Dinner and cruise - It was a very good experience. It was very fun. I went on my birthday and the stuff surprosed me with a song and a drink. I was very thoughtful. Everyone was very kind, polite and proficient. And the dj made a very good playlist every one was on their feet dancing. The dancers and the performers were very exciting.

Amazing - The views were incredible and the show they provided inside the ship connects us a little with the culture

Not quite up to expectations. - A fun night but very average food, extremely loud music and the pick up/ drop off service was poorly comunicated and 35mins later than the appointed time causing concern.

Long wait for drinks but amazing night in the end - On arrival starters were on the tables, we then waited 30 min for drinks to be served.Towards the end of the night the waiter was more attentive. Overall the entertainment was fantastic. Please make sure if you are having any alcohol that you book the correct package which is really good value for money.

Un scrupulous tour operator amazing dinner cruise - The dinner cruise itself was 5 stars. However the your operator was sly so only rates a 1 star. We booked with hotel pickup. But as we were in the area decided to make our own way to the pickup point. Which we thought worked well for ourselves and meant one less pickup for the tour operator. Towards the end of the tour we message to see where we would be picked up, as we had not been dropped off. I was then asked which hotel I was going too. It was then outside there area. When I checked my booking it now mysteriously said drop off point same as pickup point. If you do go with this company. Make sure you copy/screen shot all communication. We had to go on to getting a taxi to get back to our hotel. A good value trip became an expensive one

All inclusive- not worth the money bad food and drinks - We expected more for the price. Dubai was three times cheaper and the food and drinks were much better there, there was a buffet and more choice. The music was better too. We also expected more from the belly dancers, only one came and danced briefly. So it wasn't bad but much too expensive for the price! We had booked all inclusive for 116 euros for two people. The same in Dubai all inclusive with buffet, DJ and 3 hour trip only 60 euros in total, so about 30 per person.

Bad experience overall - Worst pickup driver ever. He was on the phone (holding the phone) all the time talking to whoever. He almost closed the sliding door on my girlfriend hand. Tour itself was very crowded the said it is max of 49 people. But it was beyond 100 people. Food was ok. Had to remember the waiter couple of times to get us our drinks. The price compared to what you get is way expensive and I would not recommend it at all.

Failed, terrible experience. … - Simply rejected. Horrible and poor food. Uncommentable, but the worst is the main course.. Asked for a "beef" menu, they brought 4 pieces of mixed meat that smelled heavily of lamb. My partner took the fish menu and a tasteless fish arrived. Just passable show. All sitting together at large tables. Wine that Tavernello would prove to be a nectar. I'm still on the ship and can't wait to get off. 50 euros each for not eating, not seeing the view. A huge success!!

Scammer - avoid at all costs - ##TLDR - this organizer is a complete scammer. Do not book with them. In fact do not book these trips at all through these online sites - you can buy tickets for the cruise at the dock for less than 5% of the rort they are trying to pull here. Part of the scam is that this person selling tickets here does not actually have anything to do with the boat. He has simply bought tickets and then on sells at inflated price.## We paid $1000 aud for a private table for new years cruise. Before we even got on the boat it was a nightmare - waiting around 1 hour to board in a huddled mass of poor souls. Then got on the boat - we didn't even have an actual table or any seating for us. Organizer told us to wait for a couple of hours while he got boat staff to make us a table. During this time rest of cruise was sitting and eating while we were just standing there. Organizer then told us after two hours that boat crew wouldn't allow a table and we should just sit wherever we could. Sat at a table. Different organizer of that table started yelling at us and threatening us to get off the boat. Argument between two organisers ensues and we are eventually allowed to sit at a table where people have paid $30 a ticket. By this time food is 3 hours cold and inedible. Organizer on boat then simply tells us not his problem and he is just a driver. We text the scammer who took our money off TripAdvisor - he tries to gaslight us that everyone has paid $1000 ( for a couple) to sit at a crowded crappy table and eat bad food. Then stops responding. Reviewing the cruise itself for $30 tickets- pretty standard 3 star experience. Even if food was warm it didn't look appetizing. Entertainment was 3 stars nothing terrible just what you'd expect from an eastern European cruise in 1980. To save fuel cruise actually didn't do much cruising - most of the time was just stationary and moored about 50 meters from shore.
