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. Most family lines, so lines like MSC, Royal Caribbean, Carnival, and Norwegian, have more family cabins, which will have all those spaces included. The good news is many of them will have them available at all levels. So let’s use Royal Caribbean for…

7 Cruise Dining Traps Too Many Cruisers Fall Into

…check on the rules. Some lines limit how often you can book to go, like on Disney Magic I could only go to Palo, their Italian speciality, once. They also had a rule that it was adult only.

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. It does make it more manageable than some of the other parks around the world. All the classic at…

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…

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…

…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…

Queen Mary Ship and Hotel (Long Beach, California): is this old icon of a ship worth visiting today?

…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…
