Pam, we do not have the whole boat this time. There are 33 cabins and we have 11 of them. I am guessing it is about 2/3 to 3/4 full just based on the fact that there are some empty tables in the dining room, but not sure.

Since we have Henry and Hany as our guides we have a different schedule for touring than the rest of the passengers based on what they decide is the best order of things and timing. For instance this morning the schedule called for an 8 AM your of Edfu, but since we are on for the 7 day round trip we all opted to sleep in a bit and see Edfu on the way back.Hany presented a great lecture on Egyptian mythology for us at 9:30. Right now we have a couple of card tables going on deck 3. there is a comfortable open space in the middle of the ship above the atrium with panoramic windows, card tables, chairs and couches so we can see the scenery on both banks of the Nile go by. The Internet also works here, but there is no wireless access in our cabins although you can connect if you have a computer with an Ethernet cable. This afternoon we will visit the temple of Kom Ombo and tonight is the galabeya party with dinner on the top sun deck.
