Currently finishing our Egypt river cruise. Amazing sites seen however the MS Farah is NOT an Avalon boat and not up to the level of their river cruise boats. An added excursion on our last night, a dinner cruise on the Nile. $100/person... NOT worth it. The river boat was old, dirty and nasty. Food was terrible, we only were able to pay for 1 drink, they never asked if we wanted more. There was no outside space to enjoy the view & beautiful weather other than a smoking area. They started to place new urensils while we were still sitting with our drink glasses, for the next cruise at 9pm... and never cleaned the area we just ate at.. which leads me to believe we were sat at an unsanitary table when we were seated for our dinner time. This was the end our cruise with a horrible experience really left all 11 of us who went with a very bad last impression of Avalon. Don't pay for the dinner cruise at the end if you're going! It's disgusting & can think that Avalon is OK with this level of service for their guests. And know that you'll get lectured for hours at each site vs being able to explore on your own by the tour guide. Bring plenty of money to tip and if you need a 3rd bottle of water after being in the 104 degree Sahara desert you'll need to pay for it. Just know that your ship is not on an acutual Avalon owned boat!
