Cabin: Inside Occasion: Annual/regular holiday
Had an easy transfer from the Club Majic Life in Sharm then went on Red Sea Magic returning 2 February. The weather was not good, very cold winds and dust storms. However, the crew and the entertainment staff worked their socks off to find alternative things to do inside the ship. There were also blankets if you required them out on deck smoking or otherwise. Our trip to Dead Sea was cancelled due to cold weather the destinations guy hung on until the last minute to see if the weather improved as the people who went the week before were unhappy with the cold weather. The entertainment team performed the best show I have seen on board a ship when they did "The Musicals It was awesome. The visiting comedian was also good. The food was very good in the Meridian Restaurant and the waitor Frank would always obtain the meat with another meals veg for me. Nothing was too much trouble. An altogether really enjoyable cruise despite the weather. We also met some nice people and had a thoroughly good time.
Quality of Food5
Breakfast and lunch in Lido Dinner in Meridian
Entertainment5
Comedian good and entertainers version of songs from the musicals was awesome best show seen on a cruiseship. The staff show was, as always, excellent

Hi, I'll be taking this Red Sea Cruise on 15th March, so am hopeful that the weather will be a little better by then. I would like to enquire about the excursions, 10 hours seems a long time, what is included? I'm particularly interested in Petra, The Dead Sea and The Pyramids. I'd like to spend the rest of the time on the ship.
