This cruise was terrific. We had booked ahead, as we are on holidays from interstate and time was important. When we arrived we were warned it might be rough, and given advice on how to avoid being ill. The actual cruise was rough...but fun, with caring and attentive crew. It was unfortunate we didn't see any whales...a great excuse for another Sydney holiday...but a great afternoon all the same.
