Booked with Holidayjet
Booked with Holidayjet, 1 week Nile cruise and 1 week Hurghada hotel. This review is in regard to the Nile cruise element, the 2nd week in Hurgharda at the Titanic Palace was great.
We were due to join the Al Nabilitan (5 star deluxe) on the Nile, however when we received our tickets 2 days before departure they had changed the boat to Princess Du Nil. Inquiring about the change they said the boat had a broken down lift and also a fire, so we were joining the new boat stated. When we arrived on the Nile the Princess Du Nil was nowhere to be found and we were shown to a 3rd boat the Al Sultan Hassan. Initial thoughts were this is not our boat its a dump and not the 5 star we had paid for and expected. We discussed with our rep who stated this is what he had us down to join (there were other couples having the same issues and thoughts). We showed him our booking tickets and he called Eagle tours who organise the logistics locally, they were not interested and that is what you've got. Needless to say we were at a loss. So, what we initially saw of the boat was very disappointing, but we thought lets have a look on the boats website, lovely bedrooms, library, sauna, jacuzzi, gift shop, how misled we were.
We were shown to our room, well what can I say, it didn't look remotely like their website pictures, frayed dirty carpets, safes didn't work, tv didn't work, sink in bathroom didn't work, bathroom dirty with black mould and ancient amenities, 2 single beds bearing in mind we asked for a double (our 40th wedding anniversary 😍😍). No sauna, no jacuzzi, no library, no gift shop, they have obviously used another boat for their website. The food in the restaurant was dire, on the second day most came down with curse of the Pharaohs. No escape for a week, we docked next to our original boat Al Nabilitan twice and inquired of the crew about the broken lift and fire, they said the boat was fine and had no issues (someone telling fibs). When we boarded the boat we completed checkin stating we would pay our alchohol bill with a credit card, however, on the final night when we went to pay they demanded cash only we don't have a card machine. Needless to say we didn't have that much cash (there were others with the same problem), as you will guess the discussion got slightly out of hand as nobody had that much cash. We all thought we might get arrested, not because we didn't want to pay but because we couldn't. After the rep said to the management nobody is going to pay unless you produce a card machine, it took a couple of hours but eventually a credit card reader miraculously appeared.
To wrap it up, the following morning we joined the coach for the 5 hour trip back to Hurghada, the driver fell asleep twice and nearly left the mountainous road, when we stopped at the halfway point I spoke with the coach rep from Eagle tours who was not interested in the least.
My warning here is, be very wary of Holidayjet which is a subsidiary of Galaxy Holidays. We didn't get what we paid for and expected, they delayed in sending out our tickets which left us no time to do anything about the changes (one couple recieved their tickets with only 24 hrs notice) and a great many untruths were told, the reps at Eagle tours locally are not interested in any issues, the management on Al Sultan Hussan were very evasive and unhelpful. You have been warned.
I contacted Holidayjet on my return, they have not responded.

well booked for a luxury nile cruise and hotel stay the hotel was very nice and no issues but when we arrived for the luxury nile cruise we were not put on the boat we had paid for nor did we get the room we paid for instead we got a boat that even the locals said was slum there about 40 of us all in the same boat all
complaining and the company couldn’t not be bothered to discuss this at first but after 5 days of a 7 day cruise the offered a new boat great but we couldn’t be bothered to move so turned this offer down apparently the problem was not them but their suppliers doesn’t matter who was to blame as a customer they have failed me as tourist

Went to to so called hotel
Went to to so called hotel, was put up in the building next in a room which smelt and was horrible couldn't stay there very depressing place, found a lovely place on booking. Com
I was worried about my booking until I spoke with Phil who was AMAZING!
Having booked a holiday to Budapest in April for travel in December 2025, I was a little concerned that all the travel documents hadn't been received and on trying to book our seats online, I didn't have a booking number or email reference to log into Ryanair to do so. After speaking to Phil, he eliminated all my worries and was extremely helpful, giving me all the relevant documents I needed and was very prompt with his responses. I cannot thank Phil enough as I was beginning to get a little worried about the whole booking. I wish I had dealt with Phil right from the very start, he is a credit to the company and I would recommend anyone contacting this company, to ask for Phil as his service was first class! THANK YOU PHIL IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH YOU!
