Great value for money

Well organized and fun trip. We opted for pick up and return from our hotel which was included in price. This made the difference for us. The service on board was excellent, the food plentiful and varied. Entertainment from a colourful 'spinning' man was unusual and enjoyable. The only downside was the wait to get on to boat and then again on board before we actually departed. Al in all, a great trip with exceptional value for money. Recommended.

Good but no consideration of mobility of a person

The communication about our transfer was good Arrived at the marina and took a walk "at pace" to join our queue Issued with a table number Another walk "at pace" to our show Joined our table with another couple There was minimal room in between tables The indian buffet food was tasty and hot we had soft drink with our meal Plenty of opportunity for taking photos Photographer on board 75 aed per photo he takes 3 we bought 1 Entertainment was enjoyable a man dancing around and around with lights on his clothes After 2 hours back in the marina then a good walk back to the mini bus we had 10 minutes to get back The reason for 3 stars was really about the walking with no consideration of a person's mobility I have asthma and it was very difficult for me Some tours had golfing type carts to take them to the car park, this would have been a great option for me if it had been possible

To be avoided at all costs

Everything was disappointing: meals, entertainment, the boat turned on itself, no interest. The boat was very ordinary

Operator response

We are really sad as your experience is mediocre but we assure you that this is highly rated cruise considering the other similar cruise in Marina. Thanks

Very nice ride, entry and exit chaotic

Checking in is very chaotic. You should always use the shuttle service, otherwise you won't find it. There are a lot of ships leaving there. We had received tickets with QR codes, but the names are searched for by lists. We almost didn't want to be taken because our names weren't found. After about 15 minutes, our names were found. On the ship, however, our seats were reserved and there was a very nice buffet. The ride itself is very nice, it goes through the entire marina. In the end, the way to the exit was not marked, we and many others left as we had come. In the end, we had to turn back.

Operator response

Thank you for your kind review, please note that marina harbor is busy area with all water activities opened that's why we recommend to book with transfer service. We really apologize for any unconvinced and we are glad you like the cruise. Thanks
