We had a great time on this dinner cruise. the staff was polite, funny and patient with our group of six kids 11 and under. They gladly switched out sparkling water for still. the performers were great. we had a really lovely evening.

I enjoyed the traditional dancers. it was nice to have the musicians come to each table to play and dance for us. The Hungarian food was really nice and blends with the theme. I would definitely recommend.

It was an enjoyable experience. The Hungarian food was tasty. The music was entertaining; however, the violinist could have played better. We missed the dancers on our end that we saw on the other end of the ship. The best part was near the end when the two dancers came to our table and one of them put a bottle on my friend's head and I snapped a photo. Then they did if for me. Those were two of our favorite photos of our trip to Budapest!
