What should you expect when cruising the Caribbean?

Queen Mary 2 docked in Roseau Dominica Caribbean Something like 60% of all cruises in the world today take place in the Caribbean! Why is the case, and should you consider cruising the area? The next most popular destination is Alaska. I find the fact that the Caribbean so dominates the world of cruising quite staggering. In reality it probably reflects more the history of cruising which really grew and developed in the area, driven by companies…

Barbados. How to make the most of your time there.

…eep harbor, which actually can take ships even as large as the huge Cunard Queen Mary 2. #2: Best time to visit? The most popular time to visit Barbados is in the run up to Christmas through to Easter time. Which theoretically is the winter, but it’s pretty warm all the year round. It’s between about 24 degrees Celsius and 32 degrees all year round, the only difference is how much rain you get. We have been in both and both were great. It’s much c…

Thanet in Kent (Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate) revival – time for leisurely exploration?

…on Street and The Vale, both areas colonised by artists and musicians. The Queen Charlotte, a pub, art gallery and occasional pop-up restaurant, which opens only weekend evenings, could be your portal into the local creative community. If you’re after some fresh fish then head directly for Eddie Gilberts. Words of caution, if you’re not an enthusiast for homogenous out-of-town shopping complexes, then steer away from the Westwood Cross. Positioned…

…is mind‑bogglingly glitzy. The Royal Apartments, the Hall of Mirrors, the Queen’s Bedroom, are all just amazingly opulent. In addition, you can explore the beautiful park with rowing lake and spectacular gardens. I would go on a guided tour because there’s so much to see, and there’s so much history, so you get the whole story. http://en.chateauversailles.fr Versailles – photo by http://www.flickr.com/photos/sjungling #10: Hotels I have stayed at…

Telegraph Cruise Show: Ideal for both first time cruisers and experienced ones

…t or considered. For example, this year I discovered an amazing new Africa Queen small ship that goes down the river in Botswana, and another small line travelling around Scotland that I did not know about The talks throughout the day. There are 4 areas with theatres that have talks all throughout the day. They each have a different focus, with great and knowledgeable speakers. The 4 different theatres focus on: (1) Ask the experts; (2) Meet the C…

…have much more detail than Cunard cabins, and I think many first time cruisers would like the ship as feel more hotel like and more of a transition as one experiments with cruising. I would like to do a short few days and try it out, but I think for me Cunard is still Queen! Whatever you chose, if you decide to book a cruise, I cannot recommend Jane Chadwick enough, and if you want to find out more about her: http://www.gocruisewithjane.co.uk/ Wa…

…istory have lived there, including Edward V, Prince Arthur and Mary Tudor (Queen of England) who would winter there. It is a mix of centuries of buildings from Norman, Medieval and Tudor. It was finally abandoned in the late 17th century, and eventually in 1811 the ruins were bought by the Earl of Powis from the Crown. The family still own them. The town of Ludlow, that is at the gates of the castle, was built over 900 years ago, and was a planned…

QE2 A PICTORIAL JOURNEY: Book review

…tion to the many books written about Cunard’s iconic and symbolic ship the Queen Elizabeth 2 is from 2 passionate fans of the ship. The book has over 200 pictures that seem to largely be from their own collections that were taken on the many trips that they have taken on the ship, and there is very limited text and some short but interesting sections by William Miller and QE2 Captain Ian McNaught. The thing that I liked about this book is that is…

Caribbean Cruise Part 3: Grenada

…at how volatile the recent history of the island since the 1970s had been. Queen Elizabeth II is still the monarch of the island, although it has been independent from the UK since 1974. The government after independence had been very authoritative and there was a coup in 1979. The Prime Minister (Maurice Bishop) after the coup was initially very popular, but he refused to call elections and had Marxist leanings and close ties to Cuba that made Gr…
