…think as it is a smaller audience due to the cost, this helps the positive reviews and ratings. Viking has very loyal and repeat fans who review often and are also fast to defend the line. However, I agree that they are a slick and stylish line. The reason I rate them less highly than the ratings suggest is although I cruised them twice, I do feel the fares are high for what they provide. I feel the line works best for travellers that like a more…
…with views across to the ocean and handy to explore the island. To see my review, video and photos of Korianna House: click here Most tourists tend to stay in the Lassi area, which is near to Argostoli and has resorts, hotels and apartments with lots of shops and restaurants. It tends to be younger and quite busy and buzzing. The next most popular tourist areas are in the south near to Skala or Katelios. To see a range of hotels click here. Many…
…g. It seats about 200 people. Then there’s the very up market, Jules Verne Restaurant, which is on the second floor, with its own private elevator. It’s one of the top restaurants in France. On the ground floor, there is an exhibition of original elevator machinery. On the first floor exhibits and displays and a bit of shopping, on the second floor you get great photographs. But the view from the top is really just amazing. #3: The Louvre After th…
…thing nice, then do not say anything at all”. So I probably should end the review here! I had heard about the Monkey Island Hotel for about a decade. I worked not far from the hotel out in Maidenhead. The hotel is located between Maidenhead and Windsor, and about 45 minutes from London. I had thought it was an up-market and plush hotel. It looks great from the outside and the gardens, but the rest was disappointing. To be fair to the hotel we paid…
…ular cruise ships but there is still a good range of options. There is one restaurant (although an outdoor grill operates on deck six for lunch and serves the line’s signature “Hot Rocks” at night), one main bar (Panorama Lounge), indoor smoking room, Observation lounge, Theatre (used for talks, briefings and muster station), small fitness room, hairdresser and one spa treatment room, sauna, steam room, hot tubs, gift shop boutique, library / Inte…

…d the restaurants………..(see below!) 2.) Awful Food: If I wanted to set up a restaurant to charge the highest prices — for the worst food — with a captive audience — Fisherman’s Wharf would be at the top of my list. If you think you are dealing with a family fisherman’s restaurant taking fish out of the Bay and onto your plate — you’re in for a rude — and expensive awakening. 1.) Scams: From street “performers” who are just a hair from homeless panh…
…our deck was last night, we did not go and enjoyed having the Queens Grill restaurant to ourselves for most of our dinner until everyone that had been to the cocktail party flooded in. I think we will go to this one, as think it may be the Cunard World Club members one. I popped into the Concierge Lounge again. This is a lounge where you can get DVDs, games for the X-box and make arrangements for transfers etc. It is for Grills Passengers and is a…
…tic and inconsistent. Food overall was average. Though the expensive Villa restaurant was good. We were due to spend 5 nights there, but knew that was too long when the chap who took our bags seemed surprised we would stay that long. A maximum of 2 nights would be more than enough. The Entertainment Centre is awful, and full of poor fast food places. The sun City hotel is a better casino (though very small) and the Orchid Restaurant was ok. If one…
…Breakfast is a fantastic and huge buffet, and lunch is served also in the restaurant but is very quiet. The bar has light food until 7pm. The restaurant at night is popular and has a good menu and lots of variety. The hotel has a lot of staff and service is fantastic. I really loved the hotel and recommend it highly. I will go back.
