Review summary

Interior of ship : colours not restful. menu variety poor. Entertainment consentrated on the Italian and German passengers. Service was excellent. The last two cruises we booked with you was with Celebrity Cruises and they were excellent, I would have no hesitation reccomending them. Costa, I'm not so shure.

Ports of call

Alexandria (Cairo), Egypt

Booked the excursion to Cairo. Pyramids very impressive. Cairo and the nile filthy. Guide rushed us through the sights but again had plenty of time to spend in the store that he got commission.

We booked a taxi for 120 euro for 4 hours. Taxi driver brought us around all the sights and told us about them. We had plenty of time to spend at these sights and really enjoyed this stop.

Booked an excursion with the ship. But felt with all the booked trips that the guide did not give us long at the sites but lots of time at the store that he was getting commission.
