Good Points

Good choice of food if you don't have a bit of everything at each meal time, then it becomes a bit samey. Nice cabins on the 2nd and 3rd floors, but we were on the bottom and rep. moved us up without us asking. Fun organised nights.


Bad Points

Not enough time at temples. Trip to Abu Simbel takes 3.5 hours and leaves at 4am to return at 1pm for lunch. You get 2 hours there. Bottom floor cabins smell of diesel but you are moved up. Sun deck also smells of diesel because you are moored against other boats. No drinks as part of fully inclusive on last day so really you only get 6 days not 7 although you are fed. Needs some different music - prehaps take your own cds


General Comments

Pleasant boat, well prepared food and friendly staff. No tipping as you go but have to pay £4 per person per day on the last day. Excellent, well organised excursions by knowledgble guides and an Orbital Representative who is on your side and not the company's or the boat's. We went fully inclusive and the beer is ok but the wine is terrible.
