  1. Cruise ships feature a variety of dining options

    Variety is definitely the spice of life aboard today&rsquo;s cruise ships (a far cry from the dining situation in the 1970s when Jeraldine Saunders wrote her book, <em>The Love Boats</em>, and the subsequent movies and television series&nbsp; <em>The Love Boat </em>based upon her work came along and were credited with popularizing cruising). Back then, there was typically only one restaurant for dinner onboard &ndash;bored or not, take it or leave it!). Now ships have multiple restaurants offering different menus and ambiance to suit different moods and tastes. Here are dining offerings on four ships, in four categories (moderate, premium, upper-premium and ultra-luxury) that feature at least half dozen eateries onboard (and in one case, two dozen) so if passengers so wish, they can dine at a different venue every evening of a seven-night cruise (with one of the nights being room service dinner &ndash;24-hour room service is available on all these ships on a complimentary basis).

  2. Cruise Port Spotlight: Monte Carlo, Monaco

    Roughly the size of New York&rsquo;s Central Park at three miles long and one-and-a-half mile wide, Monaco not only enjoys an incredible setting between the Mediterranean and the Alps and between the French and Italian Rivieras, but could be said to be Europe&rsquo;s own central park &ndash;a once-upon-a-time Mediterranean port of call with a royal palace and streets filled with Ferraris, Mercedes Benzes, Rolls Royces and other luxury cars, designer boutiques and sidewalk cafes.

  3. Rapid evolution marks cruise ship design in 2012

    MIAMI - The Celebrity Reflection that arrived at PortMiami last month had changed so much from the original ship in its class that it was two feet wider in order to balance the weight of an additional deck and other new features.

  4. Touring the Biltmore, on horseback and foot

    ASHEVILLE, N.C. - From the back, the Biltmore House appears sleeker and taller than it does from the front. Built into a hillside, the back side is six stories tall, rising majestically from its stone facing to its French Gothic spires, while the front is four stories and boxy.

  5. The 21st century comes to old Munich

    MUNICH &#8212; This is one of those towns that seems friendly but isn't.
    MUNICH — This is one of those towns that seems friendly but isn't. It offers beer, but its heart is cold. Personally, I like the real Munich better than the jolly stereotype. I like the incredible modern museums, the overly complex rules and...

  9. What sets a cruise ship apart? Unique spaces

    "Make your memory your travel bag," Russian novelist Alexander Solshenitzen once recommended. And making memories at sea is easy, particularly on ships that feature special spaces where passengers can not only enjoy the ambiance, but can actually also do something memorable there. It might be a place where passengers can take a cooking class on dishes of countries they are sailing to, a restaurant where they can prepare their own meal, a water coaster that propels them over the ocean, or simply a garden where they can stop to smell the flowers.

  10. After two decades, a return to Prague in the light of day

    PRAGUE &#8212; Unlike cities such as Salzburg, which are lucky to display the Baroque in small clusters, Prague opens the Baroque onto the visitor like the spread of an eagle's wings. The Baroque and other architectural styles dating back through the centuries are everywhere in the Old Town of Prague because the city famously survived the cavalcade of European wars virtually intact. And it is a wonder to see &#8212; as long as it isn't raining cats and dogs, that is, which is precisely what was happening on my free day at a conference that took me to Prague for my first visit in more than 20 years.
