    Good Points: Bar area and sundeck.


    Bad Points: 5 Star - no way!
    The food was repetitive, i.e. what was on show at lunchtime was there again for the evening and same at breakfast.
    Rooms cleaned with same cloth for bathroom and sleeping area and the cleaner also appeared to be wiping out the drinking glasses with the same cloth, this was seen by several people who were ill and spent 3 days in their cabin.


    General comments: We were on the cruise for one week from 4th June 2008. Where sailing was supposed to take place during the day this did not happen, sailing was during the night, the noise and vibration from the engines kept us awake. Why bother to cruise during the night you could not see anything.

    Trying to cram in too many trips on one day, morning and afternoon.

    We have been on a Nile cruise before and found it really relaxing, we found this one a complete disaster.

    We had to constantly find someone to serve drinks on deck.

    One day we did not go out to one of the temples and decided to stay onboard and use the plunge pool, when we went upstairs they had emptied the pool for cleaning (surely this should be done prior to people arriving for their cruise), however this also put me off as you could see the condition of the pool was with cracked tiles and badly eroded handrails. Allegedly this ship was supposed to have just been refurbished, cabin decor where the wardrobes etc were painted white all the brass fittings etc had been partly painted over.

    I could go on and on..

    Cruise on the El Fostate was absolutely first class but I would recommend going all inclusive as we ended up with a £300 sterling bar bill, but thats for a week so I suppose not too bad.
    The whole ship is spotlessly clean, The cabins have everything in them and are cleaned at least twice a day, the staff cannot do enough for you.
    We did have a small incident with one of the German tour guides but it soon blew over, we only had twenty English on the ship and the rest were nearly all Germa ...
