Cruising the Norwegian Fjords: Cunard Queen Elizabeth Kitchen Galley Tour

Restaurant. You enter the Galley Tour from the downstairs of the Britannia Restaurant, and exit into the Veranda Restaurant. This is the alternative dining venue where you pay a surcharge to eat there, by item on the menu versus a flat fee other cruise lines have in their alternative dining venues. It focuses on French style food. The name Veranda comes from the original Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary as they both had restaurants of this name. Cun…

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

…pensive. “The Mews in Holetown on “2nd Street,” where there are a bunch of restaurants and bars. Their sister restaurant “La Mer, ” is at Port St. Charles is also very good. It is based in a complexwith a lagoon, and where lots of wealthy people own property, because they can sail their yachts and boats up to their properties. Both have great food, and are a bit cheaper than The Cliff, but very nice. The “Sandy Lane Hotel” is probably the most fam…

What’s Queen Mary 2 Like Today? The Good, Bad & Baffling

…the biggest suites of all. Guests in these suites eat in the Queens Grill Restaurant. There’s also Princess Grill, which are smaller suites and those guests eat in the Princess Grills restaurant. Cunard focuses the Grills very much on the dining experience. And undoubtedly, the Queens and Princess Grill dining experiences are probably the best dining experiences I’ve ever had at sea. However, other lines have upped their suite experience beyond t…

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

…king great, and for small ships there are many options. Seven of them. The Restaurant The main dining room is called The Restaurant. It is open most days for breakfast, on sea days for lunch and dinner every evening. The food is good and the menus large. It is open seated dining, and I like that you can get any table size you want. So, even for me cruising solo there is no issue with me having a table to myself. They don’t ask or offer people to s…

I Test Seabourn Expedition Cruising To See Why Cruisers Are So Unhappy

…newest classic ships the Ovation and the Encore and, unlike some of those reviewers, I felt they had a similar look and felt classy. I think the best way of reviewing the public areas of the ship is deck-by-deck starting from the top. Constellation Lounge Up on Deck 9 is the Constellation Lounge. This is a great space overlooking the bow of the ship with an outside deck. I would go up there when sailing out at sunset for incredible views. It was…

…is a Starbucks concession in the lobby, which is popular. The food at the restaurant is not great overall, again very functional. The room was large and comfortable (as the photos and video show): Video of Room 374 I stayed in: Westin Hotel Princeton This is what I thought in 2008: What a strange hotel. I was so glad I was only staying one night! That was more than enough. It has been many years since I stayed here, and then it was called somethi…

My Sofitel Macau Review

…d be taken out while exploring, and we used it to find our way around, get restaurant tips and so on. A great addition for visitors. The spa looked posh, and used L’Occitane products but we were too busy to get to try it, though we did use the large pool and fitness centre. There is a casino below the hotel, and so there was a chance to gamble on the property. I found the hotel was comfortable, felt luxurious and enjoyed our time here. Extra tip:…

What’s Wrong with Cunard Cruise Line? Tips on surviving past their 175 year anniversary!

…ese and Indian. But these are in the rather uninspiring Kings Court buffet restaurant which places table cloths on the tables to make it a restaurant – rather than the more refined and designed alternatives on other cruise lines. Modern travellers need more diversity of speciality dining and providing places like a sushi bar, tapas and other food trends is needed. This is where the lines attracting younger and more modern travellers excel. Perhaps…

I Paid A Fortune to Cruise On “New” Crystal Cruises. Was It Worth It?

…r had at sea. Osteria D’ Ovidio Osteria D’ Ovidio, is an Italian specialty restaurant. Again, another classy looking restaurant, with a good and interesting Italian classics. While I liked it in here, I am not sure it is elevated above any competition at sea as the other dining venues were. But the food was good and tasty.
