This cruise experience was not a pleasant experience at all. I would recommend a yacht experience instead. Considering it was labeled as a festival, the atmosphere was dull and uneventful. However, sailing in the evening and seeing the beautiful lit up buildings was nice.

Food was bad, show was nothing excited about it and they only spent like 10 seconds on the fountain and that’s it, just two hours you’re sitting on the same chair and that’s it.

The experience was very poor, I booked this trip for my birthday with friends and none of the shows featured happened .the food sanitation was questionable as some of the trays were spotted by the bathroom as we were getting on the boat .

Excursión no recomendable por publicidad engañosa de VIATOR.
No cumple en absoluto las expectativas mías como Cliente!!!
Por qué ponen Fotos que NO se corresponden con la realidad?
Ya me he quejado y enviado un correo a VIATOR por Publicidad de esta excursión " totalmente engañosa"
Espero una respuesta de VIATOR
Gracias

Dear Ms.Elena,
The Entertainment shows in festival city is not the part of our management. it is managed by Majid Al Futtaim - Festival City Mall.
