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.

There were around 50 guests for the 11.30am show. The food was lamb shank or chicken which both worked well. We went from Darling Harbour to the Opera house and back out to the Gladesville bridge. A nice temperature day and a good time was...held by all. The boat is a older one and looks very well used (like most of the passenger as well) however very clean inside and good facilities. Good value for money and we throughly enjoyed it. Well done crew and band.More

Had a great afternoon cruising Sydney Harbour on a Elvis themed harbour cruise. The entertainment was excellent and the lunch tasty. This is not the first cruise we’ve done on the Rhythm Boat. They do Beatles , ABBA and various other tribute cruises which are...always great fun. If you wish to enjoy a great view of the Harbour while still listening to the music the top open deck is wonderful. Will definitely be doing more cruises in 2020.More

Booked abba cruise with a 3 course meal and abba tribute show for a friend's 50th staying in Syd overnight. At 4pm we were notified boat was broken down and substitute boat was given also no 3 course meal but instead pizza. And no band...but a D.J. Getting on the boat which was late arriving it was obvious there were not enough tables set up for the amount of people on board. We waiting in the middle of darling harbour till the pizzas arrived which there was also not enough of not was it supervised as to how many pieces to have. One table took 4 boxes leaving everyone else to have limited pieces. After people complaining we went back to a rock to get 5 more boxes of pizza. The D.J was arrogant and rude. The trip after leaving late came back to the dock on time so we weren't even out for our alotted amount of time. I was under the impression that if you book something and things change you are offered the equivalent or better 3 cold pieces of pizza is not better. We wrote to them asking for a refund and were ignored so wrote again we have been ignored and no refund offered. I will not go on any future cruises run by this company.More

A very disappointing evening, late notice that the “ABBA” part of the night had been cancelled, the 3course meal was now pizza and groups were split up due to very bad organisation, an extremely rude, abusive cruise director was the last straw, this was definitely...an event not to be repeatedMore

sorry for the late response they do have a ramp that goes onto the boat which is wide enough for a wheel chair. I would ring the company before you book your tickets
