why don't you create a messenger boards or chats so that people who went to your cruises would contact people they've met.. since lots of people meet interesting people then lose track of them.. i hope you would take my suggestion into consideration. looking for ward to be on your next cruise.thank you..

ARE WE ABLE TO TRAVEL ONE WAY ONLY?

Mistresses Comment : No not on the cruises, only on the ferry.


Date:5/22/2002

I found very interesting your web-site but i think it's not updated regularly. It's not helpful to look for a cruise for this summer and you only find last year's information and timetables. Thank you!

Mistresses Comment : We update as the info changes, many cruises are not going this year and so we keep last years prices as an indication of price and frequency. New info is posted first at www.cruisecyprus.com and then here, usually a couple of days later.

Are there any ways of getting off the Island of Cyprus with a car to UK,either via mainland Greece or direct to UK. Please E Mail me at ****  Why have all the ferries been suspended?

Mistresses Comment :There are no ferries this year - only cargo ships for your car, but we can arrange it. There are many rumours as to why not - the Olympic committee seems to have the main blame - Athens port will not accept the ferries apparently.

Hi, Susannah,
 
We had a great time in Egypt and on the Cruise Ship Serenade. Only the food was a little too bland for our Indian pallates. But it was all part of the fun.
 
Didn't get to meet you. All the same, thanks for everything.

REF Par/324984 My wife and i came on a 2 day cruise to Egypt on 28th July. We sailed on the Atlante. I would just like to say thank you for such an excellent time. The service was good from the word go, and continued till we left the boat. The entertainment was excellent, and the food delicious. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and very talented too. Well just thought i'd give you a short note to say thanks, and we will definitely be cruising with you again when we come over to Cyprus. Yours thankfully Mr & Mrs C.A.CURTIS.

I recently to a small cruise with my parents on the Marrissa and I would like to say that all the staff on board the ship were delightful and very heplful however in future maybe when big groups book you should try and avoid puting so many of them on one ship this particular cruise was manly for pensioners cypriot pentioners at that, and in my hole life i have never come across so many rude crude and nasty arrogant people, the pushed and shoved as if their life depended on it especially for food, they smerked at me as I walked past them daily as I was single and wore unappropiate clothing,ie shorts and bright colours, soon the whole ship was gossiping about me causing a huge argument with my parents who are also cypriot and basically ruined my trip, they rearly bought drinks, justs carried their bottle of water everywhere and when show time came they all rushed and grabbed front seats so i never even got to enjoy one evening, maybe in furture you could offer free tickets so that everyone could atleast sit at the front once and when they had their turn they could then sit elsewhere after all the room was big enough but the same people to front stage every evening. As for the summer bar closing at midnight this was also a problem as if i wanted to buy a drink i had to go into the lounge buy it from there and be stared at by all those misserable people as i left the bar alone with my drink. I am aware that this was not a fault of the company but it did completely ruin my first time cruise. yours kindly Maritsa.

I am desperately trying to obtain information on ferry services to Cyprus from either Italy or Greece for September / October 2005. Do you know of any ferry operators who run this route or any cargo carriers who do take passengers. There will be 2 adults, one car & one dog, covered with insurance & full pet passport etc.

Hi Susannah

Just a line to say many thanks for all you did for us when we missed our trip to Egypt , can’t thank you enough! We had the time of our lives, the ship and crew were super ,and to actually touch a pyramid instead of looking at them in a book which I have done for the past 30 odd years was just ..well words escape me!!! The whole experience of Cyprus and Egypt was one I’ll never forget and thanks to you we actually saw it all!!!! The guide was super and the highlite for me was coming face to face so to speak with tutankamun I actually cried it really meant that much to me. Thanks again Susannah you prove there are still nice people out there.

Kind regards
Diane

i recently did the 2 day cruise to egypt. You failed to mention in your brochure the ARMED GUARDS IN EACH COACH AND THE ARMED ESCORT all the way to Cairo. Relaxed is not a word i would use. More like the american assault on bagdad than a relaxing sightseeing tour. Also the way the tour operator osama ( any relation to bin laden?) milked us of our money in the bazzar in cairo while our guide had groomed us before hand. How much commission were they on? She told us she learned her english from watching american movies on tv. Gangster movies i,d bet.I  wont be travelling again. PS. I am a coach tour operator here in Ireland and we do not treat our visitors like that. Then she had the nerve to pass around two envelopes for more money for her and the driver for gratities before she hopped off the bus and left us to return to our ship alone.........


