What we really like is the great views along the Nile all along the trip. Some staff are really friendly and helpful but some aren't so we give it a 3 star for staff services.

Empfehlenswert

Das war meine zweite Nilkreuzfahrt mit einem Steigenberger-Schiff, Gesamteindruck deutlich besser als auf der Steigenberger Legacy; Unterbringung sehr gut - ich lege stets Wert auf Zimmer mit französischem Balkon, wo sich die Panorama-Schiebefenster oeffnen lassen; Service überall freundlich und hilfsbereit, aber nicht aufdringlich; Essen vom Buffet stets abwechslungsreich und qualitativ hochwertig; Abzug gibt es für die sehr beengten Verhältnisse im Speisesaal, das Herumstehen viel zu vieler Mitarbeiter am Buffet und den teilweise (Sonnendeck) nicht vorhandenen wifi-Zugang; das alles liesse sich leicht beheben; trotz dieser kleinen Mängel wuerde ich die Minerva gerade dem deutschsprachigen Publikum empfehlen
