Norwegian Epic Water Slides. My idea of heaven at sea !

…a water park close by. I have been to them in as diverse places as Dubai, Los Angeles, Palm Springs, Las Vegas, Mauritius – and even rushed off a ship in Palma to get a taxi to a water park about 15 miles away! Does it bother me that it me and my partner are the only “grown-ups” at every water park by ourselves? Nope! I have been even known to race small kids up the stairs to get to a ride faster. The first time I went on a water slide at sea was…

Regent Claims It’s the BEST Cruise Line – Here’s What I Found!

…on this one. This Grandeur cruise was a Panama Canal transit from Miami to Los Angeles. Most of the ports are the same as a group cruise I am running on Holland America next year. So, a premium not ultra-luxury category cruise line. However, the excursions available to purchase on that are way more varied and significantly better than most of the excursions included on this Regent trip. I assume to work within budget, the Regent included tours a b…

The Highs And Lows Of Cruising French Polynesia

…ns, so probably it’s got to be Air Tahiti Nui or Air France from Paris via Los Angeles (or also via Seattle for Air Tahiti Nui). United flies there from San Francisco. But airline choices are limited. And I found it is costly. For example, June next year an economy flight costs from $2,600 (£2,000) from Europe, and $6,000 (£4,700) in business. From the West Coast, it’s from $1,600 return in economy up to $3,600 business. The cruises are also crazy…

…flying to get from Europe to Tahiti, and it takes a good eight hours from Los Angeles. French Polynesia is eye-opening on so many levels. First of all, the beautiful scenery and beaches on all the islands is breath-taking (literally). Second, I found the people to be so kind, gentle and welcoming and thirdly, observing and immersing myself into the unique culture, cuisine and distinctive music was fascinating. There are couple of cruise lines bas…

Palm Springs Aerial Tramway and Jacinto State Park: not to be missed!

…Springs, a sightly bizarre but very compelling holiday spot 100 miles from Los Angeles, then make sure you do go on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. We did not on our fist visit, but made a point on the next one. And it was clearly something that we should have done first time round. At the end of this blog post is a video I made of the stunning ride up, a bit of what the park at the top looks like, and the ride down. Do watch it, as the engineeri…

This was the only place available for them to smoke as it is forbidden on balconies. Our suite was midships (Q4 7082) and there was noticeably less movement than at the front and rear of the ship. Something I had not really noticed as much on previous trips…
