Food was great. Views...
Food was great. Views were beautiful and the staff were great, especially the young man that took pictures for me and my friend all night lol.

Wonderful
The crew was wonderful and helpful. The yacht was beautiful and comfortable. Drinks and dinner were available and excellent. Unfortunately, it was very hot. I hope air conditioning and misting systems can be added to the yacht's deck to help cool things down.

Nice but with a poor start
The cruise its self was nice. Food was wonderful and great that it includes drink. But before all that it has the worst waiting area. No proper seats. Just tiny stools which are only ok for kids. While waiting you are hassled by people trying to sell you fragrance or have henna applied to you. Dont worry about getting dressed up nicely either.most prople didnt bother.

Dubai Marina Dinner Cruise with Live Music & Open Bar: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Dubai Marina Dinner Cruise with Live Music & Open Bar cost?
+
Prices start at $44 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dubai Marina Dinner Cruise with Live Music & Open Bar take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubai is not rushed.
Is Dubai Marina Dinner Cruise with Live Music & Open Bar worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 3,235 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Dubai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dubai Marina Dinner Cruise with Live Music & Open Bar?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dubai Marina Dinner Cruise with Live Music & Open Bar suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dubai Marina Dinner Cruise with Live Music & Open Bar?
+
Around 1,132 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubai and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dubai Marina Dinner Cruise with Live Music & Open Bar start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dubai?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5* BBQ at Al Khayma Camp, Dubai: Red Dunes Safari, Quad, Camel, Dune Bash, BBQ & Shows, Dubai Evening Desert Safari Dune Bashing, BBQ Dinner & Live Shows. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dubai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dubai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Dubai Marina Dinner Cruise with Live Music & Open Bar?
+

Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Please note that we are unable to accommodate special dietary requests. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
