8 Questions MSC Cruises asked about my MSC Preziosa Experience

…of greeting you and talking to you. When I interviewed the Captain and the Hotel Manager both spoke about how they stress the importance of the crew making each passenger feel like they are individuals and important – and not just one of several thousand people on board. I found this true, with small touches like the Butler bringing me the paper when I was at breakfast as it had not arrived when I set off. As a travel blogger, having regular acces…

…o my audio podcast (links below), where you can also hear me interview the Hotel Manager (Raffaele Cinque) and Head Butler (Thierry Fnu) from the MSC Preziosa. Captain Bossi is quite a character.

Niagara Falls Video Tour. Tacky town. Amazing Falls. Maids of the Mist a must.

…ound and about Tallinn and in Pirita are legacies of them like the Olympic Hotel and marina. It is very beautiful along the coast of Tallinn. Yet during Soviet times the coast line was restricted and civilians were not allowed to walk along the coast. As you come into the city you observe a chocolate box like skyline with the peaks of the various cathedrals of the city. It reminded me a bit of Prague in feel. It is very beautiful when you come in…
