The purpose of the beverage package is for you and your guests to enjoy beverages at your convenience. These packages are not designed to promote excessive consumption resulting in intoxication. All guests must use personal discretion not to become intoxicated. If a guest is deemed intoxicated by our crew they will be removed from the vessel and dropped off at the nearest wharf (at Captain’s discretion). If it is a group booking, and the group does not comply with the direction of the Cruise Director, the entire group will be required to leave the vessel. You will not receive any part payment, either for the cruise or the beverage package if you or the group are removed from the vessel due to intoxication. If you fail to comply with our directive, the Captain or Cruise Director will report the matter to the NSW Water Police. We would like to advise you that the NSW Water Police can access our vessels whilst they are underway, or at the nearest wharf, at their discretion.

Guest Reviews

So in love with Showboat’s Sydney Harbour lunch cruise. I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the ambience aboard the cruise. Not to mention, the service was quite remarkable too. I would totally recommend this to my friends and family.

Had a great time and no complaints. All the staff were great and helpful. Will recommend this lunch cruise to others. Thank you to all your staff for an enjoyable lunch time cruise.

Thank you for a wonderful time. The team and I thoroughly enjoyed our time while onboard. The service was great and we had an amazing experience :)

I was very impressed my mum and friend also loved it would do it again one more hour would be great.

We send out a customer survey form to all guests that join us on board. This form aims to understand how we can improve our cruise experience for future guests. Our customer service team regularly follows up with guests that report a sub-optimal experience to better understand their concerns.

While we feature positive reviews on our website, all feedback is appreciated and taken into consideration when developing our products & training staff.
