Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We enjoyed our 90 minute cruise yesterday. As the weather was forecast to be wet and windy, the company rang me the day prior to say that we would be upgraded to the larger boat MS Inception at no extra charge.
We were very glad for this as it was a much more comfort trip and a lovely boat. James was our captain and was good fun.
This was a great experience which we all enjoyed. Well done!

We had a lovely time cruising around the harbour sipping champagne and relaxing. My husband is from Sydney but had never done anything like that and he loved it. We were allowed to pilot the boat under the Harbour Bridge which was amazing and a real highlight of our holiday.

Didn't have to wait for any guest. Went where we wanted to go and Martin was welcoming and informative about the local sights of Sydney harbour. Would definitely recommend SLC.

Very disappointed. I suspect under-resourcing to counter losses due to COVID 19. My disappointment was caused by the actions of the Company Board unless it can be shown otherwise and not by the crew who were obviously working under restricting conditions.

Dear John,
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. However, it appears there may be a mix-up in your review. The experience you described relates to the Cruiseliner "Majestic Princess", which is not a part of our offerings. We specialize in private, luxury cruises around Sydney Harbour, and are in no way related to the Majestic Princess cruise experiences.
We recommend reaching out to the correct company or posting your review on the appropriate page for the Majestic Princess to ensure your valuable feedback is directed to the right team. TripAdvisor offers the option to edit or relocate your review to the correct business page.
If you ever wish to experience a private luxury cruise with us at Sydney Luxury Cruise, we would be delighted to showcase our commitment to exceptional service and personal attention.
Warm regards,
Glenn

My wife and I booked this cruise during our honeymoon however unfortunately due to weather, the cruise was canceled. The operator Glenn, confirmed the day of the cancellation via text that a refund would be processed that same day (3/2/20) but that did not occur. It took us almost 3 months to resolve the issue and below is the timeline.
*2/20/20 = Booked the event and paid.
*3/2/20 = Glenn the operator promised to provide a refund and would process it this day.
*3/18/20 = Refund not received so I contacted Glenn, Glenn stated he processed the refund but will check into it and get back to me.
*3/20/20 = I contacted Glenn because he never got back to me from the 3/18 text. Glenn stated the refund bounced and would process it again.
*4/19/20 = I contacted Glenn because the refund was still not received.
*4/20/20 = I contacted Glenn again because of no response from me reaching out on 4/19.
*4/26/20 = I contacted Glenn again because of no response from the 4/19 and 4/20 texts.
*4/28/20 = Glenn responds and states the refund keeps bouncing and that he no longer has my credit card information. Glenn then asks if I could receive a refund by PayPal which I said yes and I provided my PayPal information.
*5/17/20 = We still have not received a refund so my wife files a claim with Chase to dispute the transaction. Chase contacts the vendor/operator to resolve.
*5/28/20 = Chase resolves the dispute and credits the entire amount.
*6/9/20 = I wrote a negative review on the experience because I was not aware my wife filed the dispute on 5/17 and it was resolved on 5/28.
*6/10/20 = The operator Glenn texts me, is not happy about the review I wrote and will confirm the refund. Glenn provides an update and screenshot of the refund issued on 5/26/20.
*6/11/20 = Brad confirms, deletes original review and writes this one.
In summary, we weren't able to receive a refund until our bank pressed the vendor/operator. Glenn was always nice when he communicated but this ordeal was never a priority.

Hi Brad,
Glenn here, I am sorry to hear you are not satisfied with our customer service and I'm saddened to read this review.
We tried refunding you numerous times however the payment kept bouncing from your end. The reason why it took so long is because each attempt took up to ten business days before it bounced back.
After many failed attempts, I contacted the support team of our Reservation software provider, who said they would facilitate the refund from their end.
From this point onwards, the matter was out of my hands and I had done all I could to rectify the situation.
Again, my sincerest apologies for your bad experience. I'm glad it was finally resolved
Kind regards,
Glenn

We took a two hour cruise around the harbour and had a great time. Glenn was a great guide and the cheese and champagne a perfect touch to accompany the tour. All the amazing sights and the best photo opportunities.

Tom from this cruise was Brilliant! He gave us a comfortable and classy view of Sydney's iconic harbour. Tom skilfully navigated from upclose to our hotel, all the way to the restaurant! The small wood cruiser was beautifully looked after and was extremely welcoming. There were complementary drinks and you get to choose your music. Definitely bring a camera and don't bother with a raincoat, you don't get wet at all. Tom was well versed on the geography of Sydney and it was an all round great experience! Thanks tom really appreciated it!

We joined Captain Glenn at darling harbour with its smart & classy teak wood cruiser and cruised around the harbour for two hours; It was time quite well spent ! Captain Glenn was very nice, friendly and accomodating. We had a bottle of "champagne" with cheese. It was a super experience which gave us a good idea of sydney. we would encourage everyone else to do .
