Here’s What It’s REALLY Like On A Viking Ocean Cruise

…ins are also the same across all the ships with a strong Nordic style with nice bathrooms. All the ships also have guest laundry rooms and artwork by Scandinavian artists, photographers, and sculptors. The only difference to other ships I have been on that I came across on Viking Orion, was a planetarium as part of the Explorer Lounge. Although it was not functioning when I was on. There are a few key differences to many ocean cruise lines. Low Ke…

…coast has the best hotels, it’s the most expensive. It’s where most of the nice restaurants are. There’s not many all‑inclusive places on the west coast but there are a couple, like the Almond Club & Spa. On the south coast, which is around St. Lawrence Gap, and actually where Bridgetown is and down through St. Lawrence Gap, through to an area called Oistins is the more popular, more medium to lower priced resorts.

…ered at once And so on. So just lack of detail. People were entusiatic and nice, but not so efficient. I would not recommend this place to friends, as although nice to be just outside the city and quick to get in, it was not special enough for the money.

…hat’s the one to go to. It is not a monstrously big museum but they have a nice big cross section of art. They also have a really nice gift shop in there which you can always find great little gifts and things to buy. Now if you really want to immerse yourself in art of course you have the Metropolitan Museum of Art a little bit further down there, but you could probably spend three days there. So that is for another trip. #7: Evening at theatre o…

Cunard Queen Elizabeth Ship. Newest Cruise Ship In The Fleet Review

…s. There is a good selection and the addition of a Fortnum and Masons is a nice touch. You can make and order hampers that they will deliver to your home address if you want. There is a large art shop and exhibition ares run by Claredon Art. There is a large casino with machines, including popular 1c and 2c ones. Garden Lounge. This was not one of the areas I was impressed with, but the large room with glass roof was popular with many and was alwa…

P&O ARCADIA CRUISE SHIP: REVIEW AND VIDEOS

…surcharge. Both are lovely rooms. We went to the Gary Rhodes one. It was a nice evening – but to be honest the food in the main restaurant was so good and varied that we did not really think it worth the extra cost and so did not go back. It seemed to be fairly empty, although later in the cruise it did get busier we believe. Pools Very nice indeed! We used them a lot! The areas that we suggested they think about in our feedback were: 1. Spa – thi…

MONACO: one of the most surreal places you can visit in Europe.

…s at least. There really is not a lot to do in Monaco, and a day trip from Nice or Cannes is very easy. It takes about 30 minutes on the motorway from Nice, and the drive is quite pretty , and even prettier on the old winding route through the mountains. That has not toll, but the motorway has a toll getting in and out of Monaco and one on the A8 motorway. There is also bus and train options. As mentioned there are huge amounts of parking garages,…

Hotel Du Louvre Hotel Paris: a great location, friendly service and good place to stay

…ld make a point of recognizing you had been in the day before. An easy but nice feeling! To be honest, while I love the location and the warmth of the staff, I would not hurry back as the rooms are just too dated and oppressive.

…ly like the hotel. It is an art deco style and inspired building with some nice touches and overall good decor. The lobby is quite impressive and striking, and the doormen and reception are friendly and helpful so from arrival you feel welcome. The location of the hotel is fairly good as walking distance to the Champs Elysee, but not slap bang in the busy area so I think is a good balance of being handy but quiet and out of the madhouse. The rooms…

Hotel Pentelikon (Athens, Greece) Review and Video

…tayed in the Hotel Pentelikon. Below is a video of the room which was very nice indeed and a review. I did not make another video for this trip as the room was identical (just faced the pool this time). The Hotel Pentelikon is situated in Kifissia which is a suburb of Athens. Apparently many years ago the wealthy residents of Athens would retreat to Kifissia on the weekends and stay at hotels like this to escape the pollution and heat of Athens to…
