Overall, the boat experience with Alexander was very enjoyable. Great atmosphere, good music, tasty food, and beautiful views — everything was well organized and we truly enjoyed the trip. However, there was one unpleasant issue with the payment. We ordered prosecco for 250 AED. Since we did not have enough dirhams, we paid 100 USD. We received 20 USD in change, but the banknotes were very old and worn out, and I was unable to exchange them anywhere. This was the only downside to an otherwise very good experience, but payment details like this do affect the overall impression. I hope this can be taken into account in the future.

I loved the experience the crew creates with serene views and I can say o was serendipitous tonne one to witness. I will suggest to always go for upper deck to see the dazzling skyscrapers and mesmerising calmness of the sea.

Food was not upto par at all. Taste was substandard. Rest of activities like Arabian dance was really good. Ride time was also satisfactory.
