This is a super hard cruise both because of the extreme heat and the difficult walking terrain. In abu simbel the golf carts took people down but then were out of service on the way up people had medical conditions who could not be brought up. People with sever walking issues were forced to walk up people were in tears! I think better descriptions are needed to rate the severity of the tours and the Egyptian gvt needs to do something about infrastructure by tourist areas

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
2 out of 5
The meats were ( lamb chops, filet mignon) were inedible. The dining room was understaffed and unorganized
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Pool was lovely, however the umbrellas and fans were never opened until you searched out an employee for assistance. Usually no one manning the bar so you could not get a glass of water unless you left pool deck again to search for an employee - when it’s 100 plus degrees this is troubling.
Entertainment
2 out of 5
There is a piano in the lounge no employee ever played it. The games the hotel manager played with the guests passing an empty water bottle btw your legs to fellow passenger was embarrassing
Service and Staff

The hotel manager ( rafiki?) made no attempt to interact with guests, he was strange, sneaking up behind guest, never at his desk usually in the library on his phone.

Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
It was fine, after the first day when they finally fixed the AC. However the balcony is totally unusable no shade covering, overlooks area where the crew hang out, pray and spit overboard no appealing at all
Ship tip
Do not pay for balcony rooms they are useless as you are normally docked 2-5 ships deep
