WESTIN PRINCETON (New Jersey, USA) : Review and video

…had many guises over the last 2 decades. Recently refurbished, it is now a Westin. The hotel is located in a strange shopping and office complex (Forrestal Village) that was supposed to be one of those Outlet Shopping areas, but never quite worked. The revamped hotel is probably one of the nicer hotels in the area (but that is not a huge compliment!). It is functional, comfortable and good for business travellers. There is a Starbucks concession i…

The Westin Cape Coral Resort at Marina Village Florida – Tips For Travellers Video Review

Watch my video overview and review of the The Westin Cape Coral Resort at Marina Village Florida. The good and the not so good. See it in my video.   I also wrote a short review of the hotel which said: I liked the Westin a lot.

Although the room I stayed in (a trad…

HILTON MILLENIUM HOTEL, NEW YORK, USA: noisy due to ground zero building

…en TV. The bed is large but not as comfortable as those at the Sheraton or Westin. There is a surprising lack of choice of places to eat or drink. There is only a very small bar in the lobby and one restaurant on the 3rd floor (which did a satisfactory but not stunning buffet). There is a fitness centre but I did not get to it on this trip. The hotel is right next to the famous Century 21 discount label department store and an easy 10 minute walk…

Getting Disembarkation Day Right

The Best Way To End Your Cruise: Getting Disembarkation Day Right

…if you are putting your luggage out keep the tear off tag from the luggage label, that will remind you what allocated slot you have and, as some cruise lines require us to show our luggage tag colour to let you off the ship, the allocated time. Finally, when packing, don’t pack the cruise line umbrella, dressing gown, binoculars or other bits and pieces around the cabin. You will likely be charged for those and often at a much higher amount than i…

…ke design. And of course, they have trolls everywhere. Always check on the label where they’re made. I would stress again that Norway is very expensive. The currency is the Norwegian kroner, and because it’s not the Euro, the exchange rate is more complicated, it’s easy to get confused about how much you’re paying. Make sure you understand it. On the plus side, many of the souvenir shops will take Euros and some will take dollars or UK Sterling. I…

I Tried the World’s “Most Popular Small Ship Cruise” Line: Windstar Cruises

…ut the overall dress code was very relaxed. This was not a flashy designer label for dinner experience, it was more like when I have been on an expedition cruise. In short, were what you bring and wear was low on the list. Personal Feel The third thing was with a maximum of 312 guests and 200 crew. People said they liked that they got to know the crew and vice versa. They liked always being called by name. As the same crew would man lunch, dinner,…

How to explore Vancouver British Columbia without having to walk much.

…ur, beaches and False Creek. I loved this trip! Their office is inside the Westin Bayshore Vancouver Hotel, a short walk from the bus Stop Six. After donning bright red all-in-one suits that keep you warm, dry and act as flotation devices, you board the zodiacs for the thrilling trip. The Captain will stop to give commentary and stories of the city. If you are lucky you will get up close to some of the resident Bald Eagles or Seals that live aroun…
