Reviews on travel websites are rarely honest

June 17, 2016 by · Leave a Comment 

HOW honest are reviews on travel websites? By this I do not mean: is the person writing the review who he says is, and not the owner of the hotel boosting its rating or a competitor doing it down? I mean, rather, to what extent are reviewers' ratings a reflection of their actual experience? Last week, I received an e-mail from a small, family-run hotel asking-very politely, but with notable sadness-why I had marked it so poorly on Booking.com. In fact, having rated the various categories that the website demands, the hotel's score had come out as nine out of 10. The service was excellent, and certainly far beyond what one might reasonably expect for the meagre cost of staying there.

Royal Caribbean faces two lawsuits over storm-battered cruise ship

February 25, 2016 by · Leave a Comment 

Feb 25 Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd faces at least two lawsuits by passengers accusing the company of negligently endangering their lives by letting its Anthem of the Seas cruise ship sail into a fierce Atlantic storm this month. The lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court in Miami claim that Royal Caribbean knew, or should have known, that a coastal storm carrying hurricane-force winds had been forecast before the ship set sail from Cape Liberty, New Jersey on Feb. 6 for a scheduled seven-night cruise to the Bahamas.
