The upgrade to a single cabin was great. Brothers Islands were not visited due to wind and waves, which is fine.
The transfer from the hotel in Makady Bay to the airport was in a very old car and not on time. Luckily I was able to rent a 5mm neoprene as my 3mm suit was too thin for 24-26 degrees.

The stairs to the dive deck are somewhat damaged by the Zodiacs, otherwise everything was fine.

Dive guides were busy with a traveling Chinese and neglected the rest of the group
before surfacing, both zodiacs circled for a completely inappropriate length of time in front of the exit point at the boat

This boat really sets the tone. The crew was very motivated and helpful. The dive guides were of the highest standard. Apart from the defective zodiacs, everything was perfect.

Due to the fact that we were only a few guests on the boat, we were all upgraded! Super service on board, competent, helpful and super friendly.

The dive guides and crew are the friendliest we have ever had in Egypt; the food is also great.
The ship is new, but already has problems in some areas; after our trip it went into dry dock, where hopefully the most important things will be fixed.

The ship, which is supposedly "new" and has only been in the water for six months, has considerable defects for its age. Unfortunately, it only meets the standard of a 10-year-old renovated ship.
The toilet flush in an upper deck cabin was already defective when we moved in and could only be repaired in a makeshift manner after 1 hour. The same defect occurred again on the penultimate day. (No blame to the crew, the guys did the best they could with the tools available).
The furniture in the cabin has sharp edges and corners everywhere, especially the plexiglass panel in the shower is extremely dangerous in rough seas. The doors are jammed (the master cabin could only be opened by the captain using force), drawers between the beds were also warped so that only one could be opened.
The ladders on the diving deck are also a major safety risk. The screws no longer hold, they are only screwed into the bare wood and the ladders were therefore extremely wobbly.
The ladders of the zodiacs are just as badly fixed. Unfortunately, one zodiac even broke down completely due to engine damage, and even a replacement delivery in Abu Dabab didn't help.
Unfortunately, there was also no diver emergency call system; the "Diver Reach Emergency Information System" advertised on the ship's homepage, which is one of the reasons why we chose this ship, does not yet exist.
The perfect behavior, great helpfulness and extraordinary friendliness of the crew and dive guides are extremely positive. The food was also excellent, the concept of pre-ordering meat dishes and the fresh preparation is a very successful innovation.

The My Destiny can really only be described as a deceptive package. The beautiful pictures in the brochure and the reality are unfortunately very different, especially when you look at the prices in the upper segment.
Although the ship has supposedly only been in operation since May 2023, there are already defects everywhere. The doors in the cabins do not close properly, the bathroom door cannot be locked open, the drawers in the cabin are all defective, glued-on ornaments are coming loose and so on. Even more serious are the defects on the ladders to the diving deck and on the inflatable boats. There are already rusty screws (why not stainless steel??) on all the ladders, from which the ladders and railings hang crookedly. The engine of one of the dinghies was defective and was replaced with a much weaker one during the trip. When it comes to the interior, you get the feeling that an interior designer with no idea of shipbuilding has taken over the design. A cupboard with two large compartments without any interior organization is hardly usable. In the bathroom and in the cabin, roller blinds hang in front of the beautiful large windows, leaving several centimeters of view to the left and right. In the very narrow bathroom, a washbasin with sharp corners and edges has been installed, as well as a washbasin that looks nice but submerges the washbasin every time it is used. There are no storage facilities above the washbasin. The air conditioning in the cabin works well, but is also very loud.
The beautiful, heavy chairs in the dining area have back legs that stick out so far that guests and crew members constantly stub their bare toes on them.
When diving, the dinghies were usually far away at the dive sites with a lot of current when surfacing.
The safety briefing on board was far too short and incomplete.
This is all a great pity, as the crew is excellent and took wonderful care of all the guests.
Unfortunately, we cannot recommend the My Destiny to anyone.

I don't really have anything to compare it to, as I haven't been on a ship for a very long time.
But for me the time there was really good, everything was just right!!!
It was very, very nice for me!
The staff on board were also always incredibly helpful and friendly.
Many thanks again.

The boat did not meet the claim that it would be put into service in May. There was too much damage and the air conditioning dripped (on the bed), for example. Overall, the boat made a rather worn impression. But it was a successful vacation because the staff was extremely courteous and friendly.

Food visually very good, unfortunately partly tasty not so sparkling. (With the fish you dehydrated so dry he was) Scampis quality good unfortunately overcooked. Desserts super. Several times my ready mounted equipment was unscrewed again O-ring was missing several times, but I have discussed with the guide. My wetsuit I hung to dry in my field of vision, someone removed him there so he is still on the boat. Since he was no longer hanging there I did not notice that he was not yet packed. Have Saturday 1:00 morning directly sent an email via the contact form to Destiny, still no answer.

Since unfortunately strong winds prevailed, the Brothers, from the point of view of the guide, could not be approached. So most of the dives were done at coastal sites, which of course did not correspond to my travel wishes. I would not have booked this tour under these conditions.
The ship is lovingly furnished, but still needs to be brought up to scratch in some places. For example, the announced ponchos were not available. Drawers not yet common, doors etc. not yet seaworthy. This is still being worked on.

Support on board very friendly and endeavored, Zodiaccrew must however also still be tuned in. Guide was not particularly motivated in my opinion.

The food is excellent, varied, tasty. High level of cuisine.

When the teething troubles of the ship are overcome, it will certainly correspond to the upper league of liveaboards where it wants to go.
