Decent Experience - It was a decent experience. The performances were good too but it was too crowded, so it was not always clearly visible. Drinks were unlimited, which was good but food was average to be honest. Apart from that, eye capturing views of Bosphorus can never seizes to amaze you. Overall, decent experience.

Great Show Night! - Great staff & entertainment. Very busy so food was not served promptly. We arrived early & seated near the entertainment area. Show promptly started & enjoyed the dancers!

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.

Greedy shipowner - The ship owner had crammed the Moby Dick ship to its full length tables that felt like being on a crowded bus. The slender waiters could hardly move between the tables. But when some chubby guy tried to leave the table, everyone had to get up to make room. So this is not a romantic cruise where you enjoy good food and admire the scenery, rather a canteen where you eat institutional food in a terrible noise and cramped conditions. The ship owner also doesn't seem to pay much wages because both the waiters and the performers had to beg for money separately.
