Good Cruise - Would have been nicer if we could have taken pictures with the entertainers after the show. Food was okay. Liquor was expensive. More explanation should have been given on time of dinner, time of entertainment, where exactly were we cruising to.

Great Nile Cruise - My family and I attended this cruise. The ship was really nice and the atmosphere was perfect. They also had great entertainment. The only need for improvement is the food. We selected the buffet, but a salad bar was the only real choice. The rest of the meal was pre-selected. The driver was on time to pick us up, the transportation was great. I felt bad for the poor tour guide. He is made to stay on the cruise the entire time, I guess in case we need anything. That might be a bit much, just felt bad for him. But I definitely recommend and would go again.

great dervish dancer - We book night Nile cruise with hotel concierge and i would recommend you to do so even though we pay a little extra. But we got a private car and a driver to get us there and pick us up on the end of the cruise. The dinner was OK, nothing special, drinks are not included. The belly dancer was ok but whirling dervish was amazing. How he can whirling and not get dizzy? It up to you to discover it.

Watch out for extra $$$ on wine order - We ordered a bottle of a wine with dinner. The price was about 30$ usd. The
“Manager” Substituted a bowler. It $300 usd without asking or Telling us. When the bill came we complained and he did nothing. The belly dancer was verity good. The food was good. But this left a very bad taste in y mouth. I wish I had that
“Manage’s” name - he should e fired.

Nile dinner cruise .. never again !! - Food is cold and cheap. Reminds me of bad buffets in Vegas . Music not too bad . Traffic from our hotel like LA traffic on a lot of steroids. Would not recommend . Would rather go to mc donalds. Not handicapped accessible at all .

Left a Great Deal to be Desired - This entire experience left a great deal to be desired. From beginning to end, it was poor. Farid, our tour guide,
met me and my friend at the hotel on time. The interaction began with casual conversation and pleasantries, but quickly ended when we told him we were not interested in another tour his company provided. The dinner cruise itself was mediocre. The performances did not seem authentic and left a lot to be desired; the drinks were overpriced. Additionally, all of the food was served before the actual cruise left the dock. Once the cruise ended, our tour guide took us back to our hotel in silence. I recommend if you are going to go on a dinner cruise to find one yourself and provide your own transportation through Uber, taxi, etc. Booking through an agency is not necessary especially one of this poor quality.

Beware - Was charged $350 for dinner and cruise. Suppose to include good but pay for drinks yourself.
Arrived to a boat billowing in cigarette smoke, told appetizers and salad were extra.
The smoke was so bad had to leave before boat left the dock since wife is an asthmatic.
No mention of smoking or if only partial food payment in Viator write up.
If had known would not have booked, especially at that price.
Have asked for a refund.
