Very exciting. Cool shows. I liked it. The ship is big and beautiful. I just think the food could be better. When we bought it, the description said that the buffet was international, but it isn't. 90% of the food is typical Egyptian food, so there aren't many options for those who don't like Egyptian food. For the price we paid, they could improve this. The meat was all fat.

The experience was exactly as described. The staff followed up to make sure we were prepar d and if we had any questions. We opted to pay the extra for a private car pick up and drop off. Food was good. Entertainment was outstanding and the ambiance was great. Thank you for a great experience FTS. We would highly recommend this excursion.

Honestly, it's a must-do no matter what. However I had taken with the option a bottle of water, a cold drink and a hot drink but I was not entitled although I had paid the formula above. I had to call my interlocutor and I only got the bottle without paying extra. Apart from that, the evening was pleasant even if I regret that the dinner started before leaving and that the people on starter course dessert at the same time. It would be better to offer 3 courses to avoid people rushing around for nothing, as the quantities are quite sufficient for everyone. I'd still recommend it, as the starter alone is magnificent.
