Boat is clean & spacious. Allocated Seating and dinner is on top deck so great view. The 2 hour cruise gave us plenty of time to see the lights of Dubai from the water which was amazing. Food was Arabic which was a little spicy for my taste but was well cooked and plentiful. Staff were very attentive & on board entertainment was tops (very good saxophonist) A very enjoyable 2 hours.

We really enjoyed this cruise. We had a nice table for two overlooking the water so had great views. The transport to and from was very professional. We were greeted and had photos taken with no pressure to buy. We decided against the alcohol package and only had the soft drink provided as alcohol is very expensive in Dubai. There was a great variety of food and plenty of it, you definitely won’t go hungry. All the staff were were friendly and efficient.

Ride was great looking at all the beautiful sights. Never given the option of whether we wanted top or lower deck, so we had to be moving to the top to see the sights. Food was good and very plentiful, you could eat all the time during cruise. Missed having ice on our drinks, especially in this warm weather. Other than that it was ok. Would recommend for a night out if nothing to do.