The info regarding the Haifa ferry doesn't seems clear at all. Please help me.

a) Is the ferry from PIRAEUS is back? That what it says on your web page, but it says only until this summer. What happens afterwards?

b) Where are the timetables? When do ferries leave and when they arrive?

c) From my calculations, it comes to around EUR1000 for a return trip for a couple with a small car. Did I made a mistake or is it really that expensive? Why?

Mistresses Comment: What great questions..

a) Yes, After summer, we see. No one knows yet. I think it depends on business.

b) They are esoteric figments which seem to transmute unless magic potion is rubbed in carefully. They are part quark part linear filament but are neither one thing or the other long enough to be a definite timetable - our transmutation team is however working on it full time. As  for the ferries they come and go.

c) Your calculations are completely correct, we think it is outrageous, not only that but the commission is so bad as to be much more trouble than it's worth to even sell them. There was no ferry for a couple of years, we could not believe that an island, which has joined the E.U. could get away with not having a ferry, and urged every other incredulous individual to approach the President of Cyprus with this ridiculous state of affairs (In case he didn't know)

Hi Susannah

Just a quick line to say thanks for all your help in sorting out the cruise for us. We had a really good time and will probably think about doing some more of the cruises on offer once we get to Cyprus to live. We will also recommend you to our friends staying at our villa.

Many thanks again.

Best wishes

Hi Jayne,

I just wanted to email to say thank you for all the work you and the team put

into making sure our cruise was a fantastic experience. The Salamis Glory

really was first class. We all had a fabulous two days and it was the

perfect end to our holiday. I would happily recommend the trip to anyone.

Thank you once again

September 2007

My family and I went on a trip to Egypt with one of the Cruise Lines on
13th Aug 2007 returning 15th August 2007.
Although we were happy with the cruise ship and the tour I wish to
complain about the tour Guide V***** A Lebanese lady who although very
informative overcharged everybody for the entries into the Egyptian
mummies exhibition and the pyramids. She charged children over 9 as
adults and then issued child tickets which were half price and charged
10cyp per person when in fact the the price was 100 eyp pounds equal to
10 English pounds making a profit of £2.50 per person and more on the
children. She also used her position to make money on CD and jewellery
something that I don’t feel gives a very good impression. I feel we
paid a lot for the trip upgrading to a junior suite and the fact that
we felt ripped off by v***** spoilt the trip to some extent. The second
complaint I have is regarding the coach journey back from
Limassol on 15th aug. The coach was full no spare seats until larnaca
and after 10 mins into the journey my seat came loose from the floor
and the rear tyre on the drivers side burst. I asked the driver to
stop as this was surely breaking the law and risking the lives of 80
plus people. He refused and my son had to share a seat with his sister
and the driver suggested I sit on the floor by him, This was appalling
I have photographic evidence of the seat and the registration of the
coach together with pictures of the rear of the coach.
I would be very grateful of your earliest reply.

Mistresses Comment:
Dear Karen,

I am appalled to hear of your experience . It does make me ashamed to be promoting such unprofessional behaviour. I will forward this to the cruise line and try to follow up on their response. Please keep us informed of any response. Not that it means much but we are truly sorry that you had this experience. Cyprus really does have to buck up its act now that we have joined the EU, and although this kind of thing was the norm (in my 27 years here I have seen some pretty unbelievable things on the road, even unto school outings!) we now do have to start taking these things more seriously.

Thank you for letting us know, and as I said, please let us know what response you get as we really are concerned. The only way things will change is by people taking the trouble to complain.

Do you run ferries between Piraeus and Limassol from May or June 2008. Thanks   

Mistresses Comment:  Not this year I'm afraid -   Such a pity, but no, we still do not have a ferry dedicated to Cyprus from mainland Greece. If you can get to Salerno in Italy you will be able to visit Piraeus as you sail towards Limassol, you will not however be able to embark or disembark there!
