Virgin Atlantic to cut in-flight therapists in Upper Class

Got this email from “Richard Branson” about the review that Virgin Atlantic is doing about the future on the in-flight therapists on their Upper Class service. Although it is a review, I guess we can assume they are going. I always thought it was a slightly strange idea, and never in all the times I have flown Virgin ever used them.

Why Are Norwegian Cruise Line Cruisers Are So Unhappy?

…e Food Hall One introduction that I and everyone liked, again similar to a Virgin Voyages venue, is the Indulge Food Hall. Though while on Virgin Voyages it replaces the traditional cruise buffet with a range of different themed dining stalls, on Norwegian they have kept the Surfside Buffet, but added the Indulge Food Hall.

I Tried the World’s “Most Popular Small Ship Cruise” Line: Windstar Cruises

…pens on the ship. By the way one thing that struck me was also it was very American focused in food, style, and service. In fact, one of the slides in the future sales presentation had the line “The only US-focused small ship line”. And I would say easily nine out of 10 of the passengers, at least on the sailing that I was on, were American. Based on all this, would I rush back to Windstar Cruises? While I am thinking it is probably too small for…

The Best Way To End Your Cruise: Getting Disembarkation Day Right

…if you are putting your luggage out keep the tear off tag from the luggage label, that will remind you what allocated slot you have and, as some cruise lines require us to show our luggage tag colour to let you off the ship, the allocated time.
