Here is a selection of the most recent reviews of the 2009 Melbourne New Year's Eve Party Cruise submitted by actual travelers. Read what travelers liked, what they loved, and what they thought could be improved.
Four of us went and we all LOVED and have since raved about this cruise! Food was good, drinks were free-flowing - with a well attended bar, which prevented the '10-deep at the bar' syndrome suffered by most venues on NYE. The boat was quite busy but not at all overcrowded. It was worth paying for the better package for the better boat and wines, which were very reasonable. As far as views of the fireworks is concerned - you couldn't have asked for better. Uninterrupted views of both shows, very close to the action. It seems they also listened to last year's feedback about the 'limited run' of the boat. This time they took us miles upriver between firework shows. The disco downstairs was cheesy, alright, but that was just what we were after. It was a good mix of music and our party aged from late 20s to early 50s. The only constructive feedback I'd give the organisers - find somewhere else for the full bin bags. Not on the rear open deck, which is quite small and room is precious up there! Especially when the fireworks are on. Oh, and make sure the drinks are chilled BEFORE they're loaded on the boat. All in all - great value for money and highly recommended. A big thank you to all the staff who made it a night to remember!

What a great way to see in the New Year. Everything about this trip was quality. The food, drink, staff. I will definitely look forward to taking this cruise again.

The trip was amazing and very well worth the money. Had a brilliant time, the silver boat was great with the top viewing deck to see the New Year's fireworks and the food was fantastic. The only thing that could have been approved on was having more chairs for dinner and then putting them away after as the food was not really finger fork food, you had to sit down to eat it. Apart from that it was brilliant, thanks had a great night.
