Good experience but not 100% happy
The experience was good. Nice vessel and good food. The only problem it’s that I don’t think it’s a good idea to have lunch and then go to the open sea.. everyone was seasick and not enjoying at all the experience. They need to find a better way to provide de meal, maybe after the sea sighting. Besides that I think it’s worth it and the people from the vessel were really friendly and trying to gave us a good experience.

Staff inattentive
Cruise with lunch food was average but we only paid $65 each with bookme. Lady threw up where we were sitting even though the host mentioned several times to take sick bags. My wife told a crew member who gave her a sick bag but made no attempt to clean down, so we were forced to move in the middle where you couldn’t see anything. Also the crew all sat with the captain/host so no one at the bar the whole time. It was a hot day and we’re hoping to have a few drinks while sitting on board. I wouldn’t waste my money on this cruise and look for something else. We went on a sunset cruise in the GC $20 each and so much more fun were provided with light snacks and bar was available for the duration of the cruise.

Amazing whale watching experience
I went on the whale watching cruise with Sydney Princess Cruises and had a great time! Even though I only saw one big splash of a whale, it was such an exciting and beautiful moment. The crew were friendly, informative, and made the whole trip enjoyable. The views of the harbour and open ocean were stunning, and the cruise itself was relaxing and well organised. Definitely worth it — I’d love to go again next season to see even more whales!
