I had a wonderful time on the cruise. The day was perfect. The boat crew was fantastic as well as the driver. The food was good and plentiful. The pick up and drop off went extremely smooth and even the dolphins put on a good performance! Thanks for a great experience traveling from Dubai to Khasab.
