Dubai New Year eve - We are asked to meet at 9pm but the boat did not leave till 10.30pm. The food was ok even though by the time we ate it was cold. To serve the food they said they would go table by table but everyone ended up just going up leading in a chaotic experience. We paid extra to seat on the top deck but when it was time to see the fireworks all the lower deck people came up, obstructing the view. Might as well have paid for lower deck if there would be no difference in the views. The fireworks themselves were very far away and you couldn’t see much on the water, it would have been much better on land. Overall not the best experience. The only positive was the local dancing at the end.

The cruise listed that it... - The cruise listed that it would start at 9pm on New Year’s Eve. My husband and I made a point to be on time, so we wouldn’t get left behind. The boat didn’t leave the harbor until 10:34pm 😡 there were a lot of unhappy people, especially those with children because they were either already sleeping or hungry and restless. I took a picture showing that the food didn’t arrive until like 10:20pm 🙄 and then they rushed it on the boat. Even before the delivered food came we witnessed one crew member serve and take a buffet of food to one of the tables over an hour before anyone else was able to get in line ( table by table) to eat. This was disrespectful to the other passenger's who also paid money. Once we finally left, we were the last boat to leave the harbor. Some people wanted to stand during the trip to see the fireworks, but everyone had to remain seated while on other boats they were allowed to stand, walk around, and even dance in some boats during the trip. In my review I am being generous due to the tasty food.

Do not repeat - It was a bad experience, it was not well what was offered. There was an hour delay in the boat, just with a bottle of water. Sasrifatoria food. Gentle employees, maybe to make up. Decoration nothing, tables without towels, for the price that was paid, at least a paper towel. The show that was on the show was done in a hurry, nothing good. There was never an explanation for the delay. It was visible that it was the food that arrived at 22:20h.....it would be better to rethink doing with this tour company. The msg that we sent before to know information were not answered. There was a response on a phone, which said that parking was difficult, but no options were suggested.

Disgusting, cheap and dirty experience at inflated prices - It was very poorly prepared and poorly organized: there were no detailed instructions on how to find the ship and which ship exactly; the ship was small and cramped (Cleopatra 1 & 2), old and shabby, dirty; when boarding, the boarding manager was actively collecting unaccounted fees of 300 AED per person (without receipts) in order to place us on the upper deck - this option was not specifically provided for in the announcement; and then the lower deck turned out to be empty - no one was supposed to be placed there, since the vessel was too small; the lighting in this tub was too bright and interfered with taking photos; the music was excessively loud and it was impossible to talk at the same table; having filled the entire ship with passengers, we were kept for 2 hours without any announcements, without drinks and without food - we just waited for the crew to load the supplies that they did not think to buy and load in advance; the obligatory guide in English never showed up - we looked for everything ourselves using Internet maps; There were no tables for a family, 5, 6, 7 people had to push each other around small, untidy, dirty tables; the food was the most primitive, cheap and tasteless; the promised show and dancing were only given to us after special requests from passengers, according to the shortest program just before returning to port. A disgusting, cheap and dirty experience at inflated prices.

Horrible to run away - A horrible experience, I definitely do not recommend it. The pictures of the boat do not correspond to reality. Plastic tablecloths on tables, plastic cups with a bottle of water. We were 13 and were treated to 2 tiny tables where we ate on top of each other. The boat was supposed to leave at 9 pm but did not leave until 10:40 pm without any explanation and without anything to eat. Cleopatra Cruise is on the run. 346€ per person just for a view of the Burj Khalifa without any services to match it is expensive paid. It is a scam

Did not experience this event - My family and I did not get to experience this event. We stopped by the ticket booth earlier in the day and discovered the event description provided prior to purchase significantly misrepresented the actual content and value. The event fell short of our expectations. Furthermore, the cost of $200 per person appears excessive relative to the quality and scope of the type of event and the outdated boat. The advertised value undermines the confidence we had in attending and investing in this event for $200 per person.

A total mess - Boat Cleopatra: Bad food even partially cold. 1.5 hours late departure because the food had not yet been delivered. Bad unprofessional show. Uncomfortable chairs. After 1.5 hours we finally got something to drink other than water. The whole Sevice service bad and unprofessional. That was our New Year's Eve 2025, never again!!!

It was not well organized... - It was not well organized tour, people were arguing for table assignment and supposed to depart 9PM but actually departed around 10:30PM without any explanation. Food was just so so, paid over $330 per person but not worth at all. I have no idea why Viator allows this transaction which is $50 with tour charging over $330. Don’t try this tour, stay away!!
