These are catchwords favoured by most real-estate agents but the same mantra holds true for the dedicated cruiser, who seeks the best position for his or her cabins when booking a cruise.
Sitting here in Singapore at the lovely Marina Mandarin Hotel, I have a view of the bizarre Marina Sands Hotel (looks like a futuristic skyscraper topped by a boat) in one direction, and the Merlion in the other. It's steamy, overcast and may rain any minute, and my thoughts can't help but drift back to our cruise in Azamara Quest, which ended on Saturday in Hong Kong.
To date the trip has been amazing on many levels, and while I do want to talk about the destinations we've visited, there are a few things from the last blog about the ship which I want to share with you.
Fernando is living the life we all aspire to. He has sailed for 130 world cruises aboard ultra luxury line Crystal. That's 15,600 days of being served the finest cuisine, sleeping in suites with a personal butler and visiting the world's most beautiful cities. Who better to tell us about Crystal's next world cruise!
