- Note that the ticket exchange area is near the lakefront. Try not to go to the realNZ inside, as they'll give you a sour look (and it's probably not their job to do so). - The queue for boarding the boat is next to the restaurant on the lakefront, as shown in the photo. We arrived quite late, so there weren't many seats once we boarded the boat, but that wasn't a problem. We were able to tour the facilities and get an introduction to the history of steamships. - Alcohol, drinks, and some food are available on board, and there's a surcharge for paying with credit cards. - Those who plan to have a BBQ will dine at the restaurant ashore upon arrival. It's a buffet, and the first order is divided into sections. You can choose from chicken, pork, fish, lamb, and even venison. The desserts are also good, with a variety of cheese options. However, the waiters aren't very quick to replenish the dishes, and sometimes even seem to stop replenishing them later. 🤣 The food is put away, which is a bit different from a buffet in Taiwan. - After about 1-1.5 hours of eating, you can go to the nearby ranch to watch the sheep show and then explore the ranch. 20-30 minutes later, you'll board the boat for the return trip. There was a live piano performance on the boat, and I even got a lyrics booklet so I could sing along on the second floor! It was super fun and heartwarming.
It's very convenient to install with just one click. If you encounter any problems, you can report them to the customer service and they respond immediately, which makes me feel safe. Currently in Melbourne, there may be more people in the city center, so the Internet speed may be slower sometimes, but I think it is sufficient for now.
