Mark, I really enjoyed my week on the Orchid but it was my first liveaboard so I had nothing to compare it to. It was a bit tired in places, but the food was good and plenty of it, the diving was excellent (got 18 dives in even after losing a full day to a Flyjet delay), and our guide "Mohamed" was spot on. All the staff were really friendly and kept everyone entertained - but be prepared to get roped into some dressing up and pole dancing



Hope that helps

I can rest a bit easier now, I have organised this trip for 12 of our club members and was starting to get a bit worried after reading some reports, still We will make it a great holiday.

Pole dancing bring it on

Can't say I was too delighted reading the reviews either!

Oh, well...there's always the diving to compensate

Mark/Steve, I really enjoyed my week on the Orchid, as I said it's a little tired in places, but the staff and the diving more than make up for it. I'm sure you'll both really enjoy it

They're all about the same price so is there anything to choose between them?

This is only my second trip to the Red Sea, and although I enjoyed my time on the Orchid last year, I'm hoping for something a bit more luxurious

Thanks
Mike.

If nothing else, I'm sure there will be some information available about the boat.
