Party Queen of the Ocean

  Mumbai maiden cruise is  a luxurious cruise alert located 500 metres before bandra-worli sea link toll reclamation bandra west.They dont operate in monsoon time.Its recently re-opened for public from mid october 2018 and shall be operational till may end 2019.Since its in middle of arabian sea.A speed boat takes you to the cruise .Its an amazing looking cruise.I would say its one of a kind concept floating restaurant in Mumbai.Just the right place to celebrate special occassions with your friends and family .Its only cruise that sails under Bandra worli sea link. According to me the best time to visit Mumbai maiden is  around sunset .Sitting at rooftop of cruise with breathtaking bandra worli sea link view and really good food,drinks & service..At night the fully lit sealink view is mesmerizing.Just the perfect way to spend your special day and have a memorable experience.Its always advisable to make a reservation here and visit .Staff service is polite,courteous and simply superb .A special mention for Mr Roshan and Rohan who ensured i had a great time at cruise.They have rooftop (accomodate abt 250 pax),banquet at level 1 (accomodate 200 pax) and a small private deck on ground level (accomodate abt 70 pax) .Apt for private party,corporate party,conference or sangeet/mehendi functions.I hope it soon comes up on prestigious list of Mumbai tourism/places worth must visit in Mumbai list soon.This cruise is that damn good. Coming to variety of dishes i tried here  Nothindian,continental and italian cuisine  is mainly served  here.  Chef Sandy executive chef of Mumbai maiden has done a great job.LPG is not allowed on cruise as per safety rules .Cooking good quality food and tasty food without using Lpg gas is a tough challenge.I must say Chef Sandy has excelled in this task. Drinks (mocktails) Freshly curated drinks were served to me  by Mr Chandan bar tendor of Mumbai maiden . Pomegrante martini -Refreshing drink to sip with arabian sea view .Conitreau,squeezed lime,orange blossom water,crushed ice,pomegranate seeds used in preparation of this chilled drink Starters  Creamy vegetable bao - A nice indo-chinese style preparation.This tastes delicious.Bao was soft,Extremely creamy and had rich stuffing and well garnished. Hickory bbq paneer pizza -This was their signature pizza preparation for me.Simply in love with this pizza.A normal crust pizza bread with creamy cottage cheese pieces neatly marinated in tandoor style paste,mozarella cheese,masala powder and dry basil leaves toppings.A must try dish at Mumbai Maiden for me  Pickled fruit sushi -Veg version of Japanese style sushi preparation with a twist.Japan has delicious pickled foods known as tsukemono.Different kind of food pickled in salt,miso paste,soy sauce and in this case used in sushi stuffing with pomegranate seed topping.Plating of this dish is also simply superb Veg main course  Green thai curry with steam rice -A nicely prepared medium spicy curry .In veg version no fish sauce is added to this curry.It had a nice olive green colour to it.Galangjal,kaffir lime leaves,green chillies,coconut milk,veggies like carrot directly added to curry.It tasted  decent and satisying to have it with steam rice. Dessert  Belgium chocolate mousse -A creamy,melt in mouth dessert.Shaved pieces of chocolate added on top for texture and generates added enhanced taste Blueberry cheese cake -Another fabulous dessert choice at Mumbai maiden.Softened cream cheese,can blueberry ,cool whip used in its preparation. Overall i had a mesmerizing experience at Mumbai Maiden.This cruise is not just only about food.Visit here is an amazing experience by itself.Right from speed boat which takes you to main cruise,a warm welcome by their staff and them escorting you to seat at rooftop,breathtaking bandra-worli sea link view,arabian sea view and topped with some fantastic food,music and drinks ,superb staff service just made my evening special Highly recommended place for a date ,birthday/anniversary with your special onesWorth visiting.

  The basic fee is 1200inr for week days and 1600 for weekends and the cover up fees is 1000 per person in that(that means u can eat anything upto 1000 inr for free by paying basic fee). The food here is very costly and comes in very less quantity. Be prepared for huge bill if u wanna have dinner here. The view is amazing, we can see bandra worli sea link, taj hotel etc etc.

