点评:We did the dinner cruise on January 4th 2025.
It departs at 6pm from in front of the Honeysuckle Hotel and returns to the same spot at 9pm.
The cruise first goes up the North Channel of the Hunter River, under Stockton Bridge and then turns back at Fern Bay, before heading up the south channel for a look at the coal loading berths. Finally, into the basin at Carrington and up Throsby Creek before back to the starting point.
The views are fantastic, especially on sunset; the best time to go was during dinner when everyone was clamoring around the buffet. We had the entire upper deck to ourselves. The food was better than expected and beers at $8 to $9 were reasonable.
We counted 24 tables on the boat, 12 by the windows, 6 one table in from the windows and 6 "unlucky" tables right in the middle. We were one of those. I wonder how they allocate seating (it's all random, I'm sure). Anyway, we still had a nice time.
翻译:我们于 2025 年 1 月 4 日参加了晚餐巡游。
它于晚上 6 点从 Honeysuckle 酒店前出发,晚上 9 点返回同一地点。
巡游首先沿 Hunter 河北水道上行,穿过 Stockton 桥,然后在 Fern Bay 折返,然后沿南水道上行,参观煤炭装卸泊位。最后,进入 Carrington 盆地,沿 Throsby Creek 上行,然后返回起点。
景色非常美妙,尤其是在日落时分;最佳游览时间是晚餐时分,那时每个人都在自助餐周围吵闹。整个上层甲板都是我们的。食物比预期的要好,8 到 9 美元的啤酒价格合理。
我们数了一下,船上有 24 张桌子,12 张靠窗,6 张靠窗的桌子,6 张“倒霉”的桌子就在中间。我们就是其中一张。我想知道他们是如何分配座位的(我敢肯定,这都是随机的)。无论如何,我们仍然度过了愉快的时光。
