It rained but we were under cover down below. It was too wet to go up to the viewing deck but we had readonably good views out the windows. The commentary was good. Staff were attentive and professional, but were not flexible about the seating arrangements (They told us we couldn’t move to a table by the window, but then chose others to relocate to window seats. They told us it was because they had booked earlier than us but I doubt that as we booked 5 months ago)

The boat arrived on time and we were warmly greeted by the crew. Inside it was very clean. The seating in the dining area was allocated which is a great idea that should be advertised as it will stop the impatient passengers who 'have' to get on first. The bar was well stocked with a great variety, I liked the local craft beers. The buffet was plentiful, fresh and delicious. The upper deck had great seating options from chairs/tables to couches and love seats. The 360' view was fantastic. Overall the boat was very well maintained and even the toilets were spotless. I wasn't expecting much as the price was fantastic but the whole cruise exceeded my expectations and was one of the things I'm glad I did on the Gold Coast.
