Review the Goa Triple Deck Family Dinner Cruise, with buffet dining, Bollywood music, folk dance, river views, drinks, and practical tips.
“The whole experience from beginning to end was very ordinary. The driver called up and informed that he will pick us up at 7.20 pm, whereas the bus arrived at about 8.00 pm. We waited for about 40 minutes for the bus to arrive. Reaching there, we were asked to go back and get coupons from the entrance. The lower deck with AC was very noisy with loud music. We preferred to move to upper deck which was relatively peaceful. But, since food was served there everyone moved to that area after a while. Food was very ordinary, nothing even closure to what you look forward to having in Goa.…”
