Kirra Lee was extremely friendly, professional and efficient. She should be commended on her work ethic and professionalism, making guests feel welcome and seen. All staff knew their roles and operated like a well oiled machine, food was fresh and delicious. I will be recommending and revisiting.

Hello! We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise on Newcastle Harbour last Saturday night. As the weather was fabulous we were able to go upstairs several times and enjoy the night lights of the city. Food was very tasty and there was plenty of it. Music was also enjoyable . Staff were amazing. Will tell our friends for sure. Thank you for a great night.!
