The show in itself with the beautiful and colourful costumes and music is a must see. The food was sublime and the service very pricey and efficient. We were very lucky to be seated at the very front so could appreciate the beauty more! The staff are highly skilled and very professional. On the downside although we paid extra to have transport back to the hotel, we did not find it when we managed to get out, even though we were assured we would find it waiting. That was disappointing as it was specifically why we chose the particular option when booking.

I loved the cruise trip. The route is good as well as the food and atmosphere. The meeting place is not a popular place. The sign is clear,we did not have problem to find it. However, it made us confused without seeing any cruise ship when we arrived at the meeting point. It could be better if add the cruise ship arriving time in the sign.
