Book on Viator - better by far
We booked through Marriott Bonvoy - avoid. Viator is a far better experience. Communication from the operator was very unclear. It was not obvious that the cruise departed an hour out of Cairo when many other cruise are available right in the centre. We were initially told that the pick up was 2 hours from the hotel which would have meant waiting around for some time! We needed to cancel as our daughter was unwell and could not make the long journey but there was no flexibility offered not even an alternative date.

1* Dinner Cruise on the Nile
The windows of the ship were so dirty that you couldn't see outside.
For selecting the 5* option, I was expecting better - much better.
The belly dancer was a dancer with a belly.
I definitely overpaid with $60 for the same you get for $25 or $11 without the pcikup/drop-off.
The food - its a salad buffet everything else is what I would call a "ration", a meager one at that, there is very limited options, not the delicious egyptian food as advertised.
They overcharge for drinks, a 10 egyptian pound bottle of water is sold for 100 egyptian pounds,
The singer was terrible.
The staff were terrible, manager was shouting at staff and customers.
The furniture was crowded and what I would call cheap.
They take your photos without permission, then turn up 10 minutes later demanding $4 for the photo - mostly with multiple photos - luckily for me I actively avoided the camera as I know this game, but the unaware Europeans sitting near to me were quite distraught and succumbed to the pressure.
I wanted to tell them to refuse and watch them negotiate, as they have already printed it they will basically give it to you at the end.
- in a positive note the pictures were printed innbery high quality (better than others I've seen).
I chose the 5pm start time, expecting 20(average) - 60(maximum) minutes travel time, noting that most hotels will be within 30 minutes or less distance . Event didnt start until 7pm .. noting that after I met the driver and he had moved let's say 5 minutes from the pickup point, the tour operator called him and asked to speak to me, he told me that the cruise doesn't start until 8pm - only after rejecting this completely (as I had a flight to catch) did he arrange the 7pm - even though I booked the 5pm, expecting a nice sunset cruise, and paying the premium price for it.
** Why offer timings that you cant provide **
** honestly, if I was told +2/+3 hours before I got in the car, I would not have gone - and im sure they expected that **
Save yourself and go straight to one of the international branded hotels to arrange your dinner cruise.

A pleasant dinner in Cairo
The cruise ship was large, spacious and well maintained. The staff were polite and hospitable. The driver was friendly and prompt. I quite enjoyed the singer and the traditional performers.
The ship serves a modest selection of alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages which are not included in price.
There is also a photographer who takes your picture with the entertainers for a small fee.

Value Trip.
We had an amazing time at the Andrea cruise. The weather, food, activities were very interesting but id like to add it was because we felt comfortable with Ahmed our driver who gave us the right advice and made arrangements for us. There was enough vegetarian and non vegetarian variety at dinner for us. The entertainers were friendly and got the crowd involved.
