The cruise is listed as 5 star - which it is far from. Shower & Hand towels were old and grey and stained, the floors & shower not often cleaned, and the shower so small it was hard to manoeuvre - or bend down to clean your feet if over 6ft tall. The food was plentiful but average. The service from most of the crew was very friendly - they were lovely people. This cruise might not always use the same boat - but the Wifi on the Coral 2 did not work - but they will not refund. The tour guides were generally good - informative - but keen to get in and out of places quickly. Take plenty of 50 and

Only 2 days of cruise when I was expecting for more. Surprise to have to wake up before 0400 to go to Abu Simbel. WIFI on boat is very weak. Most of the guide were good , especially the one at Edfou temple. The guide at Philae Temple ( last day) was pretty bad.

Most importantly, the 5-star ship is a huge muck - even if you go by Egyptian standards, this rating would be remotely justified. It was the first time the ship (estimated) pierced the lake about 1980; and has not undergone any modernization since. The guides changed at every activity and everything was there from quite okay to bad. Otherwise, the schedule of activities was okay for us; you often get up early, but that was fine.
