Cruise and Holmes managed to create quite a stir aboard the Arctic P. Charter boats full of city office workers out for Friday night. Drinks slowed down to sail by the famous ship, and Cruise obliged by giving the thumbs-up and yelling, inaudibly, to the partygoers, much to Holmes's delight.

The mood had lightened from a few hours earlier, when Cruise and Holmes joined the Packer family at the Sydney Opera House. The couple later retired to their cabin aboard the Arctic P, where it was thought they intended to spend the night.
