River Tosca Review
Aspects of the cruise need improvement, but Egyptian sites are unbeatable

Additional details
Positive: The crew is outstanding: skilled, caring and very good at their jobs.
The guide for the "Splendors of Egypt and the Nile" cruise, Mohammed Atilla Abdullah was knowledgeable and personable and gave us a great sense of the country and its history. He spent a great deal more time on the meaning of the hieroglyphic symbols and not as much on the architecture and function of the temple buildings as we would have liked, but he was very knowledgeable.
The size of the cabin was great. However, the shower could have been larger and safer; we would have happily given up the tub to have had a larger shower.
Cabin Review
Suite
The cabins are huge by any standards. The furniture is dated, but the bathroom has been updated. Unfortunately, it's the smallest shower ever and really not very safe. But the space in the room (and closet space) can't be beat.
