These 7 Things Throw Norwegian Fjords Cruisers Every Time!

…ke design. And of course, they have trolls everywhere. Always check on the label where they’re made. I would stress again that Norway is very expensive.

Las Vegas: Observations

…rest of the USA (and world) was suffering from the “Great Depression”. The New York “Mob” is generally then attributed with providing the next surge of growth for Las Vegas as they muscled in and reinvented the offer to people visiting the city.

The vision…

British Airways BA First Class: The old and the new versions

…in First on the way back. This month on a trip to Beijing and then one to New York I have flown First on one leg. Both them the daytime return. I do love First. You do fee very pampered and special. The cabin and seats are very dated now and I think they are going to be upgraded, but it is still great. The seats feel very private and the beds are comfy with big duvet and a great amenity bag. The service is outstanding. I suspect though it is a dy…

…n every single year, and they’ve been doing it for decades. It goes out of New York, around the 21st, 22nd of December, and comes back to New York around the 3rd or 4th January. I met people when we first went on that cruise, that had been doing it since they were children, and they’re now in their 20s. Their family and extended family go every single year, and they book those as soon as they come on sale. Again, even if you’re sailing on differen…

…ng to New York, and then am staying on the ship for a 12 night cruise from New York to the Caribbean and back. I get back to New York on 3 January, and will fly back from there to London. I am hoping that it will be somewhat calmer than the transatlantic crossing that we did on the Queen Elizabeth 2 around the same time in 2004, where we encountered massive 30 and 40 foot waves. One evening only about 30% of people made it to dinner as so many peo…

…y part by the experience that I had flying Continental from Los Angeles to New York Newark. This leg of my trip was part of a round trip on Virgin Atlantic from London Heathrow – Los Angeles – New York – London Heathrow.

…noon tea which is a big ceremony, the opportunity to unwind and sailing to New York. I prefer going from Southampton to New York, as you have 25-hour days for five days, and bear in mind there are three classes on board, Britannia, Princess Grill and Queens Grill, and the restaurant you eat in depends on which you are in. However, probably about 90% of the ship is open to everybody. It’s not class-based other than the restaurants. You can also, by…
