Be under no illusions, the Karim Palace is not a luxury cruise liner, if you are looking for that then the Karim Palace is not for you. Also if you do book the all inclusive package, make sure you know EXACTLY what All Inclusive means before you travel. T... read more

We've just arrived back from a 7 nights Nile Cruise. Originally we were supposed to go on Karim (broken down), but luckily we have been transfered to Pricess Amira.
We had full board (drinks not included) and the food was very very good! The boat wa... read more

I had not read any reviews before I went, but the Karim Palace is cheap and dirty!

I am well travelled and have been on another (good) Nile Cruise so I can compare subjectively.

Rooms were dusty and not cleaned. Instead the staff... read more

Previous to our Nile Cruise I read some of the remarks made by previous passengers. A group of 8 very young OAP went on this holiday and yes we did have tummy trouble and some needed a doctor. However, we were experiencing temperatures averaging 45 deg... read more

The nile cruise was amazing, But be aware the criuse ship the Karim palace and juliana palace the sister ship are not 4star as stated. Our cabin was small but functional you don't spend time in cabin, I took cleaning wipes with me and had to clean our ca... read more

The best holiday we have had! Yes the boat wasn't as grand as some of the others, but it least it had character, unlike the other boats which resembled floating boxes.

It is certainly not a luxury boat, but what really made the holiday was th... read more

We had a 2 week break in Egypt this March. The first week was spent on the Karim Palace, while I am in total agreement that this boat is certainly not a palace, we had the most fantastic holiday we have ever had.
Yes, the boat needs a refurb, yes t... read more

we had a terrible experience when we arrived at the boat, we were booked on the Juliana, but was told these were sister ships, and exactly the same. There was 6 people in our party, my husband and I had a Nile cruise last year and we loved it so much we a... read more

When we arrived at the Karim I was dissapointed. But after some good food and a laugh with some of the crew I felt much better. Don't expect lavish accomodation and 5* decor, It's basic but it has the essentials. The crew and waiters are all very friendly... read more

My wife and I have just returned from a splendid week on the MS Karim Palace. Having read other travellers reviews we were a little apprehensive before we arrived. It is true that there were a few problems on arrival but these were sorted our swiftly an... read more

A floating shed!

Right where do I start..... The ship we stayed on was called the Karim Palace and there is no way on this earth it is a palace more like a floating shed!! Both myself and the guy I took with me, who I was supporting ended up ... read more

This was a far worse holiday that I have ever been on in my entire life. The people on board were rude and unhelpful and would not have anything to do with you unless you gave them money.The cabins were not fit to board a dog.The lounge and everywere else... read more

I have rated 1. purely because there isn't a zero. Our first impressions of Karim Palace was total shock. This ship is rated as 4* and in our opinion it wouldn't qualify for 2*.
We went to look at our cabin and found it to be drab, dirty and dusty, ... read more

We returned from Karim Palace this morning and our advice is if you are booked on it - cancel or ask for a transfer, the score of 2 is for the staff, the excursions and the other guests without whom we would of 'jumped ship'.

The cabins are ... read more
