What’s Wrong with Cunard Cruise Line? Tips on surviving past their 175 year anniversary!

…check your account balance, watch films and shows on demand or make dining reservations or order room service. This makes it cumbersome and inefficient for both guests and customer-facing crew who should be liberated to spend more quality time advising and building service with guests than processing simple requests like copies of statements. Modern consumers are used to doing things interactively, and at a time that they want, rather than having…

Crystal Cruises tips, tricks and advice : How to get the most from your cruise

…I left it late and was wait-listed on some excursions and did not get spa reservations that I wanted on sea days. You need to decide your dining arrangements. You can select early (around 6pm) or late dining (around 8:30pm) or choose to have “dining by reservation”. While the first two options will have you seated at the same table with the same serving staff, with the latter you can reserve a time each day or arrive and request to be seated at a…

SCANDIC CROWN HOTEL GOTHENBURG SWEDEN: dull, bland and pretty bad all round

…more or less.For what it costs, it is not great value. I did not like the hotel much, though as a straightforward, no nonsense place to stay it is fine. Though not as central as some of the other Scandic hotels in the city. The room I had faced into the atrium, and it felt a bit like you were trapped – so probably an idea to ask for an outward facing room. The room was ok. Though the furniture, fixtures and things like towels and bedding felt che…

Novotel Hotel at Warsaw Airport Poland. You get what you should expect…

What can I say really… The Novotel Hotel at Warsaw Airport is a hotel near the airport by Novotel. So you know exactly what you are getting. At least from that perspective they are consistent – not exciting, not special but reliably consistent. Overall I am not crazy about Novotel hotels. They are in unremarkable to ugly 1970s inspired buildings that look and with a finish that says budget was not high. They are always clean but decor is well mea…

Hotel Majestic, Barcelona, Spain (review and video)

…e. This trip I had a large room which was very quiet as at the back of the hotel and not overlooking the main road. The air-conditioning is very quiet which is a boon as I hate air-conditioning noise and in most hotels have to switch it off at night no matter how hot or cold it gets! The rooms feel dated and uninspired decor wise, although they are not shabby at all. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and this combined with the quiet made f…

Ramada Hotel, Newark Airport, New Jersey USA; Room video

This is a video of Room 370 at the Ramada Hotel at Newark Airport, New Jersey, USA. As you will hear in the commentary I am a bit tired and fed up! This is not really to do with the hotel which I was pretty pleased with as usually Ramada’s I have stayed at have been not that great. The rooms were a good size, clean and comfortable. The reason for being unhappy was it was after a long and bad day due to Virgin Atlantic (who I usually praise) who t…

MSC Preziosa: Exploring The Difference Between a Great & Average Travel Experience

…e key to a great travel experience. Not just how stunning the destination, hotel or ship is. A 3 Star, 4 Star or 5 Star Hotel will physically largely be the same as their equivalent 3 Star, 4 Star or 5 Star competition. But you can have 3 Star Service at a 5 Star Hotel, just as you can have 5 Star service at a 3 Star Hotel. There are only really 2 commercial plane brands (Boeing and Airbus), and all airlines fly them. So while there are some diffe…

My Crystal Serenity Review : A Sophisticated Adult Experience

…not a lot of evidence of catering for non-English speaking guests. Luxury hotel decor My favourite hotel chain is the Four Seasons. I love the way that they manage to create soothing and stylish decor that is rich on detail, plush, comfortable and successfully combines tradition and contemporary elements. If they decided to create a cruise line they would be frustrated to discover Crystal had out “Four Seasoned” them. I loved the decor of the shi…
