Nile Done Right - This was a lovely introduction to the Nile. Rooms were very well appointed and the staff was incredibly friendly and kind. Swimming on the upper deck with the Nile rolling by was magic. Food was great (so much food!). Entertainment every night was fun. We did upgrade our room when we arrived at a discount. So that might have influenced my feelings a bit. But I truly felt this was something special.

4 nights of bliss on the Sonesta St. george - The boat was amazing, our room was big and clean and just pure luxury. On arrival we found a basket of fruit and wine in our room. The food on the boat was fantastic, something for everyone's taste, From steak, pasta, fish, chicken and the desserts were incredible. We took so many photos and the views from the boat were amazing. Shout out to Mina, the assistant manager of the bar, he looked after us so well, Afternoon tea on the top deck was a real treat with incredible views. The swimming pool was just right and there was a seated area that was covered in to help you escape the sun. There was entertainment every night in the bar/lounge, big comfortable armchairs. I bought an alabya to really feel part of Egyptian night. The boat was moored right on front of Edfu temple which is lit up at night and was an incredible backdrop to photos. I highly recommend taking a trip on this boat.

Great tour guide - Just returned from a cruise ,Aswan to Luxor 3 nights. Pros -The staff were attentive,going out of their way,over and above their duty to make you feel welcome.Every need catered to.Free water bottles replenished every day in the cabin. The food was good,many options to pick from,especially the buffet. The highlight was the guide,Hany Refaat was possibly the best guide I have ever seen.Knowledgable,and very passionate about the history,architecture of ancient Egypt.He has a gift for storytelling and makes ancient Egypt come alive magically.He is very accurate with his facts and gave our 4 days a very special touch.We traveled with young adult children and even they had the highest praise for Hany.There are so many monuments and so much information is needed to know what you’re looking at..Do yourself a favour and request him. Cons-The ship is a bit dated ,but clean.Dinner could be earlier considering the early mornings to start the tours.

Unexpected and Great - This is an unexpectedly pleasant experience. I was not caring about doing a Nile cruise much less which boat to take. I was talked into this one. And the boat does matter! This is a high end boat like an ocean liner. A beautiful roof top sun deck to really enjoy the environment. On board the the rooms are nice with sizable bathrooms. There is a spa for massages. The dining room is elegant and the food has been very good. My only criticism is that a majority of the food has been western cuisine vs. egyptian. They make several stops to see the temples on your journey. I am really impressed and will recommend to my friends and family.

Disappointing Nile Cruise through Century Travel - I booked a 9 day Nile holiday through Century Travel in Cyprus because it was recommended. The flight timings were excellent and the recommended boat seemed very good. After booking our flights were changed with a 7 hr stopover in Cairo and about 8 days before departing the boat was changed. The Sonesta St George Hotel is supposedly 5-star but we found the rooms to be very dated indeed and the food was very poor. On boarding the Sonesta St George cruise boat the surroundings were lavish and staff attentive. The cabin however was dated and bathroom dirty - see pictures below. The public areas were lovely but it was a back to back cruise, that is Luxor to Aswan and then back to Luxor. The standard definitely dropped on the return leg e.g. dirty cutlery the last night. The most disappointing thing was the reaction by Century Travel. They could not accept that the holiday package was not up to standard - in fact they blamed everything on the in-country agent. I shall not be booking through Century Travel again and do not recommend this holiday at all.

Not as Grand as I was Expecting - This is supposedly one of the best cruise ships on the Nile according to our guide. Whilst this is a nice ship, I'm surprised that this is rated as the best ship. The rooms are a nice size as are the bathrooms, but the bath/shower is very cumbersome to operate and in need of replacement. The water pressure is poor as is the drainage. The internet on board is terrible with a lot of people complaining. You can't get it in your bedroom and even in reception the connectivity is patchy. Lunch and evening meals are good, but the breakfast is disappointing and they never change the offerings for the entire cruise. They are slightly disorganised and I was surprised and disappointed to be charged for my own drinks I had put in the fridge in the cabin. I left those drinks behind when challenged even though they didn't stock that brand on the boat. The have a lovely upper deck and it's a delight to sit there as you slowly sail down the Nile.

Nothing Special, scams all around - Not sure why the there are 2 separate threads for this boat on TA December 2022 Cruse experience... Summary: Like 1* or 2* Sonesta motels in USA, anything but upscale, forget luxury First the good... The staff at the kitchen/dining are VERY helpful and kind, service is attentive. Food quality depends on your own benchmark and expectations. We stayed at Mena House for 3 nights and ate there. Food quality at St. George is nothing really compared to Mena house. But over-all it is certainly not bad. The rooms are just ok, nothing special (we stayed in top deck, view from there is better than that from lower floors). Other services are reasonable. The bad... They mention that tap water is for shower only. You need to brush using bottled water. Similarly, you need to drink bottled water. What is included? One 16oz (or could be 14oz) water/person/day. Want extra? That will be 50 EGP for a bottle, which is a pure rip-off. Captain's cocktail? Watery margarita for free. Bad quality drinks. Coffee at breakfast is cheap, flavorless, and pathetic. Room cleaning and laundry just ok, eager to charge but return laundry half dry. The evening entertainment programs are below-average at best. The ugly... The worst part of the cruse is the so called Egyptologists or the tour guides provided by Sonesta. Ours was one named Medhat Nasri, short on guiding, made no particular effort to avoid crowds, always with stretched arm for tips, collected commission from every shopping from every customer. Overall, a very avoidable soul. Then there was an unscrupulous photographer from some street corner who came in the dining room of the boat, took pictures of you without permission, got it printed the next day and demanded money. The cruse managers (named Mr. Sameer) turned a blind eye. The wifi is pathetic. Very very slow and yes, they have a 1GB data cap. But it is so slow that the data cap did not matter. Hard to believe it was the year 2022. My two cents... If money is not an issue, consider ONLY Oberoy or Sanctuary cruises. Avoid all others, and most definitely avoid Sonesta, which is a scam. If money is an issue, do a private LXR-ASW (or the vice versa) road trip with a private guide. It will be much cheaper, and most importantly, you will really enjoy Egypt.
