5.0 / 5.0
Unfortunately, our boat required unexpected repair, but the company, prior to our arrival, managed to put us on a different boat of equal if not better quality. We set sail on the Sonesta Moon Goddess, which was fabulous.
Nothing that comes to the main
4.5 / 5.0
Lovely clean ship with helpful staff
food was good but breakfast could be improved with more fresh fruit.
non-alcoholic drink selection needs to be improved
3.0 / 5.0
The staff are wonderful, everyone is super friendly and tries hard to help. The restaurant crew in particular are attentive and efficient. The service runs like a well-oiled machine. Dining was a mixed bag, the buffet lunches, featuring Egyptian style food were delicious and excellent. In contrast the dinners were disappointing, featuring a multi course “European” style menu which was adequate but not brilliant. Excursions were good and Hamid the tour guide is extremely knowledgeable and experienced.
The ship is tired and dated, by no means a luxury cruise. Unfortunately not enough time is spent cruising the Nile and too much time (every night and a few days) moored alongside, generally 3 ships deep in Luxor, Edfu and Aswan. This means one has to traverse the other vessels to get to the Alexander. Given the temperatures in Egypt all ships’ Aircon etc are powered on 24x7 and there are generators running everywhere. Air quality while moored up is terrible and it doesn’t really improve much when under way as the vessels seem to run extremely smoky heavy fuel oil. I believe there are around 200 ships plying the river between Luxor and Aswan, which has many sugar plantations many of which seem to be continuously burning off the sugar cane stubble etc. The air pollution was quite depressing.
4.5 / 5.0
Great food and very kind and flexible crew. The guide was excellent and very knowledgeable.
Information on the itinerary of the cruise program was sparse but all that was promised was kept and the guided tours were very good.
4.0 / 5.0
Best thing is the hospitality of all the staffs.
Specifically we would like to thank Mr. Adel (Restaurant manager) for his special & personalized care. He and the Chef ( sorry forgot the name) made us some very tasty vegetarian food on board.
Our guide Dr. Hameed was a caring person and learned man, who explained archeological significance of the sights in a simplified way.
Average:
Room interiors and comfort was average which is acceptable being an old boat. This boat needs better furnishing.
Worst ( Better'update in website as well)
Wiki is not available in room. Even in common areas is was very poor.
4.0 / 5.0
Kindness of ALL staff & crew members.
Great peace on board, as the downriver 3 nights cruise Aswan to Luxor is nearly never full.
The roomy comfortable suites. The restaurant's & bar very kind service.
The all-in private programs, full service & expert comprehensive tours of Aswan, Kom Ombo, Edfu, Luxor west and east bank with Dr Hamed, our guide.
The no hassle "One Time" envelope tipping at check out, to be shared with all staff & crew.
Good wifi in lobby & lounge.
The unavoidable wake-up call at 5:30 AM to visit the temple of Edfu, as for the boat to hurry to the Esna lock and get early in the lock queue.
Somewhat limited breakfast, lunch or dinner menus as the very limited nr of passengers did not really allow full deployment of the kitchen's capability & menus' variety.
4.5 / 5.0
The tour operator was fabulous and the general staff helpfulness was excellent. Meals were generally delicious with lots of food
Two major irritations are the toilet facilities which do not allow flushing of toilet paper and the Wi-Fi which was poor with low signal
4.5 / 5.0
Private Balcony that we booked is awesome, we could see the lock at Esna very well and had amazing experience crossing the canal
the dinner served too late for us, it’s 8pm or 830pm which could have provide choices for people who usually have earlier dinner; the menu choices more towards meat,more seafood option would make the dining experience more pleasant
4.5 / 5.0
Loved personal nature of staff interaction. They got to know our habits and likes quickly.
Problems with inconsistency of toilet flushing and very spotty internet. Also credit card payment difficulty when settling finances at the end of the trip.
4.0 / 5.0
The food was excellent. The staff who served the food were outstanding. The overall dinning experience was wonderful. The front desk and the room service was great. The egyptologist was knowledgable and very helpful.
They have no formal payment system except their preference for cash. The boat is dated and is not a 5-star one. No internet to speak of and they wanted to charge me even though in the Booking.com had it free. The only place available is in the Bar room and is turned on upon request.
4.5 / 5.0
The outdoor space was wonderful as was the lounge and bar area. Staff were all excellent. Our guide, Hamed, was excellent and took really good care of us.
Dinners needed improvement and the location of where the ship docked in Luxor was awful. We had to walk through other ships to get to ours and we were not close to anything to walk to.
5.0 / 5.0
great cabins, great food and lovely helpful staff
Wi-Fi could be better
5.0 / 5.0
This is a review for the management company more than the boat itself. They were highly honorable. We only found out upon arrival in Luxor the day prior to the cruise in March 2021 that there were not enough people booked to sail on the Alexander the Great, and we were going to be upgraded to the Sonesta Sun Goddess. We had booked two balcony suites on the Alexander and we were not at all disappointed by the substitution. The sun goddess is all suites with balconies and newly renovated. They communicated via text and arranged for a private guide and driver to pick us up at our hotel and take us on the promised tours in Luxor in the morning to avoid the heat and crowds... then took us to a cafe to pay for the cruise with the representative from the Alexander the Great. That was a little disconcerting, but we went with the flow and the amount charged o our cards was exactly what was listed on the booking.com reservation. The private guide stayed with us on the boat the entire time and arranged for all tours and transfers and went above and beyond to make us happy. Never did we feel unsafe or taken advantage of. We were very pleased and would definitely use this company again. Thanks Mr. Hammad for making our trip to Egypt wonderful despite the curse of covid! Travel to Egypt now! Best time to visit because the crowds are soooo low. Really good value for your money. I was in Egypt last 15 years ago and the crowds were much bigger than they are now and the Egyptian people will be so happy you are visiting.
4.6 / 5.0

5.0 / 5.0
Exceeded all expectations We were well looked after, delicious food, extremely spacious clean rooms with immaculate bathrooms. The staff are attentive, caring and a joy to be around.
The tours included a guide and when we got to Luxor included entry into 3 tombs at the Valley of the Kings, Karnak and Luxor Temple. Fabulous.
Highly recommend
We could not fault anything.
