We boarded the vessel right on time. Our guide, Ned, was very helpful. He gave us a safety briefing, showed us the sights, offered us drinks and answered a million questions. We were blessed with perfect weather for viewing the sights and traveling across the harbor. Our trip progressed as described in the itinerary. Our first lunch stop was Doyle’s restaurant. Doyle’s is over 100 years old. There was a great selection of appetizers to choose from as well as a wonderful view of Watson’s Bay with Sydney in the background. Our second stop at Balmoral Beach was Public Dining. Again, we had a wonderful selection of main dishes to choose from and a nice view while dining. We finished our progressive lunch with a cheese board for dessert while cruising back to the Circular Quay drop off point. The pacing of the day was perfectly timed and we enjoyed it immensely.
