…em from being confiscated at Heathrow when someone was trying o smuggle it in , added to the interest and story of the place). There is a “fact finding” scratch card they give to children with 9 questions and that also got us and them engaged, and they got a nice medal at the end if completed and correct. Overall a good day out. But nice visited not sure would go back, but I would recommend it to anyone visiting. See all my photos of the attarctio…

Queen Mary 2 Transatlantic Crossing. Day-by-Day Experience and Tips.

…delicious cod with bok chow and a very scrummy crème Brule. We had a very nice Rose wine. I liked the wine chap as unlike on most ships he was not at all pushy and we felt comfortable just having one glass and not feeling we had to keep on slugging down wine. We did a bit of very unsuccessful gambling, on the fruit machines. The one downside of the casino is that they allow smoking. There is one night it will be smoke free. We then went to be at…

Hilton Hotel Orly Airport Paris France (Review, Photos, Video)

…staff is welcoming and the letter from the manager when you check-in is a nice touch. The room (I was in 304) is large. It felt a bit cold on entering as is all very white and light wooden floors (and in my room the air conditioning was freezing!). But it is a practical and unconventional layout. There is a very handy and large working desk with (expensive) internet access, and then behind that is the very comfortable and large bed. The bed was g…

…king for a really nice room for you” or / and “I have given you one of our nicer rooms” every time I have had these lines the room has not been one of the best (as I have stayed at many of the hotels before I know the rooms). So unless you hear the magic; “I am upgrading you to one of executive club floor rooms” then make sure you reiterate your preferences as they hunt this so-called nice room. Or you will find twin beds, inter-leading doors, noi…

Sydney (Australia) Hotels: Tips from a local!

…nate to hear that you had to experience a stay there. 2. The Marriott is a nice hotel, though it is slightly smaller than some of the larger name hotels, and a little bit back towards the city with not the most spectacular of views. 3. If you are ever to stay in the Shangri-La hotel again, I suggest you pay a slightly higher fee for a ‘Horizon Club Room’. A Horizon Club Room gives you a special room that is larger than your standard room and is lo…

Caribbean Cruise Part 6: Antigua

…t US$12 for about the 2-mile trip. The beach is amazing and very lovely. A nice natural bay that also has a huge Sandals Resort on that looks very tatty but seems to be rebuilt and extended. But there was lots of space on the beach, but it was cloudy and looked like rain and a big Cricket World Cup match was on the island as well. Dickinson Beach Antigua, originally uploaded on flickr by garybembridge. We hired 2 chairs and an umbrella, which were…

…od sized desk to work at and internet access is about Ten Dollars. Another nice touch is the large flat screen High Definition TV.On the lobby level is an enormous bar which is trendy and attracts a hip crowd most evenings but is very busy on the weekend. The restaurant the other side is also great looking and the food pretty good. One stunning feature is the large fitness centre. This has loads of great equipment, is stylish and has nice touches…

Athens, Greece: Part 1 Hotel Pentelikon Review & 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…

…isneyland Hong Kong opened on the man made landfill island where the (very nice) airport is. In the podcast, I look at the reaction to the new Disneyland (the 3rd outside of the USA and also the smallest) and then explore what else there is to do in Hong Kong. As it is mostly shopping, I talk about a few great places to go to do that. I do recommend some short half day tours that are worth looking at doing. Finally I look at the recent history of…

…ifference and different things we have, the Seabourn Square area as a very nice addition. Guests really love that, the fact that we have an area which is kind of a reception area providing a personal service, but you’ve also got the coffee bar, which has an array of different items, the library and an area to relax. You could see today how popular it is, especially on a sea day or if there’s any kind of inclement weather it’s a very nice area to r…

…find that most people during the day will wear jeans or slacks, or if it’s nice and warm then wear shorts. In the evenings again, it’s relatively casual. They suggest a “country casual” / smart casual approach for dinner. In fact, there’s quite a mix on most evenings for dinner and some people might just wear jeans, polo shirt or slacks. On the more formal nights, like the Captain’s Farewell Party, people will tend to dress a little bit smarter. T…