  Wonderful view of Bandra Worli Sea Link. Food is average. But again having food in the middle of the sea has its own taste!

  Floating in the Arabian Sea is a paradise Cruise which compliments the Beauty of Sea Link in a mesmerizing way ..... Mumbai Maiden is the ultimate dream place in town to celebrate an occasion with your loved ones . A Spectacular View & some great food & drinks to go along .... Can't ask for a better Eve then this ............ They have come up with two kind of packages one which offers a la carte with cover charge and other is the fixed menu food package . We opted for the fixed menu food package & here are the highlights of what all we savoured . Creamy Vegetable Bao : Best appetizer to start a dream eve on the uppermost deck of Mumbai Maiden Paneer Chilli : Schewan version of paneer Chilli. Paneer super soft nicely touched up with the spices Stuffed Mushrooms : The stuffing within the mushrooms was super luscious and goes very well with mocktails Paneer Makhani : Soft paneer cubes dipped in scrumptious buttery gravy . The gravy had an immaculate mix of spices and blended well with home style chapati Rotis. Dal Tadka & Rice : Dal tadka reminded us of the traditional homestyle dal fry. Rice papad and Dal called for perfect conclusion to the mains . Dessert : Chocolate Mousse was the best one amongst the lot which was served . In mocktails we tried the different versions of Mojito . The orange and the classic ones were the best and must to have out here . Overall a super se bhi Upar experience and will definitely turn up here again soon with our gang of friends and family to celebrate an occasion . Thank You for reading my detailed Review .

