerary to our family and friends. Keep up the good work! Thanks again for adding this to our tour experience.

So so dinner cruise

Ken_C, Apr 2023

Staff were wonderful but the food just so so. Worse part was the extremely loud music that made conversation impossible.
