My MSC Preziosa Review and Video Tour

…ol at the rear of the ship. There is a huge and very good gym. It was very popular, which is a function of the passenger profile which was younger and active. I liked the MSC Preziosa. It was stylish and bright, but not too brash and “Las Vegas” in style. It attracts a young and family crowd, and so if you do not like the boisterous nature of family resorts then the Yacht Club is a good way to enjoy all the many features and still be able to find…

Island of Capri Italy. A stunning island worth braving the rough ferry for!

Capri Island Italy Watch my video tour of Capri: You take a ferry from the port of Naples across to the island. The bay of Naples can be choppy and the ride can be very rough.

…have to cross a footbridge to get there. The grounds are stunning. It is a popular venue for weddings as a result. My mother always told me that “if you cannot say anything nice, then do not say anything at all”. So I probably should end the review here!

New York Hilton Midtown. Reliable and Consisent NYC Hotel

Sheraton on the Falls at Niagara Falls Canada. Amazing views!

…d taste of building architecture is the reason for that. The look that was popular when it was built seems to have dated fast. Inside the hotel it is also quite a dated style, but the staff are enthusiastic, welcoming and helpful. This is true of everyone I came across from the valet parking, reception, executive lounge and also in the stores like Starbucks and Gift Shops that are located (but not run) by Sheraton. The room was clean, and the bed…

Hilton JFK Airport Hotel New York Video Tour and Review

…ty is fine, with a few cardio machines and some free weights. The pool was popular with people travelling with children. The food and service in the restaurant was also just fine.

I left too early for the breakfast, and the evening “nibbles” were a bit uninspiring. Overall a fine hotel if you need to stay at the airport to g…

Martin Blanar, the hotel manager on the Silver Whisper, told me that Silversea decided to drop the “production style” shows that have become the standard and predictable approach on many cruise ship…
