THIS WEEK: JOE FIELD MANAGER, HAYS TRAVEL, BOSCOMBE
Q&A
Miami and the Bahamas were dream destinations for Joe Field, who was made to feel like a star on a Norwegian Escape trip combining the best of cruise, shopping and beach holidays
Q. What is it like to win a Cover Stars place? A. I didn’t think I’d have a chance of winning but applied because of the destination – Miami was somewhere I wanted to go and I had never been to Florida or the Bahamas. I was absolutely shocked to get a place; I have never been so excited. It was a dream come true and it’s definitely up there in my top trips. We were treated like royalty.
JOE’S OUTFIT
Joe gets ‘summer ready’ in this smart-casual combo. The shirt and jeans are from Abercrombie & Fitch and the look is completed with handstitched suede shoes from elegant men’s luxury boutique Aziari located at The Falls. Joe’s look was created at The Falls, A
Simon Shopping property. Featuring over 100 stores, including Bloomingdales, The Falls is a unique shopping experience where guests can stroll around the open- air shopping, dining and entertainment locations while surrounded by a million-gallon waterscape and lush tropical foliage.
Q. How was your Virgin Atlantic flight? A. I had a really good experience of Virgin Atlantic economy and on the way back was upgraded to premium economy. This has more leg room and a better cabin experience; you get a drink before take-off. I would recommend premium economy to customers because of the extra comfort and enhanced food menu.
Q. What was the trip’s real wow factor? A. The Eden Roc hotel was an absolute ‘wow’ as soon as I walked into reception. It even had an amazing smell! I’ve already sent clients there. I loved the art deco vibe of Miami mixed with a modern style. There’s a fantastic pool and beach area and children’s animation stand with toys. I’d book the Eden Roc for my holiday; it’s only 15-20 minutes from South Beach.
Q. Have you had a makeover before? A. It was the first time I’d done anything like that. I was over the moon with my outfit: I got the most gorgeous blue suede shoes. I daren’t wear them now; they’re in the wardrobe and I keep looking at them. I was quite nervous on the day, but we were made to feel like stars. I felt like the bees-knees and they took my photo on deck of Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Escape. I was made to feel so special.
