HILTON MILLENIUM HOTEL, NEW YORK, USA: noisy due to ground zero building

…location are the main guests. The desk for working at has a proper work chair which makes a huge difference. There is a great, modern coffee making machine (which I wish more hotels had) and a really huge flat screen TV. The bed is large but not as comfortable as those at the Sheraton or Westin. There is a surprising lack of choice of places to eat or drink. There is only a very small bar in the lobby and one restaurant on the 3rd floor (which di…

The Best Way To End Your Cruise: Getting Disembarkation Day Right

…vailable later – use disembarkation day to explore, rather than sit at the airport. What do I do with my luggage while I explore? I first see if the cruise line offers an airport transfer with city tour, as the luggage travels with me on the bus. For example, I got off a Holland America cruise in Barcelona last year and did this. But these transfers tend to end by early afternoon. So, I also now look for luggage storage options. For example, I cou…

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…

I Tried the World’s “Most Popular Small Ship Cruise” Line: Windstar Cruises

…Guadeloupe, Virgin Gorda, Mayreau – which I’d never even heard of – and Bonaire. On the cruise, they ran a Middle Eastern Bazaar Future Cruise Sales event. Talking about how they had created sailings there to open a new region to guest. And how their small ships included ports bigger ships could not visit. I also realised that while the trivia, live music and so on were mostly not well attended. when they brought local entertainers, ran port and l…

…e big production shows, which include Broadway shows in some cases, like “Hairspray”. Also, which I agree with, they seem to be able to please all budgets and cruise types. With everything from good value cabins like insides and Oceanview, up to massive luxurious suites, including what must be some of the biggest and most costly at sea at around $60,000 a week. It is interesting that luxury travellers rate the suites, food, and service as much as…

How to explore Vancouver British Columbia without having to walk much.

…leaving the bus if you are on a cruise, close to Stop Three is the Harbour Air floatplane terminal. From here you can take short air excursions on the de Havilland seaplanes that take off and land off the calm harbour waters for spectacular views of Vancouver and surrounds from the air. I would suggest either the 20-minute Classic Panorama (CAD$119/ UK£58)**, which takes you over downtown and the North Shore Mountains, or the 35-minute Extended Pa…

…o a hammock on the balcony which is fun. The bathroom looks great, but is fairly small and cramped. I didn’t mind it but others on the ship with me were less keen. There is less storage than other ship cabins as you cannot store cases under the bed. Overall I quite liked the cabins, though I struggled to find the light switch (tip: it is in the open- fronted cupboard and not easily spotted at first). There are 78 Rock Star Suites of varying sizes….
