Small Ship Luxury Cruise Line Comparison: Who’s Best?

…xy new entrant, offering purpose-built ships with European luxury boutique hotel at sea look and vibes. Their 922-guest ships are modern, with lots of outdoor deck space, multiple pools and hot tubs dotted around, and stylish boutique hotel-like lounges, bars and restaurants. They have only balcony cabins, again very modern. They are also known for being the only line in this category that is actively courting families. It’s the only one with Kids…

Celebrity Eclipse Review. Ship tour, staterooms, suites and more

…Overall I think the ship did not feel like a ship, and more like a 5 star hotel that happened to go to sea. I am sure this will appeal to a lot of people, although think it is more targeted to the American than a British consumer. It does have a modern and well planned feel overall, but for me it lacked the tradition and sea-faring approach that Cunard has. I missed the sense of link to the sea and some touches like the open promenade deck that C…

Singapore: My guide and top 10 tips on things to do

…To find them head to Clark Quay, Boat Quay, and Robinson Quay. #10 Raffles Hotel My last and final tip is Raffles. As I mentioned before it is named after Sir Thomas Raffles. It is a beautiful old colonial hotel. They have the amazing shops selling Singapore and Raffles branded souvenirs. You must visit the Raffles Bar and have a “Singapore Sling” which was invented by one of the barmen at Raffles. You are given peanuts which drinks, which you pod…

Prague, Czech Republic. Review, photos and video tour of this magical European city

…city, and buses are the easiest way. Or book a pick-up in advance via the hotel you are staying at. Many of the tourist leaflets advise that if you are using a taxi from a taxi rank, or hailing one, that you agree a price before the trip, as there seems to have been some issues with rip-off and over-charging. I noted that at some taxi ranks across the city there were signs with guidelines on what a fare you should expect to pay, so you can make s…

…rked, and you think that they would have at least have tried to ensure that the replacement worked. When booking, check you get a deal that has the valet parking and the breakfast included as they are expensive as extras. So overall it is a neat, up-market hotel that does a lot well but lacks some of the depth that other 5 star hotels offer. So close but just misses.

Hotels and making you feel welcome. Especially if you stay there a lot……

…ore impressed at a recent stay last week at the massive Concorde Lafayette hotel. Not only are they revamping the hotel and rooms but both on checking in and checking out senior staff (sales on arrival and duty manager when checking out) were called and told me how my custom was valued, how I liked the new rooms and suggestions etc. They really made you feel important. I assume they both knew my record and number of stays at the chain but also the…

Nassau Inn, Princeton, New Jersey

…than the Nassau Inn in Princeton! Of course, I am slightly spoilt as most hotels I stay in are for work (around 8 nights a year) – and we tend to stay in nice hotels. I have had to stay in the Nassau Inn many times in the last 15 years. And I have never liked nor enjoyed it. I only stay here when I have to, like this trip when we are at a meeting being held all week here. The hotel feels run down and shabby from the outside and all through. It is…

Cunard Queen Victoria: 4 nights cruise May 2008: My Journal

…ilding which used to be the Holland America Line headquarters but is now a hotel called New York. We had breakfast in the room today, having placed and order before bed. It was great, though the Queens Grill restaurant is so beautiful and the service so good we also missed out on that. Once the ship had docked we got off and caught one of the free shuttle busses for the short ride into the centre of town. There was a very amusing guide who told us…

Hilton Arc de Triomphe Paris

…he hotel for 4 nights for a training meeting we were running. I loved this hotel. It has a stunning art deco look which is executed with style, flair and a great attention to detail.The entrance hall is large and impressive. The halls very long but quite breathtaking. The bedrooms have large comfortable beds, very funky bathrooms. Staff is helpful and friendly.The downside is that the hotel is not that convenient. It is a fairly long trek to the C…

Chauncey Conference Center, Princeton, New Jersey: Review and Videos

…u are very isolated and far from anything. There is not a lot to do at the hotel – and the gym that they say they are “proud” of is pretty basic with a multi-gym and some cardio machines. 4) The bedrooms are ok – but the air conditioning/ heating system is very poor and is noisy and either boiling hot or off. Though the 2nd time I stayed the room was much better and I am probably just being picky as I hated the overall hotel experience! My advice…

Caribbean Cruise Part 2: Setting off, and the dreaded charter flight

…room to get a better nights sleep. Here is a video of a room at the Hilton Hotel. It is on the new part of the hotel and is an executive room. This is actually the room we stayed in last time, but the room we were in this time was exactly the same. In it I am being very pompous and stuck up after a horrible stay here last time in a very nasty room! We were in the check-in queue for our charter flight at 7.08 am. It is flight chartered by P&O and I…
