Good Points

Great way to see some of the sites of Egypt. Beautiful when actually sailing. Informative Egyptologists. Good rep.


Bad Points

Not enough sailing. Repetitive food. Poor entertainment. Noisy and smelly when docked (which is a lot of the time). Sunbeds uncomfortable


General Comments

Just returned from a week's cruising onboard the Lady Mary and overall I would say it was an average to good experience. Considering that the cruise ship is only 4 years old I thought that it looked quite tired. Carpets had stains on them (both in the cabins and public areas), the paintwork in the bar was chipped. The cabins were a good size but also tired looking. I would agree with the other reviewer and say that this is not a 5* by English standards, definitely more like a 3*.
Very exhausting trip but great way to see the sites. Do try to do the optional extra to Abu Simbel (early start 02.30hrs) and the balloon ride, although wear warm clothing for this and shoes that can be cleaned easily as you may land in muddy fields!
Be prepared to be very hassled when off the boat by sellers wanting you to buy their wares. Just either try to ignore them and walk on or keep saying 'no thank you'.
Would I go back to the MS Lady Mary - no. Would I say to others to avoid it - no, but don't expect 5* luxury and you will be ok.
