When we saw a boat docked whilst waiting for ours, we regretted not waiting to book until we got to the pier especially as our boat didnt look as great from the exterior. However once we boarded, the service was impeccable, right from the greeting to the already laid starters at the reserved tables. Food was well above my expectations, drinks were constantly served and the entertainment was great. Our waiter (Ibrahim, if Im not mistaken), was so attentive and professional - my family and I were very impressed by it all when compared other dinner cruises we have paid similar prices to in…”
