7 Cruises To Steer Clear Of These Days. And Why!

…o Avoid: Maiden Voyages I also definitely regret going on maiden ships and new cruise lines at or close to launch. For example, I went on the completely new line Explora Journeys early on after launching. While the ship was beautiful, many things weren’t running nor working as it should be. They were still working out how to get things to run smoothly, crew was inexperienced and had not gelled and were unfamiliar with the ship and systems. The pro…

British Airways new TV ad says “DON’T FLY”. Find out why!

…o NOT fly! This may seem a strange thing for an airline to do, but it is a new campaign that calls for people in the UK to stay at home and support Team GB in the London 2012 Olympics. The stunning, and very incredibly realistic TV advert, shows people boarding a BA plane at Heathrow. It then taxis through London to the main Olympic Stadium. Once there, people disembark off the plane into the Stadium. While this happens, the song by The Clash “Lon…

White House Inn & Spa, Napa, California (review and pictures of this great new hotel)

White House Inn & Spa This relatively new inn in Napa is excellent. It is a great place to stay in Napa. The inn is in a large old mansion in a relatively unimpressive neighbourhood. The large white house was built around 100 years ago and has recently been restored / renovated by the new owners. They have done a magnificent job with the place. The White House is not surprisingly white. It stands in beautifully lush grounds and looks impressive f…

Cunard Queen Victoria: 4 nights cruise May 2008: My Journal

…at the issue was because in dock were the P&O Ventura ship (which is their new largest ship and holds close to 3000 passengers), the Independence of the Seas (which is the new Royal Caribbean ship, and the largest cruise ship in the world) and our ship (Queen Victoria). It took ages and we were stationary for ages. Once we arrived at the Cunard Queen Elizabeth terminal, the rest was very fast. Our bags were whisked away and then we strode into the…

Hudson Hotel New York: review, Video & Photos. SO small So Funky So horrible!

Hudson Hotel New York is a trendy, hip and funky hotel. It is also a strange hotel that will not appeal to everyone. You can read my review below.…but take a look at the video of the room below which shows just how small this room is. It is not cheap at $220 at a special corporate rate as we are at a conference, but is only 135 square feet and not for those who don’t like confined spaces… but looks good.. I would never spend my own money to stay…

12 Tips For Choosing and Making the Most of a Transatlantic Cruise Crossing

…nsatlantic Crossing #5: Which is the best route to go, from Southampton to New York or the other way? I have done both, and if have a choice would prefer to do Southampton to New York. Firstly, as you have 25 hour days for 5 of the days, as you change the clocks day-by-day so by the time you arrive in New York you are on USA East Coast time. That means longer to enjoy yourself. You have short days coming the other way. Secondly, you have the speci…
