Fellow OzBargainers,
We have secured a nice deal for Melbourne Cup. Pay $65 for a three-hour lunch cruise with a seafood and carvery buffet, and watch the race.
What's Included:
- $65 per adult for a three-hour lunch cruise around Sydney Harbour
- TV screens to watch the race live
- Seafood and carvery buffet lunch with desserts and fruit platters
- Spacious indoor & outdoor decks for 360 degree views
- Allocated indoor seated dining
- Prizes and giveaways
I know its not a public holiday, that's why I ask if people in Sydney just take the day off via Annual leave or the employer just let them finish early at 12pm.
I know some people companies actually go out on Melbourne cup day and get on the piss.
Most companies I've worked for in Sydney have given the afternoon off, either to do your own thing or a company organised event.
Voucher can be used for brunch cruise only. Cruise duration is for three hours. Lunch cruises are 1pm - 4pm.
Is this for a brunch cruise or lunch cruise?
Do they remain within Darling Harbour? - if so there's not much cruising to be had there.
Finally is this self-serve so i can eat for 5 people?
Tbh the real deal is $20 extra for unlimited beer / wine
Here here …without the booze option i would be overboard in minutes of boredom! Especially with work colleagues crikey!
OP @TravelzooAustralia spends time posting this, but no time answering questions even though they've been back here since.
Not a good look. You might like to review your approach…

Do people normally take the day off in Sydney on Melbourne Cup day?
Just very curious to know what employers provide to their employees in Sydney.
