We had a wonderful experience. We went up to the upper deck of the boat while the belly dancer and the women were performing. Aside from that, everything was wonderful. The sunset and the Nile offered a breathtaking view.

The start time was accurate the staff seated us at allocated tables. Drinks mildly expensive but nice and cold. Buffet was good especially the salad bar. Entertainment started with a warm up from like a animation type team they were ok. When later the singers and belly dancer came on they were great but I think my favourite was the spinning man he had the audience in the palm of his hands with his talent and his own personality shone through when engaging the audience...10 out of 10 for me 🎉☺️🎉

Enjoyed every bit of the cruise. The onboarding, the food, the entertainment, and the views were all worth every cent I spent. It would be great to let someone choose their preferred deck, though. Also I felt there is a need for a disclaimer about the age bracket for admission to the cruise, especially due to the belly dancers part of the entertainment

Gull highly recommended it—everything went very smoothly from the moment we arrived. The food was delicious, with a selection of appetizers including salads, soup, and bread. There was also a variety of main courses; I had fish and meat, which were both delicious, and there was a good selection of desserts as well. The show was excellent—even my wife danced. Thank you very much for the great service we received.
