We chose the cruise as QM2 is the last ship of its type, also going through the Suez Canal.
We ticked both of those boxes and that is the best we can say about the cruise. It was infact the worst cruise we have ever been on.
Due to norovirus on ship we were refused entry to 2 ports and not allowed into Jordons waters. We have experienced this before but not on such a large scale, hundreds ...
Prospect of interesting Ports of Call were our reason to book this cruise. Embarkation in Dubai was very efficient and we enjoyed a fantastic sail away from the city.
