Now we know that these days you can judge the size of a man's ego by the dimensions of his TV screen (and once upon a time it used to be his porsche..sigh..). Hotels too are playing a 'mine is bigger than yours is' game with in-room screens. However P&O's latest superliner, Pacific Pearl, has blown them all out of the weater (so to speak) by annoucing it will feature a giant entertainment screen on its pool deck.
Stretching seven metres wide and four metres high, the state-of-the-art LED 'Big Screen' is a first for the cruise line. Unveiling details of the ship, which will be launched in December this year, Ann Sherry, CEO of Carnival Australia, which operates P&O
Cruises, said Pacific Pearl’s Big Screen would showcase everything from sports events to latest release movies. In another first for the cruise line, Pacific Pearl feature a Swim Up Bar in one of her two pools.
After attending the official opening of Sheraton on the Park's new Conservatory Bar and Terrace The Luxury Travel Bible may well have a new favourite bar in Sydney. Designer Joseph Pang has brought new life and luxury to this iconic bar and the sleek outdoor terrace gives great views over Hyde Park and St. Mary's Cathedral (it's a great location for drinks on balmy nights under the stars). Being respectful of the natural resources in the park outside 'The Great' communal table is made from recycled Timber. We approve. Should you wish to move away from mingling at 'The Great' the intimate 'Concaves' booths offer more privacy (perfect for assignations). TLTB will be very happy to be seen here with a Martini in hand.
