Bon bateau, cabine confortable avec fenêtre qui s’ouvre sur le Nil, personnel très gentil et professionnel, deck et piscine propres et bien entretenus

La nourriture variée mais assez fade et neutre

Sehr freundlicher Service.

7.0

Das Personal war immer und überall sehr freundlich. Das Essen war sehr schmackhaft und gut.

Das Schiff ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen ( Renovierung von Grund auf nötig). Die Luft auf dem Nil ist fast immer vom Dieselgeruch der Schiffe überlagert. Der Rasen aus Plastik auf den Sonnendecks geht gar nicht.

La crociera è bella e rilassante e sicuramente la consiglierei. La nave ha delle camere molto pulite e confortevoli, il cibo è di buona qualità e varietà. I ragazzi che rifanno le camere sono simpaticissimi e bravissimi con le decorazioni

Praticamente zero comunicazioni ore partenza, nonostante i nostri messaggi. Il costo delle escursioni (350 dollari) è altissimo e non c'è possibilità di farne solo alcuni; noi abbiamo optato per organizzazione privata e abbiamo speso meno di un terzo. Non ci sono grandi servizi a parte il bar e una piccola piscina.

Bonita forma de visitar el Nilo

7.0

La habitación muy cómoda, el personal simpático y atento y la comida muy buena

Wifi inexistente (dijeron que era débil pero ni siquiera funcionaba) Falta de comunicación (nunca nos avisaron donde teníamos que embarcar y luego no había un plan de cada día, teníamos que preguntar los horarios cada vez para comidas, visitas, etc.)