  In-depth review in Marathi ही तरंगती हॉटेलं मुंबईच्या किनाऱ्याला येवून तसा आता बराच काळ लोटला आहे.. पण अजूनही आपल्यातल्या बऱ्याच लोकांनी याचा अनुभव घेतलेला नाही.. परवा माझ्या वाढदिवसाच्या पूर्वसंध्येला तिथे जाण्याचा योग जुळून आला.. वरळी सी लिंक कडे वांद्र्याच्या दिशेने येताना टोल नाक्याच्या जस्ट आधी एक डावी कडचं वळण आहे.. इथूनच खाली गेल्यावर काही अंतरावर सूनसान अशा ठिकाणी, आपण नक्कीच कुठे आलोय असा विचार करत असताना अचानक परिसर उजळून निघतो.. आपल्या समोर अंथरलेल रेड कार्पेट दिसतं आणि समुद्रात दोन क्रुझ शिप सुद्धा दिसू लागतात.. अशा वेळी समजावं की आपण योग्य ठिकाणी आलो आहोत! तिथे दोन वेगवेगळ्या कंपन्यांचे दोन फ्लोटेल आहेत.. एक आहे अे बी सीलेस्टल नावाचं आणि दुसरं आहे मुंबई मेडन.. यांच्यात महत्वाचा फरक हा आहे की एे बी सिलेस्टल हे इंजिन नसलेलं जहाज असून ते पर्मनंट स्वरूपात किनाऱ्याला लागून नांगरून ठेवलेलं आहे.. हे तिथेच असतं कायमचं.. आणि याच्या अपर डेक ला फक्त एकाच बाजूने समुद्राचा व्ह्यू आहे.. दुसऱ्या बाजूने किनारा दिसतो.. याच्या उलट आहे मुंबई मेडन, ज्याच्यावर आम्ही गेलेलो.. हे जहाज पाण्याच्या आता, मधोमध नांगरून ठेवलेलं आहे.. याच्या चारी बाजूला पाणी आहे.. एकीकडे सी लिंक तर दुसरीकडे मुंबईची स्कायलाईन.. मुंबई मेडन चं तिकीट आहे 2500 पर व्यक्ती.. जास्त वाटत असलं तरी यात गंमत ही आहे की यातील 2000 रुपये तुम्हाला जहाजावर थेट वापरायला मिळतात.. मेन्यू तसा लिमिटेड आहे.. अल्कोहोलचा पर्याय सुद्धा जहाजावर उपलब्ध आहे.. हे 2000 तुम्ही 2 प्रकारे खर्च करू शकता.. 1. अनलिमिटेड स्वरूपात : यात त्यांच्या ऑप्शन पैकी तीन स्टार्टर तुम्ही अनलिमिटेड मागवू शकता.. एक मेन कोर्स आणि एक स्वीट डिश असं पॅकेज मिळतं.. एक मॉकटेल सुद्धा यात सामील आहे.. पण अल्कोहोल नाही.. त्यासाठी जो खर्च येईल तो तुम्हाला स्वतंत्रपणे पे करावा लागेल.. 2. दुसरा ऑप्शन आहे 2000 रुपये नॉर्मली खर्च करणे.. म्हणजे तुम्ही काहीही मागवा (अल्कोहोल सुद्धा) त्याचं जे बिल होईल त्यातून 2000 वजा होतील आणि त्याहून अधिक झाले असतील तर वरचे तुम्ही भरा.. आपल्या गरजांनुसार आपण बेस्ट ऑप्शन निवडू शकतो.. जेवणाचे म्हणालं तर जेवणाची चव तशी यथा तथाच आहे.. आम्ही मागवल्या पैकी चिकन नाचोज हा प्रकार मस्त होता.. तर मालवणी चिकन फ्राय हा सगळ्यात बेसिक.. पण जेवण हा इथे जाण्याचा मूळ मुद्दा नाहीच आहे.. मूळ मुद्दा आहे समुद्रात बोटीच्या अपर डेक वर घालवलेला वेळ.. (आणि अपर डेकच बर का.. एक लोअर डेक चं पण तिकीट आहे 1400 चं.. पण ते काही उपयोगाचं नाही!) त्यांनी शिपवर जाण्यासाठी तीन टाईम स्लॉट बनवले आहेत.. तसं छोट्या बोटी पूर्णवेळ उपलब्ध आहेत पण 2500 मध्ये 3 तासाहून जास्त आपण बसू शकत नाही म्हणून हे टाईम स्लॉट.. यातील 5 ते 8 चा सगळ्यात उत्तम टाईम स्लॉट आहे.. यात छान संध्याकाळ अनुभवायला मिळते.. सूर्यास्त पहायला मिळतो आणि रात्रीची थोडी झलक ही.. फोनवर आधीच बुकिंग करून गेल्यास उत्तम कारण वीकेंडला, खासकरून शनिवारी प्रचंड गर्दी असते.. डिजे असल्यामुळे पार्टी पहाटे पर्यंत चालू शकते.. नॉर्मल दिवसांमध्ये ही शिप एकाच ठिकाणी उभी असते पण या 16 ला ही मुंबई नाजिक 1:45 मी च्या प्रवासाला निघणार आहे.. याचं तिकीट आहे 800 रुपये ज्यात तुम्हाला फक्त पाणी मिळतं.. बाकी खाण्यापिण्याचे नॉर्मल बिल.. असा प्रवास महिन्यातून एखाद वेळेसच ही बोट करते त्यामुळे जाण्याचा प्लान करत असाल तर फोन करून 16 तारखेच तिकीट आजच बुक करा..

  It's good when you want to have nice cruise experience , ambiance is good , worth coming once for view of Bandra sea link , food is ok . Fantastic experience .

  An Amazing and Unique experience. All the services offered are upto the mark. I would recommend this place to each and every person out there in Mumbai, out of the rush and fast life this place gives you the best possible peace. To add the beautiful experience are the courteous staff right from the Land to the small ferry till the big ship we were guided properly and with utmost care. Food was something different and must try. Not the regular tadka and masala food but amazing Continental food which is very rare and amazing. Waiters take utmost care and make sure we enjoy the food by giving us timely attention. BEST PLACE TO BE ! A MUST MUST VISIT !

