1. Review By Vishnu
“Good ship to gamble and try your luck on. Classy! And the service is top-notch. I was served by a service staff named Zendon. Highly professional and excellent response to every F&B service required. Nice place!”
2. Review By Vaibhav S
“Super place for gaming and playing poker, service was very good, a special mention for Zendon who was in the F and B department, he was very courteous and prompt in attending our orders. Overall a good place to be there.”
3. Review By Trushit
“I had to give 1 star as there is no option of 0 stars. This place is so Overcrowded, is having 0 management, and has rude staff. The restaurant staff is not even bothered whether you will get to sit for dinner or not. The 3500 Rs menu is pathetic. I would recommend that you should spend your valuable money & time somewhere else at some better place in Goa. Additionally, if you have a kid, then They do not have any option for the kid & parents but just to stay either in the kids’ room or in the restaurant. Complete waste of money.”
4. Review By Dharun Arasu
“It was one of the many cruises I’ve been on, but this one was good. Honestly, I didn’t have many expectations, but it was good. I took the VIP package as per the website, which included IMFL drinks. The food did have many varieties, but the taste was normal and didn’t taste authentic. Casino was a good experience.”
5. Review By Dhruv P
“Very poor experience. We went with high expectations and were disappointed. They have charged rs. 3500 per person, and we couldn’t even get a table to sit at. People were forced to have food and drink by standing. Just like a large gathering or marriage function. Food quality was average.”
