Panaji Mandovi River dinner cruise with hotel transfer, Goan buffet, DJ, magic show, dance night, plus 2 beers and whiskey.

“Princess Cruise is meant for family and good for those with the old or kids. This compared to the others like Coral or Nirvana (cruises). Dont expect much with the food. Tequila 3 shots are only served at the bar It was tough to down them in 1 go with you being crushed by burly people (if you arr short/petit). If you arr celebrating a birthday or anniversary, you can order a cake for INR750 with the coordinator who is your primary contact for the cruise. Don't forget to ask for the box because you may not be able to finish it. Just remember about transport, it is not easy…”
