Due to achieving my gold status, during training with Virgin Voyages I was given the amazing opportunity to get on board one of the ships and experience everything I had learnt. Ported at Barcelona and then cruising to Toulon, Marina Di Carrara, Ajaccio and Ibiza which were all lovely, your there long enough during the day to explore each place and Ibiza has an overnight stay. All the staff are all so friendly and will do what they can to help, the rooms are nice and clean - the whole ship is maintained that way during your stay , there is an Ipad in the room to control the TV, lights, curtains, temperature etc which I liked. The entertainment is good fun but if it is not something your in to then there are plenty of places you can sit and relax. The food and drinks are lovely - the dining experiences are amazing! Everything is clearly labelled for allergies/preference and staff are always making sure your needs are being looked after. From start to finish it was brilliant!

I had a great time at this years CLIA Conerence, it gave me the opportunity to go onboard and explore/experience so many aspects of 3 amazing cruise ships -Royal Caribbean - Anthem of the Seas -Celebrity Cruise - Silhouette -P&O - Arvia they were each amazing in their own way, some highlights were: Anthem of the Seas: -North Star viewing pod -Robo screens in Two70 -iFly -Solarium -Bionoc Bar Silhouette: -The Retreat Sundeck -Le Petit Restaurant -The Persian Garden -iLounge Arvia: -The retracting roof -Altitude skywalk -Infinity pool -Rum distillery they all offered something onboard for everyone despite age, disabilities etc and the food options, more importantly the quality was excellent. If you have never been on a cruise before and unsure weather or not it is for you, there are 2/3/4 night options available with some lines, it is definitely worth experiencing.

Amsterdam is a great city with so much to offer. You can go on a cruise along the canals, get a ferry over to the A'DAM Tower to see it all from above or hire a bike and cycle around the city. There are museums such as the Anne Frank House, shops and markets, attractions like Madame Tussauds and Ripley's Believe It or Not, plus so many lovely places to eat and drink. It is a really busy place but everyone is happy and the people that live and work there are really friendly.

When people think of Vegas, one of the first things that comes to mind is gambling and as fun as that is, there is so much more to see and do. Having access to all the hotels you get to see and if you like, experience what each has to offer, from watching the Fountain of Bellagio to floating around the Venetian on a gondola or if your prefer more adrenaline rush activities you can hang over the edge of the STRAT on their thrill ride, go on the Big Apple rollercoaster at New York, New York or zip wire from the LINQ, other experiences away from the hotels include flying over the Grand Canyon, shooting ranges etc. You can go to Freemont Street for live street entertainment and if you like the TV show Pawn Stars, visit Gold and Silver Pawn Shop. There is also lot’s of shows to choose from, amazing restaurants to try and if your anything like me and love to shop, there is the Miracle Mile shopping centre or two Premium Outlets (one named North, the other South) to get yourself a bargain. Either a taxi, bus or monorail will get you to where you want to go, if it is too far to walk. As the world famous sign says “Welcome to the fabulous Las Vegas” and fabulous it is!
