This is the third dinner cruise I have been on and this time, I was host to 7 other guests. The cruise started exactly on time at 7:30 PM and returned to dock at exactly 9:30 PM. The buffet display was good but food preparation was just so-so. The beef strips in gravy were so tough and fatty as to be inedible. The fresh prawns (previously frozen) were also tough and without taste. The welcoming fruit beverage drink was so little as to be an insult. And this is probably the least expensive offering, so why be cheap about it? After dinner coffee was not offered, but was available on request and a second cup again had to be requested. There are more minor complaints and one may say that they are picayune, but when there are so many, they affect the overall impression. You never tire of viewing the Chao Phraya skyline at night, but, putting that aside, the cruise was boring, boring and boring. There was zero attempt by any crew or cast member to get guests involved. So, about 60 passengers just sat there and listened (without enthusiasm) to a singer who was unable to accommodate the requests she received. We were about 60 passengers and were confined to the upper deck, as a private party took over the lower (and air conditioned) deck. I enjoyed my evening, but it was not because of anything that the River Star Princess did. I hope the cruise management takes these criticisms as constructive and acts upon them in a positive manner. But, I won't be back to find out.
