    The Beatles were not the only musicians in the world even if they believe they were. Most books shops and even Antique shops in the North West of England have images of the Beatles and they are more like a cult than a music band. As for John Lennon and Yoko Ono harping on about ''Love & Peace'' they were/are FAR from that concept and they were/are the most outrageously hypocritical, biased, prejuduced, warmongering entities on this planet and THAT is what I think of the Beatles legacy and I regard the Beatles as being extremely evil entities, in fact they are all Devil worshippers.

    In light of the recent leadership transition at Silversea, it appears the new president's approach is heavily inclined towards profit maximization, revenue generation, and growth. Regrettably, this focus seems to overlook the impeccable service orientation and unparalleled expertise championed by Barbara. As the discerning clientele to whom this esteemed brand caters, it is imperative to emphasize that guest experience should remain paramount. Prioritizing the enchantment and satisfaction of guests, coupled with an exceptional service ethos and extraordinary travel experiences, is essential. This approach not only aligns with the luxury standards of Silversea but also ensures the continued loyalty and admiration of its valued patrons.

    Strawberry Field is a wonderful place, I was there in march on my 60th birthday and was made to feel so welcome. It is not only a great place to learn more about John and his mates, but you're visiting, buying your ticket, having a cup of tea and a piece of cake in the cafe, and buying something in the gift shop all helps to keep this place to keep going and to help them do the fantastic work that they do with young people. So go and visit and keep coming back. Sit in the garden and enjoy the peace as John would probably say. In closing all I can say is God bless Julia Baird, and all the team at Strawberry Field and The Salvation Army for this amazing place, and all the hard work put into helping these kids, you all do a fab gear job. Thank you...

    I am not happy with my first time cruising with Virgin cruise line. First day in my room, blood on my bedspread, the blanket was on top of the blood, like trying to hide it…. Smh! It was changed on the next day. Secondly my suitcase got lost for over 24 hrs, the right tag was on it, but someone dropped the ball and delivered it to a different room… they decided to keep it for over 24 hrs. I reported it at 6 pm on the same day, I had to do my own follow up as the crew did not follow up to ask me if I needed anything. On my fourth follow up I asked to speak to the manager in duty that advised I would get $100 credit in my account as we speak and if not found $50 every day. What a joke, my shoes/dresses and the suitcase cost more than that. The suitcase was found later.. the credit was not there… went back and I was advised they were waiting for accounting to post the credit. A couple of hours later I got $50 credit. I went back the next day to advise I only got $50 credit. The manager and staff had Alzheimer. She is telling me there is camera in there and she will review to confirm our conversation .., I would love for her to review it…, what a shame. You put my bag in a different room, did not follow up with me and now you are calling me a liar .. please lady “Marija…. Yes that is her name you need to know when you are wrong and not calling the customer a liar. At this point my bad experience with Virgin was a disaster and I don’t plan on ever cruising with them… what a shame to put a customer through all that and not even care. Never again…

  • @StuartFalk
    @StuartFalk Месяц назад

    While we wish Donna great success and welcome her as team leader, Dondra Ritzenthaler, starting today as CEO of Azamara, has plans to do more with commissions, bonuses and other incentives to encourage travel advisors to book. The question advisors and past guests are asking is, "When will Azamara invest in new buildings or more contemporary existing tonnage?" The fact is that all 4 of the current vessels are aging and near their expiration date, with issues that can't be covered up with bandaid refurbishment. The lack of such investment by Azamara's owners are undermining advisors confidence in the brand and its future viability. The Azamara ships were built in 1999-2001 as the R class vessels for Renaissance cruises. It is well accepted from a purely technical standpoint that the life of a cruise ship is a maximum 30 years at which time the cost of repairs far outweighs keeping them in service. And remember these ships were built as cruise ships, e.g. not to be equated with ocean liners. Most cruise lines, however, replace their ships before 30 years due to the increasing cost of maintenance and technical breakdowns (just like your car). It takes some years between the beginning of planning and investing in those plans, starting with reserving space in the heavily booked ship yards and the work of a naval architect. So If Azamara does not the process now, in several years they will be out of businessand selling the current vessels for scrap.

    Hello! I became a victim of fraud by a hotel Temptation that ceased its operations in the Dominican Republic. I stayed at this hotel in 2023, and they sold me a membership in their bonus club (Premier). I paid for the purchase with a credit card. Instead of using the terminal for payment, the hotel employee Jesus copied my card details (number, name, cvc code) and used this information to make an online payment. At the end of 2023, the hotel closed. I tried to contact the hotel representatives to get my money back, but no one responded. I tried to find out from Jesus the names of his supervisors to contact them, but he blocked my number. They continue to withdraw money from my card every month. In total, they have taken about $3,000. I had to block my card to stop them from withdrawing money. After I blocked the card, I started receiving threats from the Premier office, located in Mexico, in my email. They threaten me with international prosecution and involving debt collectors, demanding money. I am sure that all of this was planned in advance.
