Lovely night on a boat! - Lovely live show and gorgeous meal! We really enjoyed our experience. We were collected from our hotel and brought back to the hotel after the show. It was a very relaxing cruise, beautiful music and romantic atmosphere, great service and wonderful performance. Highly recommend this.

Memorable! - Overall, it was a great experience. The views of the bridge are amazing. The food was interesting but good. The dancing was really great. The music got to be alittle loud after a while. The pick up time was a bit messy. We were told one time and then it changed at the last minute.

A bit overrated. - The hotel pickup was late for an hour, we waited under the snow for an hour. The boat supposed to leave the port by 8:45pm, but it departed at 9:30pm. Some of the passengers left the boat after waiting for long time. However, the performances onboard are awesome.

Not great. - This was different than anticipated, but it was a fairly cheap experience and I think I probably got what I paid for. On the good side, the sights and lights of a night on the bosphorous were great, and we had access to the top deck rear of the boat to see things. The waiting staff were efficient and kind and looked after the table well. On the not good, the eating area on the lower deck was tightly packed, and noisy. The food was very average to poor. The entre just a spoonful of each of about 5 different pastes or hummus. The fish main was dry and unseasoned and the desert that I had was a piece of baklava. The drinks were plentiful, but low quality. The entertainment area was a gap between the tables such that half the people had their backs to the dancers, and once a few people stood up, you really couldn't see anything. I got a few good photos of the bosphorous at night, but it's probably better to take an evening cruise, or even catch a ferry and then go out for a nicer meal.

Poor explaination - I was expecting a table of 2 not to sit in a group of people, they should’ve made it clear, almost everyone was surprised to see that.
