Has anyone taken the Dinner cruise? Was it fun? Food good? Worth doing? I'll be there near end of November, will weather be good for a dinner cruise? Any information appreciated, thanks.

I tried it sometime back.
For me, it was just a thing to do, neither fun nor romantic.

Hi there,
The weather could be perfect! Then again it could be overcast and rain....come November the build up to the wet season is in force.Don't panic, it won't be raining everyday( I hope!!) and it's still hot even when it rains:)

I heard this cruise being advertised on the local radio station, personally I wouldn't want to do it, I can't see it being very exciting dining while cruising the inlet.

There is a comapny up here, either in Port Douglas or Cairns, I am sure they would have pickups in Cairns for it, it's called Flames in the Forest, or maybe it's Flames of the Forest, something like that, a take off of Sounds of Silence dinner at Uluru, if this is anyway like the Sound of Silence, I think it would be a good one to do.
Sorry I don't know anyone that has done this one.You could do it and then tell us about it:)

If you like seafood and are looking for value, you can't go past the Buffet dinner at the Cairns International Hotel. This is in a lovely dining area, it's around $69Aus per person, not including drink, you have Moreton Bay Bugs, prawns, oysters and lots of other wonderful food to enjoy, hot and cold and the sweets are really yummy:)It's an upmarket variety of Buffet.The seafood is always yummy and fresh....
This is held each night at the International, I would book for this one.
It is so much better value than a lot of the Restaurants along the main eating area, the Esplanade. I go out for dinner regularly and really it's hard to beat the value of the Buffet.

Hi, thanks for the information and reply. I'd like do go to the Flames in the Forest, but they don't seem to operate every night, and not the night's I am in Cairns. Too bad, the Flames in the Forest looks very interesting. Thanks again for the help.
