The service of the cruise staff was great. Food was good. Enjoyed the narrated sites, nice romantic music and upbeat at the same time. Cruise was very well organized and staff were very attentive.

If you book this dinner cruise, eat before you go or make a dinner reservation for after. Ad said we would be greeted with a drink and pupus. Good drink, no pupus. Ad said "gourmet" meal. It was very poor. The tiniest little baby pork rib with less than two ounces of meat on it, a pile of white rice, and some veggies in a greenish sauce that was so gross looking my wife wouldn't even look at her plate. I did try the veggies and they did taste better than they looked. Cruise was nice, staff was attentive and friendly, history was interesting. I would book the cruise, but not the dinner version.
