The sunsets on this dinner cruise was absolutely beautiful!! The staff was attentive, friendly, and worked hard to make our cruise enjoyable. My only complaint was that the dinner included pork and I don’t eat pork. If you have special dietary needs, you need to let them know 48 hours before your cruise. The curry rice also came with the meal, but it was nothing to brag about. I loved the cheesecake. I also recommend you bring a jacket or sweater because you will need it. I definitely will recommend others to take the dinner cruise and purchase it from the company directly, its about $20 more on Viator & Expedia.
