Good show but would not recommend the food - Trip was good. Transfer from hotel was not good. Driver’s assistant was smoke ng in van—I am extremely allergic to smoke. They dropped us in the middle of the street where we had to cross in traffic. Food was mediocre but the shoe was good.

Ok, but not great - Was ok but nothing great. You are packed in and service was rushed. Very busy and loud. Couldn't see much out the windows. Not what I expected.

if you're 60 and British you'll love it....if not, pass - I'm not the intended crowd, maybe better for big tour groups of older individuals. food was good but dancing performances was a bit underwhelming and I thought there would be more to the show, like a narrative or an introduction to what the dances were and the historical relevance. I think I made the mistake of trusting the high ratings but I've come to the conclusion that dinner cruises are boring if you're not over 50. if you're staying in a nearby hotel and need something to do for the night, it's probably worth it but I was staying on the Asian side and did not qualify for pickup so I had to also get there myself. best for large, older tour groups, maybe older couples.
