Melbourne docks river cruise

I purchased tickets at a discounted price. The price paid made the cruise worthwhile however, I would not pay full price for this. While points of interest were explained, most of the commentary was an AI generated recording. The main lady at the ticket kiosk was abrupt, showing very little friendly customer service.