  Check out this newly opened Floating Restaurant- Mumbai Maiden in Bandra. It's one of the cost place to spend time with your loved one on ocean .. Having blast with music , food & total entertainment. Visitors love to see 360 degree view from the edge of ocean seal ( maiden ) and romantic view of Sea link will melt Ur heart and take you deep in ocean with your partner

  I pass by the Bandra-Worli Sea Link every single day in the evening back from work and always gaze at those beautiful attractive lights which one can see from the surrounding Arabian Sea. Those lights come from these amazing cruise parked at the shores. Of the two which are currently operative, Mumbai Maiden Cruise is one of the only international standard ship which is actually a cruise with an engine / motor of its own and is anchored in between waters. The other is right adjacent to land. You need a small boat to get to this amazing cruise which could take approx. 3 to 4 minutes. Finally we could make a plan and got an opportunity to go to this amazing place.  Mumbai Maiden Cruise recently re-opened for its guests on 19th October and will be operative till last week of May 2019 before the monsoon sets in Mumbai. The cruise comprises of 3 levels - Level 1 from where you enter has the welcome lounge. The private restaurant is in closed environment just like any other restaurant and can accommodate approx. 70 to 75 guests. Level 2 has a banquet hall, which can be again used for holding parties or even conferences. The banquet size is larger as compared to the private restaurant and can host approx. 175 to 200 guests. Level 3 is the roof top which offers breath taking views of the Arabian Sea as well as skyline of Mumbai. Talking about what all we tried at Mumbai Maiden Cruise - We were served welcome drinks - Blue Lagoon which was blue curacao fizzed with aerated drinks. We then began with Starters and first tried the Pickled Fruit Sushi and Hickory BBQ Paneer Pizza. Personal favorite and definitely highly recommended would be the Hickory BBQ Paneer Pizza, crust is normal base and approx. 10''. Paneer topping along with mozzarella cheese tasted superb. Pickled Fruit Sushi a nice mix of rice and fruits topped with pomegranate served along with marshmallows. They served us chopsticks as well to have the sushi. People who like sushi may like the twist given here. Next we tried the Creamy Vegetable Bao and Mushroom Vol Au Vents. Both were good in their own way. Being a mushroom lover i liked the Vol au Vent cases topped with creamy mushrooms, sprinkled with some salad. This tastes delicious. Bao was soft. Extremely creamy and had rich stuffing and well garnished. Moving to the main course, we tried both the options which were available - Green Thai Curry with Steamed Rice and Cottage Cheese Patty with Sauted Vegetables and Tomato Cream Sauce! Out of the two, my vote would go for the Green Thai Curry, superbly prepared. Would definitely recommend this to those who prefer coconut or can manage coconut in their meal. For others, who don't like Coconut may go for the Cottage Cheese Patty a Grilled dish. Mumbai Maiden Cruise had earlier received feedback in terms of no Indian food available in the menu, hence they introduced few dishes which could be managed on the cruise, again compliments for that. One can order Dal Tadka and Veg Kadhai along with Steamed Rice to complete a satiated meal.  Finally for desserts we tried the Belgium Chocolate Mousse and Blueberry Cheesecake. The desserts are outsourced and not made in house. I personally loved the Belgium Chocolate Mousse more. Creamy, not too sweet. A decent way to end our meal. Besides these 2 desserts there also is an option of Chocolate Cheesecake. I do strongly believe that this cruise should feature amongst the top few things to be done in Mumbai, because this offers an experience like never before. And Mumbaikars need to try this soon, definitely try and do this in the evening and during winter season which is setting in nicely. Prices are also reasonable where different level seating may cost differently but would recommend all to experience rooftop. Also please note during weekends they have Club Nights where entry fees are INR 500 but you get 1 drink free for every 1 drink you buy. A must visit place for people celebrating special occasions such as anniversary, birthdays, get together, cocktail parties, etc.

  Lovely experience with my wife on her birthday. Only reason for giving 4 star is because the time we left the place it was around 11'o clock. There is no means of transportation from the exit. I tried booking ola as well as uber but there was no cabs available for this area. We had to walk almost 2 kms before we could find a rickshaw. It was wonderful experience on cruise but the end ruined things. If you go with your own vehicle things should be fine This is better than the one parked on shores as this is surrounded by water on all sides.
