There were a few dinner cruises to choose from and our first choice (the candlelight one) was booked. We wanted something romantic and were not looking for a buffet. This dinner cruise exceeded all expectations and I can't imagine how the candlelight one could have been better. All the tables are next to a window so everyone has a great seat. There is a rooftop deck you can go to for a special photo of the Parliament building. The dinner was delicious, and we loved the local wine as well. And the music and dancing gives a taste of Hungarian tradition while being classy and unobtrusive. The cruise is the perfect duration too; I think some of the other cruises would be a bit too long.

The food was good but there's a lot, so go hungry. The biggest mistake I made was forgetting to bring cash to leave a tip for the musicians and staff. I just didn't think to since I'd prepaid for the meal but felt horrible that I didn't have something for them considering how great it was.

Overall it was good but meal was overpriced - it's quality was poor. Especially meat was really dry and chewy. Music was not my style but performance was good and I really appreciate it, so it is a plus from me. One of the instruments was unique. Dance show was great, could be longer if you ask me :) Toilet was in poor shape, but I guess, you can blame the participants. Views were great. Many highlights of Budapest could be seen end enjoyied during dinner. Boat ride was wuprisingly smooth. It was winter but the inside of deck was warm and cozy.
