Do I need to print my ticket?

No — a mobile ticket on your phone is accepted at Pier 7. A screenshot works fine if you're concerned about connectivity.

Where exactly do I meet the boat?

The departure point is Pier 7 at Dubai Marina Mall in Dubai Marina. Arrive a few minutes before your chosen slot to allow time for boarding.

Are children allowed, and do they need a ticket?

Yes, children are welcome. Under-3s are free of charge but must stay in the saloon or cabin area with an adult. Children under 10 are required to wear life jackets for the duration of the cruise. Every booking for a child must include at least one adult.
