Traveler reviews
Terrible experience
A terrible cruise dinner! Waiting for water about one hour, very unfriendly waiter, cold main dish (fish) and against the order no fruits, no dessert and no coffee.
Average dinner, great entertainment & views
It was alright, boarding was long, pick up was 20 minutes late, but great communication Slow to be able to get drinks Food was average no great. Plan to tip the person who gives you drinks, only 2 on the entire ship. Music & performance was very good. Views of lit up Istanbul's excellent
A great party!
The pickup was an hour late. I was unable to get responses during that hour. I eventually received a text and location pin. We walked to the pickup. At the boat we initially had difficulty getting drinks / waited on. Once all of that was done we had a great time. Lots of fun seeing the various Turkish dancers. Then it evolved into a party. Well worth it.
Boat trip ok, show ok, food ok
A pleasant boat tour. Everyone did their best. Very friendly staff. Average food and average show. If you are looking for luxury and something special is wrong here. With us it was still relatively empty as we drove in March. I can imagine that with more people it can get more exhausting as they are relatively close together and there are not a lot of staff. Those who want to see the show should choose tables close to the stage. If you don’t like loud music and value professionalism at the show and quality food, this is the wrong place. Free soft drinks (if option booked).
