Exceptional entertainment with great food and drinks on Spirit of Cairns Sunset Cruise - Fantastic cruise experience with the crew of Spirit of Cairns on 17/03/26. Food and drinks were very good and boat amenities were excellent. Musical entertainment was provided by The Sax Man Troy Stevens who was exceptional as always and rounded off a great night. Thanks everyone.

Amazing dinner cruise - The dinner cruise was very well organised. We were warmly welcomed abroad with drinks before being escorted to our table. The entire crew were very professional , friendly & conducted themselves as if you were at a 5 star hotel. Each table was beautifully set with a touch of candlelight. The buffet contained a great selection of dishes to suit everyones needs. All the food & desserts were very well prepared, fresh & delicious. We even had an opportunity to buy ponchos at the end d of the cruise due to the heavy rain.

A nice night out - Good food. Polite and attentive crew. Drinks expensive but good. The part we liked the least was the live entertainment. I’m sure he is a talented guitarist but he played twin songs we were familiar with. And they were all in the same style. I would expect him to hear the music to his audience and do songs that people can dance and sing to. Overall we would recommend it.

Mother Nature had other plans - Unfortunately it rained hard so we only could be inside and we only circled the harbor. The staff was fantastic and the food and beverages were great too. A fun night out - minus missing the views and time outside at night.

Average - Food and staff were lovely. No atmosphere, and music was ordinary. We just kept doing laps beside the wharf, and the lights were very bright, so couldn’t really see the forest and scenery.

Food was ok. The “cruise”... - Food was ok. The “cruise” went back and forth along the harbor, over and over and over. The cruise started right before sunset, so for the last hour and a half, you couldn’t see anything. Staff was so busy clearing the tables as soon as we finished eating, I felt they were trying to get rid of us, but we couldn’t leave, as the boat was still going back and forth, back and forth. Don’t waste your money.
