Simple but fun - The trip is unsophisticated but fun. Our VIP experience included table service rather than the advertised buffet. The service was friendly and the amount of food provided for two would have fed a hungry family.

Show ok. Unclean place. Bad food - The food was ok, but too spicy, not for kids and for people.do not like spice (no options). Place unclean and the ladies restroom without paper. The show was good but not exceptional. The place very old, for example the chairs not cleaned enough. Drinks only a similar to coke. No water nor dessert. Please consider other optiions.

Dinner cruise with fish fingers - Was not the best experience. We were booked for the 20.00 sailing and waited for 90 minutes despite being told at 20:20 it would arrive in 5 minutes, we finally left at 21:30 an hour and a half late Others were booked for the 21:00 sailing and it seemed as if all were joined up to add to the numbers, would have preferred an honest answer initially We set sail and were given a bottle of water plus a glass of coca cola. Dinner was served down stairs and when we came back on deck another party were eating on our table as the crew had made an exception for them, this summarised the night We asked the crew why they had moved our drinks and set the table for someone when everyone else was instructed to stay on the lower deck and eat there. It was a sorry and a shrug of the shoulders The food consisted of traditional food with noodles, salads chicken and fish fingers!! never been on a dinner cruise and been offered fish fingers before Entertainment was traditional with dancers and a guy with a cloak, - had notes in his mouth and waved them in front of you so that you got the idea to tip On a plus note the boat is beautiful In all would not recommend it which is a shame as we were very much looking forward to it

Poor Experience - We booked a cruise which served alcohol but on arrival were told it doesn’t and it is Viators fault. After much discussion the guy arranged for us to go on another boat which did have wine. Boat was a bit rough in places, we were in the VIP section and could smell exhaust fumes. Wine was very expensive to purchase and the food was ordinary to say the least. It was also 99% Indian food, NOT international buffet as stated. Entertainment while you dine was one performance only that went for 10 mins. Overall a very tired experience. I’m sure the operator will try and deny all this in their reply but I have no reason to tell anything but the truth. It’s certainly not the romantic, relaxing cruise with sumptuous food. And one more thing, the music was far too loud, more like a disco than a relaxing dinner cruise. Would not recommend

Americans tourists got scammed in dinner cruise - I was scammed by the sale agent and your operator. I ask for Marina dinner cruise and I pay $380. For it . But unfortunately they sent me to one and half hour away ride to cruise cost only $13 a person. And I and my Americans family refused to take the cruise because wasn’t the one I asked for. And your operator will not answer my calls but only send me voicemail. We are staying on the Palm Jumeirah just next to the Marina and I told your agent that. The taxi driver told us we pay way too much for the cruise the one you sent us to. I think tomorrow Monday I am going to call to report my bad experience with you. But I am going to go to the marina and book dinner cruise for my family because my two grandsons really get upset and we still want to go on the cruise next Saturday night. Thank you Riad

Worst Experience - I booked the trip through Trip Advisor and messaged the company if they could pick up us at the hotel. In the morning I received a message from some saying they are the driver and share the location which I did. I asked what time was the pick up on four separate occasions and the driver said let you know shortly. At 6:00 pm I received a message from him pick up at 6.45 and with in minutes three other drivers texting me saying they are downstairs to pick us up. This was one of the worst experiences I had traveling anywhere. Very frustrating!

Awful experience - Boat left an hour late as they were still trying to tout for business even though we had booked a time slot. Kids were starving as we were supposed to leave the docks at 20 30 but didn't leave until 2145. Toilet floors were full of water and stunk. No toilet roll in either and we hadn't even left so it hadnt ran out. Cab on way home was one of the scariest journeys of my life.(this came as part of the package and was organised by the boat company) I had my 4 children in the car, the driver was speeding and driving like he was on a race track then proceeded to use his mobile phone at high speed in the outside lane. I wanted to get out. I was so tempted to ask him to take us to the nearest train station as I didn't think we would get back alive and this is no exaggeration. He was jerking the car and I thought he was falling asleep! To top it off, all 6 of us have suffered explosive diarrhoea so not been able to leave the all hotel all day today! Don't do it!

Pray You Don't Fall Sick - The dhow looks good. Thats it. Your disappointment starts once you sit on the table for dinner. For vegetarians, please avoid it. Find some other better place. The view of the creek is good but you can experience it from any other dinner cruise.
