The quality of the cruise boat can badly affect your holiday, as you do spend a lot time on it.


General Comments

We booked a last minute cruise through Cruise Control. I was led to believe we were on the 5* boat, but when we arrived they had put us on the 4* Nile Treasure. This boat is small and quite tatty. The cabins are tiny and falling apart, although the boat is said to have been refurbished.
The food is self service, with long queues, and if you don't get there on time the food is gone. The menu is basically the same every night, just minor differences to make it look different. The coffee is Nescafe sachets and a jug of hot water.
If you don't go on the excursion and rise late, there is no breakfast.
I would not book with Cruise control, or go on this holiday again, as it is very poor in my opinion.

    My family went on the Nile Treasure in August, it was my first time abroad and my first cruise. We loved it and had no complaints what so ever, and in fact I emailed Cruise control to say what a wonderful time we had, and they printed it in their magazine "View from the bridge".
    The food was excellent and there was plenty of it, and so what that you had to queue up, no one minded and there was enough that everyone could have had 3 plates of every course.
    We had a wonderful guide, excursions galore, the staff were so friendly and we did not want to leave. We made numerous friends who we intend to keep in touch with, and we would go back tomorrow if we had the money.
    What an experience to savour; a unbeliveable holiday, and I only wish I was there now.
