10 Scarce But Highly Sought After Cruise Cabins You Should Go After!

…s. The most obvious ones and a good example is on Disney Cruises. I was on Disney Magic recently and I had a Deluxe Family balcony cabin which had a split bathroom, so it made it better for families.

Los Angeles Tips For Travellers : Must-Do and Must-See Things

…l Disney Park, which is out at Anaheim. There are two parks out there, the Disney Park and the California Park. Depending where you are staying in Los Angeles, it is at least an hour drive away. Both are quite small and compact places as Walt Disney never thought it was going to quite take off to the degree it has done, so he never bought enough land.

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

…it on this trip. The hotel is right next to the famous Century 21 discount label department store and an easy 10 minute walk to South Street Sea Port area with its shops and museums and the major drop off and pick up for the round Manhattan bus tours. But overall, it is not a very handy destination for tourists as far from the shopping areas and Central Park etc. Overall, I liked the room a lot but the noise of construction did wake me up earlier…

What Smart Cruisers Do To Guarantee Adult-Only Cruising

…ces Look at lines and ships which offer proper adult-only spaces on board. Disney is probably the best known for having the most comprehensive offering of these. While of course they are likely to have loads of kids, they do have generous adult-only areas. Like on my Disney Magic cruise recently, they had a coffee shop, swimming pool and bar area, and in the evening part of the ship with more bars and night club was adult only. There was also one…

…is protected. Even Disney, operated the hotel and attraction at one time. Disney took on the lease as part of a clever – if maybe naughty – attempt to play off Long Beach and Anaheim as the venue for the new Disney attraction which they walked away from after deciding on Anaheim. As you approach and go on the ship, you do get the distinct feeling that it is a kind of maintained neglect. But do not let that put you off, as the ship is still an ama…

Job-Related Cruise Discounts

Can Your Job Get You A Cheaper Cruise?

…f the other cruise lines also offer deals on an ongoing basis – Celebrity, Disney, and MSC all offer deals, but in terms of value, I think Royal Caribbean and MSC Cruises have the best opportunities for military personnel to get discounted fares and often onboard credit too.
