The Queen Names a New Queen

On October 11, Her Majesty the Queen officially named the Cunard Line's new ocean liner, the Queen Elizabeth. The historic cruise line now operates the youngest fleet in the world. The Queen Elizabeth offers Mediterranean cruises along with a variety of other voyages.  Visit CoolMediterraneanCruises for information about Cunard Line Mediterranean cruises or the Cunard web site for all the details about all their ships and cruises.

This Week's New (or Improved) Hotels

The Four Points by Sheraton Galveston is now open on the Galveston Island waterfront.  The 118-room facility overlooking the Gulf of Mexico is an example of the latest Four Points design, featuring beds of a new level of comfort and sizeable work spaces in every room.  Amenities include an outdoor pool, free internet, free coffee in the lobby and dining at the on-site Oasis restaurant.

 

The big 407-room "Westin City Center" in Dallas is now the Dallas Marriott City Center.  Over the next 12 months the place will get a thorough renovation of guest rooms and public spaces.  In the meantime guests can still enjoy the Marriott's 15-story atrium filled with dining, retail and an indoor ice skating rink. The Marriott's 20,000+ square feet of meeting space ranges from 12 small meeting rooms to the 8,000+ square foot Plaza Ballroom.
