Great dinner great price great time

Lauren_G, May 2025

This was so much fun, you get so much food and it was really good. I loved the dancing the crowd interaction just a good time overall I would definitely recommend !

Misleading Time Schedule

Dennis_R, Jul 2024

When booking, starting time was 7 pm with a duration of 90 minutes. But after confirmation starting time was delayed to 8:30 pm. We had no chance to take part, because of our departure on that evening. It was very annoying to "get" the entry ticket. With the purchase of the tour you are told to present the voucher at an office in the city to get the entry tickets. When you are there, you are told, that it isnt necessary to present the voucher. This whole thing isnt planned professionally by the provider.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Dear Dennis, We are sorry for your misunderstanding, if you read correctly that we pick up guests (if sharing transfers selected) 1 hr to 1.5 hrs before the cruising time and hence the pick up time is mentioned as 7 PM.

Dubai by Dhow

shae_G, Oct 2023

Gorgeous view of the city skyline. Food was excellent as was the dancer. The reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 was I would have liked a little bit of commentary just inform as to where we were and some of the landmarks we were passing.

A Down cruise on Dubai Creek

Stanley_K, Oct 2022

The pick - up arrangement was good. Very well communicated and update from driver. The cruise like most mentioned was great and sailing along the creek was mesmerising and rare site especially at night with lighted boats, buildings and surroundings. My only feedback will be good if the organiser provides some updates on what to expect, crowd control, label the food/menu, etc. Maybe its me but good to have a much friendlier or approachable staff to make the cruise more pleasant & unique.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Well noted feedback and we will take into consideration your comments. Thank you for your feedback and we look forward to your support always whenever you are in Dubai next.

Super Preis

Nadine_L, Jan 2020

Für den Preis super, gutes Essen mit einiger Auswahl vom Buffet. Der Creek ist jetzt nicht ganz so interessant, kurze Showeinlage, aber gut.

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Thank you very much for your appreciative feedback. yes we have other dinner cruise options such as Festival City & Dubai Marina instead of the Creek area. Please feel free to try the others next time. Best Regards.
