Worst experience!! Dirty boat, disheveled staff, food served next to toilet. Bait and Switch advertising. AVOID!!!

Never Again! Hell on Water! 😡 Oversold, shabby, dirty, poor food served next to toilet, angry staff ripped jeans. Ripped carpet, broken seating - bad name for UAE.

Mismatch in cruise name booking and bad food

The booking had a different name than the actual cruise. The address was wrong, we had to walk .5 miles at least to the location. Then we had to check with every cruise and finally found the one which we booked. It was unorganized. Food was also just ok, not good.

Expected more quality of service and food

The wrong food and lousy drink service. There are better, cheaper options. They must get better. The dancing boy is the only rescueable thing

Average experience

Average experience. Should have picked Dubai Merina tour instead of Dubai Creek tour. Average food. The arabian/sufi dance (don't remember the exact name) was great and the highlight of this event for us.

Just Ok

Wow this is crazy. To eat people swarm, push and show. To watch shows it’s worse. The actual people that organize are nice and work hard but there is no order. I would not recommend if you are a tourist. The offer other items, then they tell you you have to pay extra. Then they say you can pay with card and make a fuzz about Patti g with card. A Juice they say is 15Dirhams and when they charge it’s 25 each. Not a wonderful experience.

Just terrible!

We booked a dhow ride on New Year's Eve with 5 star catering and a table for 4 people. Unfortunately, the boat trip was terrible. Poorly organized, a single mess. This led to great dissatisfaction among visitors. Unfortunately, the table of 4 we booked was not available. The food was below average and drinks were only brought after a 3 hour wait. There was no coffee or tea. All in all, the ride was just overpriced and completely unpleasant! I wouldn't recommend it to anyone!
