MSC Preziosa Yacht Club Video Tour & Review. Unique ship within a ship experience.

…ns when visiting. Similar to MSC Cruises Yacht Club, the Four Seasons is a hotel hidden on the top floors of Manadalay Bay Hotel with dedicated reception, quiet pool and spaces. Step through a discrete door and you can access the hectic Mandalay Bay casino, wave pools and party bars. Watch my video tour of the MSC Yacht Club I made on the MSC Preziosa which will take you through the entrance, deluxe suite, concierge, lounge, pool deck, restaurant…

MSC Cruises Tips: My Observations, Review and Top Cruising Advice

…d to on land and many other lines. Although the policy is constantly being reviewed, and was tightened up on the MSC Divina when sailing out of Miami to satisfy the demands of North America passengers, there is a fairly generous smoking policy around the ship. Smoking is permitted in many of the bars, the casino and on one side of the pool deck. It is not allowed in the restaurants, children’s areas, lifts, public toilets, corridors, medical centr…

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

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…

Barbados Restaurants: Which are the best ones?

…he west coast north of Holetown and just after the Fairmont Royal Pavilion hotel. A striking white colonial style building houses a small hotel and the large restaurant. You go down a long wooden staircase to the restaurant which is right on the beach. The decor is striking and the staff wears white boiler suits. Overall though, a visit here is not especially memorable. This is because the attitude of the staff on the door and the waiting staff wh…

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…
