This would be fantastic but don't hold your breath or don't contact your travel agent just yet. The parent company of Crystal is the Genting...
I also heard that they closed marine stadium to all boat traffic, even though the show only uses up a small fraction of the area. Moreover, they...
There is simply no way you can keep a genset at 50% load all the time... In our case air con pulls about 10kw when they re all running. Add...
Latest I read this afternoon was that one of the two pods was damaged in the storm and they had to limp home on the remaining pod. Burned...
Everybody seems to have an opinion on this... I have heard NL dealers and NL certified mechanics say anything anything from 25% to 60%, or as long...
