Food and entertainment was excellent.

The staff on the boat really made an effort to make sure we were well entertained, and they did well. The unfortunate thing was the food. Although there was a varied buffet selection, the food was served very cold, and I got a really bad stomach bug which floored me completely the following day. The river is lovely at night and some nice pictures were taken. I would say the drinks were reasonably priced.

Enjoyed the evening but it could have been improved if it were an hour longer as the food felt rushed. Also the wine was very expensive, about 40 a bottle.

If you don't like noise maybe rethink. They turn the music up so loud you cannot have a conversation. If the music and silliness had been at a normal level, this would have been a lovely evening. The food and scenery was great.

Cruise was lovely. There was plenty of food that looked so delicious but over all the buffet dinner lacked flavour. Staff were very friendly. We arrived very early for this cruise, could have been picked up later.

I thought the cruise was great, but didn't like the buffet dinner. I thought it would be served at the table, and we also had to buy our own drinks at expensive prices on the cruise. I would have liked to know these things beforehand.

It was great to see all the temples all lit up at night, but the entertainment is a little corny. Food was OK.

The food was not that great. Also, prepare for very loud singing of old American and other hits. If you stay in one of the hotels on the river, they each have a free boat ride, which was quiet and no bad food is served; not to mention it's free.

This was a bit of a waste of time, actually. I felt very rushed, almost one of the crowd. The buffet was excellent, but drinks cost extra. For a once off experience it was just okay.

We were picked up two hours before the cruise and had to sit in a very small 10-seat van doing a run around Bangkok to pick up four other couples. On top of that, the air-conditioner didn't work. The pickup was not good at all. The cruise was good, although the food was average.

Well this was an experience but not what we'd hoped for. If you are looking for neon-0flashing wrist bands and cold tasteless food on a cattle drive, then go for it. Oh did I mention the neon flashing wrist band, neck band bug lights they put on the table. We ate what we could and left the main deck hungry to find the bow, at least we enjoyed the view of the city lights. A very hyped-up affair that was the disappointment of our trip.

It rained. They moved our table 3 times. There was a buffet dinner that was a free for all. Slow drink service. Also there was an annoying film crew filming a commercial in front of our table the whole time with a GLARING bright white light right in our face the whole time. I did not enjoy wasting my money.
