13 FEB 2012: This Valentine’s Day, Norwegian Cruise Line is celebrating romance at sea by surprising a very special couple, Erin Picard and Todd O’Neil of Peabody, Mass., who fell in love on board Norwegian Spirit in 2010, with a dream honeymoon following their wedding this summer.
13 FEB 2012: Sixteen male passengers were tossed off P&O Cruises Australia's Pacific Dawn following a brawl last week that had to be broken up by the ship's security staff.
13 FEB 2012: A cruiseship operator says it is calling off two scheduled port calls in Bahrain because of worries over escalating unrest linked to the anniversary of the Shiite-led uprising in the Gulf kingdom.
13 FEB 2012: There was only one thing missing from the Delta Air Lines, Air France, KLM and Alitalia celebration to inaugurate their new joint offices in downtown Toronto last week - a rousing rendition of Sister Sledge’s 1979 hit, “We are Family” by the airline executives present. It would be appropriate since Sister Sledge comprised of four loving sisters and you now have four airlines who have become one happy joint venture family.
13 FEB 2012: On Friday 13 January the Costa Concordia ran aground in a tragic accident which still has 15 people missing. Almost exactly a month later on Sunday Feb 12, underwater pumping operations began to remove some of the 500,000 gallons of fuel aboard the tragic cruise liner.

14 FEB 2012: How do I say this without sounding sour? I think that Valentine’s Day makes hotels act a little irresponsible. Offering “Love” packages with chocolate covered strawberries? That just encourages people to eat in the bedroom. It’s reckless. Some hotels offer half bottles of champagne. Is it just me or is that an implication that the champagne bottle is half empty?
14 FEB 2012: Sometimes what you find in your own backyard can be a complete surprise. Over the decades I’ve visited Hockley Valley Resort, about 75 minutes northwest of Toronto, a number of times to golf and occasionally dine. I thought I knew the place – a pleasant enough rural retreat but nothing to go gaga over. A return visit this week left me gobsmacked.
14 FEB 2012: I admit I don’t get it. This edifice height thing. Taller. Longer. Big. Bigger. Biggest. High. Higher. Highest. Dubai of course has it in spades. Now, it is building its second JW Marriott luxury hotel which will be the world's tallest hotel-only building when it opens in the fourth quarter of 2012.
14 FEB 2012: Qantas Airways has downplayed a steering issue that forced two departures of an Airbus A380 to be abandoned prior to taking off from London's Heathrow Airport. The problem said the airline was unrelated to wing cracks that have necessitated global checks on the superjumbo.
