Good Points

Excellent guide.


Bad Points

The most disappointing part of the cruise was the food. The quality of the basic ingredients was below average as was the preparation. A few dishes were very good but these were few and far between. They served beef almost every night and it was not tender. The food on the buffet was not as hot has it should have been.


General Comments

We cruises the Nile on the MS Terramar from Oct. 29th to Oct 5th 2008. We had a great time thanks to our excellent guide. The weather was perfect, not to hot and not to cool. Mornings were cool but it warmed up quickly. By mid day the temperatures were in the mid 80's F.
The cabins were large with a sitting area with an LCD TV, a mini bar, table and chairs, and a couch which was not very comfortable. Adjacent to this was bedroom with a king size bed very firm but comfortable. Other than sleeping we spent very little time in the room. A typical day was touring temples in the morning and sitting on the top deck in the afternoon enjoying the cruise on the Nile.

They served beef almost every night and it was not tender. The food on the buffet was not has hop has it should have been.
Other areas of where problems came up included prohibiting us from taking glasses from our cabin to the top deck, only having instant coffee at diner and then charging for it, their process of keeping track of your purchases on board was not as efficient as it could have been in that sometimes you were ask to sign for purchases that took place the day before or longer. There were some commutation problems in that the staff's knowledge of English was limited to key words. This however was a minor annoyance.
Overall the quality of the ship in my opinion was not five stars.
