"Travel Matters" excursions are often just glorified shopping trips. Especially frustrating was going to a "oil/scent" shop for 2 hours

The itinerary was great -- we saw a lot and covered a lot of ground. There were a few days where we got back to the ship or hotel kind of early. I think some people probably wanted some down time to rest, but I would have liked to have had the option of going on a brief excursion or trip to see something else during that time.

I'm glad I chose the 9 day wonders instead of the 12 day splendors as the only big difference is 1 half day in aswan and 2 days sailing back down the Nile. It was compact and busy. I do think,however, that Abu simbel should be included that way no special plans need to be arranged for those who stay behind and miss possibly the best site of the trip. I also think the tipping gets out of hand with the tour directors, the bus drivers and the boat crew. Also, suppers the last 3 nights in cairo are not included and then we are told to eat in the hotel for safety...well that's a cash cow. If we are advised to stay in the hotel then give us vouchers or something but it was a ripoff. Amd watch out for the ATM at the Marriott...it doesn't give you much time to get your money once the little door opens...be quick.

The itinerary was great. The only disappointment was that we were separated from the Splendors group before we left for Cairo. We got less time with friends we had made, even though we all went to Abu Simbel - just at different times.
