We booked the dinner cruise with the Friday fireworks. We were picked up at a hotel that was 15 minutes walk from where we were staying. We had communicated via email asking what hotel would be closer, but got no reply.
Boarded the ship & was a little disappointed we didn’t receive a lei.
We were sat at a table with 2 other girls who were a bit stand offish, but we didn’t care, we were having fun. The entree of salad with a mango dressing was already on the table as were bread & bread sticks. We had a complimentary glass (well half a glass) of bubbles which seemed non alcoholic to me.
There was also a self serve platter of cheeses, crackers & fruit which was tasty.
The entertainer Michael (I think) was great & we enjoyed his singing & ukulele.
The lobster came out & my friend had never had it before so it was a bit of a struggle for her. We thought there was supposed to be crab claws as well, but they never showed up.
My entree was vegan (uugghh) stuffed tomatoes with rice. Very plain & needed sauce or cheese! They don’t cater for vegetarians who eat dairy, only vegans. The main was marginally better for me with vegan mozzarella & more veggies. My friend said her steak was delicious.
Dessert was nice, a little mango cheesecake.
When the fireworks started, we had to fight our way past all the Japanese tourists who were not giving up an inch of space so we could get a picture! The boat felt like it was going to tip over! We still enjoyed it despite being glared at by a little old Japanese lady.
Back out our table & the show began. It was fun & certainly not authentic, but it got everyone going. We didn’t get up & dance but everyone else did.
Overall a fun night, the service was a bit hit & miss & we had to ask a few times for things, but it didn’t ruin our night.
Would I go again? Maybe.
