My husband and I were given tickets for a Vivid Cruise on 29th May 2023 and when we went to the Man O War steps wharf were upset to find that the cruise had been cancelled and we had not been advised. Such poor customer service and business management, to not let customers know, and for us not to receive a refund or an apology! We certainly will not be booking with this company again! All the advertising in the world does not trump word of mouth experiences. So disappointing!!

Firstly the staff mostly were good and friendly, however whilst we saw the need for some sort of security, why were there were 3 Islander pub bouncers being overly intimating is a wonder. The food was 1 star out of 10, and considering the cost of the trip it was an insult. It was however devoured in minutes as people were starving and then there was nothing left anyway even if you were desperate enough to eat it.

The DJ catered to a blue light disco crowd and whilst it was on there was no escape as the inside cabin had an equally loud and annoying noise for absolutely no reason as no one danced or wanted it. It was punishing. Not just annoying but so loud from the minute we got on to the time we left you could not make any conversation.

The crowd mix was varied however it only catered for the “doof doof”
cohort even though 50% was over 45.

The drinks on offer were basic and if you wanted to purchase something they were cheap label and over priced.

The fireworks were missed by the selfie sticks and crowded bow. And at no stage were we advised we weren’t being dropped off at our departure point.

If I could I get Department of Fair Trading for all those that wanted a refund to make them give us one.

I booked NYE Cruise through Scoopon... Stood at Wharf 9 for 2 hours... No boat from this Company left the wharf... I requested a refund through PayPal... Scoopon say the company has told them the boat left at 7.40pm with 200 people onboard... And yet no one I asked was also with this company... No staff I asked gad heard. Scoopon also told me they could speak to me about this as I had a dispute with PayPal... Please be careful... These cruises are expensive an it's a lot of money to be left alone on the wharf on NYE...

Chris was really helpful and let us change our Groupon tickets for vivid to a different night even though it was against the terms. We’re really looking forward to it! Thanks Chris!

After reviewing the previous posts (post purchasing tickets) I had low expectations for the Vivid Cruise. The cruise was only a little bit late. The burger was not 'disgusting" but actually tolerable. There was plenty of room on the boat and the kids took advantage of this to dance. A lovely boat but probably more suited to a booze cruise as the view for Vivid isn't great. Would be more inclined to hire this crew for a bucks party rather than Vivid next time.

Where do I start? I will make it short for you: If you want to have the worst possible experience in Sydney, and feel ripped off then you should try this one. The boat is a dingy, the staff is very rude and does not even know where the boarsing wharf is, the food sucks. We spent $220 for this scam.

This a perpetrated scam!!! We reported it to the Ombudsman of NSW
and the Sydney Council to investigate them. It's a shame that we leave this scammers fool herds of turists to our city. We will take their service down!

Given the bad rating on Tripadvisor please check whether these thieves changed their names into something else, and stay away from them!!!

What an absolute waste of money! The evening vivid cruise we went on was embarrassingly awful.
They packed the boat like sardines, there wasn’t enough seats for everyone. The buffet food of frozen chicken and something that could resemble spring rolls and pasta was disgusting and we had to eat it standing up.
This money hungry company really showed it true colours on the cruise, I would never book with them again.
