Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Booked the New Year Eve Dinner & Fireworks for my family on the Roof Top of Royal Princess Cruise. The dinner was obviously understaffed. It takes forever to get our plan water refilled and even harder to get a glass of soft drinks or order a glass of beer.
Very poor crowd management. Guests from the cheaper lower deck all crowd to the roof top deck after they have had their dinner. If I had known that the roof deck was free for all, i would have purchased the cheaper lower deck tickets.
We had to ask many times for the glass of sparkling wine which is part of the package. I saw the waiter serving the sparkling wine to the "standing" guests (these are the guests from lower deck that had crowded the top in anticipation of the fireworks) but not to us. It was until my husb almost lost his temper that they got us our sparkling wine.
Fireworks was not that great. We stopped some distance away from Asiatique and quite far from Icon Siam. The best fireworks seems to be those at Icon Siam but we could not see them from where we are. I had expected them to stop the boat at the best spot, that is the only reason we purchase these tickets.
In conclusion, we would not go for this cruise again.

We enjoyed the cruise ride, dinner, fireworks, music, hospitality. Our ship was Alangka Cruise. As expected the whole ICONSIAM was packed with people, especially when we returned to pier around 12.45 AM. It took us almost an hour to get into the building of ICONSIAM from the pier. Crowd management is not very good. My wife's Ninewest shoes were torn in the crowd. It was 1.45 midnight. For the first time I got to know Sevel Eleven sells rubber sandals. What a relief! But, the nightmare started after that. It took us more than one hour to find a tuktuk and I had to make him understand and convince him that I would pay him 500 Bhat if he takes us to Nana. There were still thousands of people on the road looking for taxi, grab, tuktuk, something or anything they can get. There should be some arrangements if such big parties are arranged. It was an mixed bag experience from all aspect.

So I booked two tickets for the New Year’s Eve celebration December 2019 which was efficient enough, the price was 4800 baht each and after payment I was sent a voucher stating payment in full and very brief instructions where to board the cruise ship. The instructions were as follows ‘icon Sian pier boarding start at 1700 to 1900 departures 1930’
We arrived at the icon Sian shopping mall after battling through terrible traffic only to find complete carnage, the mall was totally packed. The mall itself was holding a New Years party and a concert which made finding the actual office of the cruise company almost impossible. After searching for an hour, we finally found the tiny office hidden away down a small alley way at the back of the mall and we were given boarding passes and given hopeless instructions where to find the ship. The loading area can only be described as the busiest place I’ve ever been, it was totally unorganised and evening was already starting to be ruined.
The food onboard was terrible. (My girlfriend and I got food poisoning)
The alcoholic drinks were watered down and disgusting.
The singers were doing their best to get the passengers to enjoy themselves but nobody was dancing.
The view of the fireworks was poor and blocked by buildings and bridges.
I would not recommend to use this company to celebrate new year or in fact use this company at all.

We found the cruise to be quite useful for sightseeing as it connects Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Arun, Flower Market, Chinatown, Asiatique etc.

Nice option if you are travelling with your family. Good live music, food and service. This is approx 3 hours service includes food, live music and soft beverages. Hard drinks you can buy at the additional cost as that is not part of your package.

Can't really say the guides are unintelligible so you just have to really guess what they are saying. The river cruise during the day is best. You can also just get a ticket on the normal passenger ferry at a fraction of the price..but no guide..no loss anyway as they have very poor English.

Thank you in advance

Hi there, I booked my tour through Viator. I am coming on your night time tuk tuk tour on 5th September. I will be travelling by myself and from the Grand Palace area. What is the best way to get to the meeting spot and are your guides in an obvious location? I was thinking of taking a water taxi and then its just one stop on the train... Also how much time do you think it will take to get from Wat Pho/Wat Arun/Grand Palace area to the meeting point? I dont want to miss the trip as i am so looking forward to it!! It will be my first night in Thailand!
Thanks Deborah
