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.
