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…

These 7 Things Throw Norwegian Fjords Cruisers Every Time!

…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…

7 Best Things About Cruising

…an around Britain cruise because I was interested in visiting places like Edinburgh and Dublin. But actually, as we went around the top of the country, we visited all sorts of really interesting small places, which I discovered were linked to – and fundamental to – Scottish history. These destinations came alive because I had watched the TV show Outlander which is based in that part of the world, so I got to experience places that I hadn’t really…

Watch Out! Cruise Port Scams That Caught Me & My Friends Out

…port and stuff because it’s fantastic to be there. When we started off at Edinburgh, for example, I was able to watch the tugs pull us out. A couple of other interesting venues that they have is just near the main lounge as they have what’s called the viewing room. They do have a couple of comfy seats in here where they run movies, although that you can watch them on the television anyway in your room. This is where they’ll have un-hosted bridge,…
