The cruises departing from US ports on LARGE modern ships with tonnage > 150,000 are totally different than what you experienced on that cruise in river Nile.
So? I fully understand that. What is the significance of your comment? I should like cruising on one of the modern behemoths? Count me out! I am a sailor. I have sailed the 'seven seas'. Sail, not stink boater. The Great Lakes, the Pacific, the Caribbean, the Irish Sea, and also the Nile, on a felucca.
