My Week Cruising in A Controversial Ship-Within-A-Ship – MSC Yacht Club

…d toiletries like on other luxury suites but just dispensers in the shower labelled “body wash” and “shampoo”. One big plus was the cabins are well away from noisy and busy venues, and my cabin was incredibly quiet. I would say my cabin is one of the quietest I have had on any cruise ever! As the ship was modern and new, even the air conditioning was very quiet. As the Yacht Club is in the front of the ship and high up, the restaurant had incredib…

…it may be the best place to eat on scenic itineraries. Most cruise buffet restaurants are located high up, at the rear of the ship, have floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides and an outdoor dining area overlooking the ship’s wake so offering views to most diners. Main dining rooms tend to be lower down often with fewer or smaller windows, and at best a handful of people get to see the views. So, when I’m cruising in scenic places, I dine in the b…

…seating and glass dome for incredible sightseeing. On the lower level is a restaurant and open-air platform. The higher level ensures the almost uninterrupted sightseeing as you are above trackside vegetation at most times. You stay on the train all day, with no stops, and being able to move around and dine at a table versus in your seat is most welcome. The best way to explain the differences is through seeing them.

…ympics). As mentioned, these usually cost around £10 each to enter. Cafe & Restaurant: There is a very large and impressive cafe/ restaurant which has a mixture of modern areas and then grand areas. The decor is breathtaking. There are many stations offering a wide selection of food and drinks.

On the 7th floor is a pool and small but well equipped fitness room. The pool is a good size, 4 foot deep with a room that can retract…

Concorde Saint Lazare Hotel Paris France

…. This is a real pity. I had one of the most costly and awful meals at the restaurant. One thing that is generally good at Concorde hotels is that the staff is all very friendly and helpful, from the guys on the door through to the housekeeping teams. I was staying on the 4th floor. The corridors with their dark and art deco styling feel like you are walking down the corridors on a stately cruise liner from the time when cruising was glitzy and pl…

It is not as luxurious as the more premium five- and six-star lines and has facilities and service to match. I would describe it as comfortable and not luxurious, and you should not expect five-star touches like high thread linen…

…like MSC has its ‘Yacht Club’ and Norwegian has “The Haven” with exclusive restaurant, pool deck and other facilities for premium suite guests. In the premium category, Celebrity has The Retreat which includes a private deck, as well as a dedicated lounge and restaurant. While for those that can afford it, it’s great to escape the crowds on bigger ships and luxurious, it does mean increasing space on ships are being closed to other passengers. SUP…
