Advertised open "24 hour" hot tub and pools were not always open at night. On our 12-day cruise it was closed about 5 nights we went by.

Service and Staff

Dining room staff and stateroom staff were excellent. They always tried to go above and beyond.

Alexandria (Cairo), Egypt

Tour the pyramids but that is about it. Don't eat the food or water. Police escorts everywhere! Nile river is DIRTY!! Trash everywhere in the canals and even a dead horse.
