M.S Royal Star Reviews

I usually leave all my holiday bookings to a travel agent but this year because I wanted to take the opportunity to be one of the first 50 to book on your August 19th Secrets of the Seychelles cruise I did the booking myself over the phone.
I must commend your booking staff on their competence and the way they helped me through the booking procedure, they were wonderful to deal with and I have certainly told all my friends and colleagues how well I was treated. Thank you.

I returned yesterday evening from a most enjoyable 12 day African Safari Club holiday, the main part of which was the Jewels of the Indian Ocean cruise on the M. S. Royal star. Last year just before Christmas my wife, two daughters (then 19 & 17) and I had so much enjoyed the Secrets of the Seychelles cruise that we decided to spend our first Christmas away on holiday together this year on a different cruise; and how pleased we all are that we made that decision as we had a most wonderful holiday again!
An important part of that was your company’s generosity in upgrading us on the Royal Star from our luxury 4 berth cabin (101) by making available to us a second luxury cabin (228). The two girls much appreciated the privacy and comfort this provided and what would have been a lovely holiday in any case was made even more memorable. Thank you.
We very much hope we may use the African Safari Club again although this obviously depends on finances and college terms. Certainly we will all continue to recommend your cruises which are such good value and in a ship which is such an ideal size. I did work for 2 years with P&O as a ships surgeon in Canberra; a wonderful ship but we did overwhelm all the small places we visited!
Again all our thanks for your generosity.

We greatly enjoyed this cruise because of the small ship’s atmosphere and the beauty of the islands visited. The beach L’Anse de la Source d’Argent is by far the loveliest we have ever visited. We have seen islanders dressing their bushes and Norfolk Island pines outside with Xmas decorations in the blazing sun; quite a novel experience.
One unforgettable moment was when hot and perspiring we went into the cathedral of Victoria to cool down and sat and listened with delight to the local choir practicing ‘’O Come All You Faithful’’.
The guide on our safari was superb and enabled us to spy a leopard sprawling in a tree at East Tsavo, what a thrill!!
Many thanks for this superb holiday and to all your staff.

We have just returned from the best holiday we have ever had.
My husband and I have just spent our thirtieth wedding anniversary in the Dolphin Hotel. We went on the cruise to Zanzibar and stayed at Crocodile Lodge while on safari. Everything was perfect the staff were
both friendly and helpful.
We shall be booking again with African Safari Club in the future.

My husband and I along with our friends, have just returned from a lovely cruise and beach holiday with African Safari Club.
We would like to compliment your organisation and the excellent staff for making it possible. As a nation I think that we are all very quick to make complaints but are not so forthcoming with the praises!
From the first contact with staff at Gatwick airport, the crew on the M.S. Royal Star and all the staff at the Dolphin and adjacent hotels, we were impressed with their aim to please at all times. Nothing was ever too much trouble.
The meals on the ship were excellent in terms of choice, quality and presentation. These were served by superb waiters.
We enjoyed all the excursions we went on, which were all punctual and excellently organised with the tour guides being full of knowledge and personality.
We would certainly book with African Safari Club again and would have no hesitation in recommending your company. Thank you for a very memorable holiday.

We have just returned from your Magic of Mauritius cruise. My daughter was with us on this trip. She is just seven years old and I was a bit nervous about taking her on such a ‘grown up’ trip.
However, she had a wonderful time and the attitude of the crew on the M.S. Royal Star played a big role in this. Everyone on board made a great effort to make her feel welcome and she was ‘spoiled rotten’ by them. The restaurant manager arranged meals like pizza and pasta for the children and on the Gala Evening the five of them sat together which they enjoyed enormously.
The cruise director and the band allowed them to perform a song during the last nights show. This was a great highlight for Kate and she never stops telling her friends about what a great ship the M.S. Royal Star is.
I have never written to a holiday company before but I felt I must communicate how well run and friendly the ship was. It was a trip that we will remember for many years and that was largely due to the attitude of all the crew, from the tender pilot to the cruise director.

Just got back from 2 weeks in Kenya staying at the Flamingo Beach Hotel which is in a lovely setting.
We had a 4 night cruise on the MS Royal Star to Zanzibar which was also 1st class although the entertainment is a bit low key. We then had a 4 night safari, staying at Zebra Lodge which was excellent and Mara Buffalo Camp which was not quite as lovely but adequate. The game drives were all superb and our guide John made it exceptional.
All in all a very enjoyable two weeks - thank you.
