Good Points

The boat was very clean and the staff were very polite. The rooms were always clean and tidy and the housekeepers did a wonderful job and left a surprise on your bed everyday (I wont spoil it for, wait and see). The Egyptian night was a good laugh where we all dressed up and had an Egyptian buffet. Our tour guide was fantastic and she took us around the sights and also explained all about them, she was a right laugh and made our holiday.


Bad Points

The food on the boat was a sit down meal where your food was brought to you on a plate. Most nights the menu did not match what we were supposed to have (when you can work the menu out that is lol). It would of been much better with a buffet style as you can pick and choose what you wanted to have. If you are a fussy eater I would recommend finding a boat with buffet style because the food was limited. There was no snacks on the boat either so if you didn't like the food then you would go without. We had three adults in a cabin and that was small but for two people it would of been fine. The boat has no upgrades for the cabins so we couldn't get a bigger cabin if we wanted to.


General Comments

Overall the boat trip on the Mini Travel Sherry Boat was brilliant. The excursions were early in the morning so no lay ins if you intend to do excursions. The staff never let me lift a finger and we never touched our suitcases from checking in at Gatwick to picking them up at Gatwick. Be prepared to take lots of £1 for tipping off the boat as they are asked for everywhere you go. Also the boat asks you to settle your drinks bill at the end of your trip so take a note of how much your spending as it can creep up to a high amount if your not careful. A thoroughly enjoyable trip and a lovely boat.
