The evening was very well organised, the ship arrived on time, and was clean and the loos were ok. The ladies loo on one side didn't have a toilet seat. Food and drinks were reasonably priced. The fireworks and drone show were amazing, although they went on a bit too long as we were out in the harbour and there was nowhere to be able to warm up. Wrap up really well if doing this cruise. We had paid for our ticket and had confirmation but our names were not on the list this was a bit concerning but as I had downloaded the confirmation they let us on board, this happened to another couple as well all in all a great experience 👍 we had fun

Fantastic way to watch the fireworks in Valletta, beautiful sunset cruise into the Grand Harbour, would recommend

We stayed at the Gomerino hotel and watched from the roof bar and pool area. Technically you don't need to be a guest as no key is needed to get up there.

We loved it was so unique and great spot to see the fireworks. We had option of food and drinks onboard. Bring a jacket it gets cold.

Exceptional fireworks by duration and technology. Warning, point 2 of meeting is wrong (the restaurant no longer exists under this name and the street number is incorrect), we were on the port very early but finally at the meeting point in the last because of this error, so not very well placed.

Fantastic Display could do without it continually not being broken and gaps between setting them off, Boat set off before Fireworks finished meaning the view was interupted

Very nice event with 3+ hours of firework shows. There will be more events during the summer, but i am not sure if they will be similar to what we saw during the closing of the festival on the 3rd of May. If you are planning a visit to Malta, it is definitely worth looking out for any such firework show.

Good trip but the pieces of wood on the floor was dangerous, one of my party fell over them and hurt herself, staff was good and did help her but all in all a good trip.

Hornblower put us in a great position for the fireworks in the grand harbour. It was late starting and really slow start, but once it got going the display was stunning and drones were brilliant

The night was magical in the company of fireworks and comforted by great food and a wide variety of drinks.
