almost everybody on this cruise makes you feel you are aking.your smallest desire is his wish Blu accommodated me by bringing me my choice of entree from Silhouette. When we wanted to try the main dining room, we were given a table and made to feel completely welcome.

The entertainment was first class. I have never seen singers and dancers that were so versatile and worked as hard as these people did (but, they didn't show it). The glass blowing show was so interesting and well done. I would have liked to own a custom piece made right there, but they only sell 3 pieces per cruise.

All of the business of "getting on and getting off" the ship was handled smoothly. No going to a room and waiting, we walked off when we were ready each time. Even the tendering process was smooth was easy to find lounges by the pool although I never went in. My husband went swimming but my daughter and I kept busy with bingo, watching glass blowing, dance lessons, playing board games, boccie ball and ping pong. Oh yes we loved the exercise classes and did the boot camp, pilates and spinning classes. It helped ward off the extra calories. The crew were friendly and went out of their way to say hello. The cruise director was funny and the assistant activities director, Ian was a comedian himself. Our waiters were friendly, warm and did anything possible to make our vacation the best. They anticipated our needs before we did. The assistant cabin steward was a sweetheart always saying hello and smiling. He left chocolate for us nightly and he became one of our best friends. We love chocolate. in egypt some of our friends recommended an egyptologist tour guide his name is moustafa omran he is doing his masters &we really enjoyed our trip with him.his e-mail is:moustafatours@yahoo.com. we will never forget this tour so we decided to sail again this year.
