Valentines Day on the Sydney Showboat

The Hubby and I spend our valentines night being entertained by Sydney Showboats. The Hubby's Mum had got us vouchers for Christmas for the showboat so we put them to good use and booked for Valentines Day.
The boats themselves are beautiful old paddle steamers that have been fully refurbished top suit the show requirements.
 As we cruised around the harbor at a leisurely pace taking in the beautiful sights of the Opera house and bridge we were treated to a delicious 3 course meal starting with an entree platter of smoked salmon rolls, Tandoori spiced chicken drumettes & chilli garlic prawns. For mains I had Northern rivers prime veal cutlet with mushroom and ricotta tart  while the hubby got oven roasted chicken breast with asparagus, porcini mushrooms, mash & champagne cream. Dessert was a gorgeous platter of vanilla bean panacotta, rich chocolate cake and heavenly tiramisu.

After dinner we were treated to a wonderful show of dazzling dancers, fantastic costuming and fabulous vocal numbers.
All in all it was a wonderful way to spend valentines day!

Prices for cruises start at $100 a head and include a 3 hour cruise with 3 course meal, wine, beer and all soft drinks and the fabulous showboats show! You can book your ticket here
