River Cruises - Egypt/Africa Cruise Reviews

If it were not for the excellent company of my girlfriends this would have turned into a nightmare. We thought that ghis was an excellent wat to celebrate us all turning 40 this year, but what a disappointment. Poor food and soft drinks included in price and drinks available for sale expensive and poor quality. The beverage packages are sly way to make you think you are saving whilst half the time the deals offered are not available. Manynof the staff members were surly and rude. To top it all off one our friends had irregularities with her cruise card being used to make purchases by someone else for large amounts of money . I have been on a few other cruises with other companies before which I found enjoyable. I can never recommend MSC to anyone.

From the moment we stepped on board the MSC Sinfonia we felt special.  We had a wonderful week but we must say that Valentines Day was extra special as we had our wedding on the ship.  It was so romantic and the cake was divine.  An Officer even escorted me to the wedding venue and that made me feel very special.  Later that night when we returned our cabin was beautiful decorated and a sign on the door read "Do not disturb - Just Married" That definitely put a smile on our faces. We will always cherish this cruise and plan to cruise again soon.

Thank you for an awesome unforgettable romantic experience.

The M/S Mayfair was part of the Viking Pathway of the Pharaohs tour.  It has excellent service.  It's a well run, clean, newer ship that serves good food.   Dining room staff and stateroom staff were terrific.   My only negative is the gift shop.  The operator - Nebil  is very personable but his prices are higher than what you can get in the markets and on other ships (e.g. the gift shop on the Omar El Khayam was much better).   In one case a shirt he showed me was twice the market price.

This is not a vacation...so much to do everyday, but what a great experience. To be face to face with historical things that are 5000 years old. I would recommend to everyone who is fairly mobile.

this cruise is the best great atmosphere and great crew

MSC knows how to host good parties. The shows are exceptional, the days on sea are full of exciting activities. Service can be improved. Guest Services staff are not always knowledgeable.
