Cunard World Cruise : Week Two Highlights (Port Canaveral to Aruba)

…lp support and fund start-up businesses by young people. World Premiere of new show: “One Way Or Another” I have been very critical over the years of the stodgy and uninspiring production shows on Cunard, which I felt were dated revues of old songs around predictable themes. It seems things are changing at last. A new show was launched today called “One Way Or Another” produced by Qdos, a UK-based entertainment company that is the force behind the…

I Try A Cruise Line Everyone Says Is Going Downhill Fast!

…ef had been with Azamara just weeks, some of the others only joining since new ownership. A new Cruise Director, Darren Lynton, was on board to learn the Azamara way from our well-established one, Amanda Poulson. This could be an effect of restaffing challenges many lines are having post shutdown, not due to the ownership change. But it did show up in service, with new crew still learning the ways and culture of the line. Azamara crew are friendly…

I Paid A Fortune to Cruise On “New” Crystal Cruises. Was It Worth It?

…ess one area they fall down versus the other ultra-luxury competition with newer and larger ships. This makes it a good time to talk about what I found and feel Crystal does less well, starting with explaining more about that cabin point. Crystal Cruises Less Good: Mish Mash Of Cabins As the ships are older, the entry level cabins I saw are smaller than the entry level cabins on the competition even though similarly priced.

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

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…
