Looking for a Frosty Blast to Get Your Family in the Mood for Winter Break?


Check out Chill: A Dazzling Ice Kingdom in a Giant Igloo at the Queen Mary!


With CHILL, the Queen Mary transforms into an ice kingdom — an amazing winter wonderland for the whole family. Made from two million pounds of ice, CHILL takes you on a larger-than-life journey through the classic tale of The Nutcracker. Afterwards, keep the holiday fun going with your choice of Ice Tubing or Ice Skating, plus a Snowman Bouncy three stories high, a Rocking Horse that can seat four, live music, carolers and — of course — Santa Claus. Just be sure to bring your parka and gloves, because it gets downright cold inside the igloo, at 9 degrees!

CNN honors 10 emerging ideas in technology and related fields


These are concepts with big potential to change the world: to make us healthier, to keep us safer on the highways, to protect the coastline during storms, to help our computers think for themselves, to literally reinvent the wheel. Many of these ideas are already gaining traction. Some may never take flight. But all are sparking dialogue among thought leaders in their fields, which is never a bad thing. We believe they’re all worth pondering.
