Cruise Lines To Steer Well Clear Of These Days!

…ra. Azamara was sold during the cruise shutdown by Royal Caribbean and its new owners clearly struggled a little bit when it first came up and running. I went on Azamara not long after cruising started up with the new owners and it was very under par and not really performing as it used to be. There were cutbacks, food was okay and service mixed. Then they have had lots of issues with their IT, as they shifted onto their own systems with lots of t…

Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport. Does Exactly What You Want An Airport Hotel To Do!

…orey high wine bottle storage tower. There are 2 restaurants. One is a New York Steak House and an Italian. We ate at the latter which, like the rest of the hotel, was efficient. The food was good. There is a popular fitness centre, and noted that they have a lot of members not staying at the hotel. They have packages that can include a number of days parking in their car park. We used the airport valet parking, but the prices were quite similar….

San Francisco: Ferry Building versus Pier 39. There is only one winner!

…uides. It is also a total nightmare, and makes the South Street Seaport in New York seem positively up-market and glamorous. It is a real attraction to avoid. Luckily just down the road is something that is worth visiting and offers a more honest and real reflection of what San Francisco is. And that is the Ferry Building. Pier 39 is just awful. It is a tacky, over-priced and appalling tourist trap. It has terrible shops, terrible food and overall…

Hotel Verta & Heliport Battersea London: thoughts and review

…s really impressive. The hotel is located on the Thames River just off the York Road in an area of Battersea/ Wandsworth that is now covered with apartment block develops, and not really a great location. Unless you coming in on a helicopter, as the London Heliport is attached to the hotel. There is no public transport close by, and it seemed ordering a cab would take about 15 minutes. So not ideal for tourists, and so think they were looking more…

…tions of the de Lacy and Mortimer families to Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York. It became Crown property in 1461 and remained a royal castle for the next 350 years, during which time the Council of the Marches was formed with responsibility for the Government of Wales and the border counties. Abandoned in 1689 the castle quickly fell into ruin, described as ‘the very perfection of decay’ by Daniel Defoe. Since 1811 the castle has been owned by th…

London Sea Life Aquarium: review, photo and video

…to the more depressing cheap and shabby areas like South Street Seaport in New York and Fisherman’s Wharf (Pier 39) in San Francisco. Gone is the Dali permanent exhibition and Saatchi art exhibitions and now there is Movie themed and horror house type attractions. Along with low price fast food, and a very busy McDonald. In here too is the Aquarium. It has been open some years and recently been more active in promoting itself. I had heard mixed th…

CUNARD QM2 QUEEN MARY 2 Q4 PENTHOUSE SUITE REVIEW

…ybembridge. We travelled in Penthouse suite 10092 on the Queen Mary 2 from New York to Southampton in April 2009. And what a suite it is! Originally we had booked in a Q6 suite, which is a Queen Grill level cabin, and been upgraded into a Q4 Penthouse Suite. On Cunard, like on many airlines, there are broadly 3 different classes that are linked to the restaurant that you eat in: Britannia; Princess Grill and Queens Grill. Queens Grill is kind of l…
