A Beginners Guide to Cruise Gratuities

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – A Beginners Guide to Cruise Gratuities





Understanding cruise gratuities commonly known as tipping can at first sound complicated, especially if it is the first time you have taken a cruise holiday.  Priminarly you can break down cruise tipping into three areas, but you should check with your cruise operator before making a booking what the cruise lines policy is on gratuities.

An All-Inclusive Cruise with some Cruise lines also includes Cruise gratuities therefore any tipping is optional.

Service charges have become increasingly popular on board cruise lines, and in reality these charges are tips that have been incorporated into the daily costs of services on board.  This makes is easier to budget whilst on vacation, and tipping is therefore down to you.

Some Cruise lines have introduced a Non-tipping policy, which means that none of the cruise staff expect to be tipped.  These gratuities have been incorporated into the overall cost of your cruise.

It is important to remember that tipping is not compulsory, but if you feel that you have had exemplary service from a member of staff you can tip accordingly.  On some Cruise ships envelopes are left in the cabin for gratuities, or you can ask the information centre if they supply them.  A good idea is to bring small envelopes with you, write the name of the person the tip is intended for and hand it to them on the day of your departure.

As you will come across many numbers of staff on your Cruise ship it is difficult to know who you should and shouldn’t tip, but in general the staff you will come in contact with on a daily basis are Cabin Steward/Room Service Steward/Dining Room Stewards/Bartenders.  If for instance you have a favourite bar and bar tender/ restaurant staff you can either tip them each time or more practically at the end of your cruise.

Cruise tips are an expression of gratitude for a service that you think has been done well, but under no circumstances feel pressured into tipping.  A good rule of thumb if you wish to budget for tipping whilst on your cruise is between £5/£8 per day.

Shore excursions are another area where tipping can be confusing.  In general the two people that you may wish to tip are the tour guide and the driver.  A well informed and helpful tour guide can be tipped between £2/£4.  The driver on average is tipped between £1/£2.

It is also helpful to inform staff that you have a daily contact with that you prefer to tip at the end of the cruise, therefore saving yourself the embarrassment of an expectant look.

Decide how much, when, and whom you wish to tip and then work accordingly to your daily cruise gratuity budget.  Tipping is on most cruise lines an accepted practice, but make sure you fully understand.

Long gone are the days when you would find the Spa on the lower decks of the ship, now the cruise ship spa has pride of place on the upper decks, often with some of the best views the ship has to offer.  It seems that the spa is becoming an essential part of a cruise holiday, offering an exciting array of treatments for both men and women.

What to pack for a Cruise Holiday

Packing for a cruise holiday is essentially the same as packing for any foreign trip, although the luxury of a cruise means that you don’t have weight restrictions on your luggage, so if you want to take more than you will probably ever need you don’t have to worry about paying excess on your luggage.

Global House Price Downturn Accelerated At End Of 2008 According To The Global Property Guide

Filed under :Eastern Caribbean

Global House Price Downturn Accelerated At End Of 2008 According To The Global Property Guide

It has been a dismal year for house prices, according to the Global Property Guideâ??s latest survey of publicly-available house-price time-series for the year 2008. And seen from a global perspective, the downturn is still accelerating.

The collapse of the worldâ??s housing markets can be seen from three points of view, and unfortunately, all of them reinforce the bad news.

During 2008, the downward price momentum accelerated, as compared to 2007.
Only 2 countries saw positive momentum in 2008 (a slower downward house price movement than last year, or faster upward movement), while 28 countries saw their housing market momentum deteriorating, compared to the previous year. The two countries with a positive momentum were Germany and Switzerland.

During 2008, house prices fell in most countries.

During 2008 only 8 out of 32 countries saw house prices rise, after adjustment for inflation, while 20 countries experienced house price falls.

In contrast, during the year 2007, the downturn was just beginning, and only 6 countries saw house prices fall, while 24 countries saw house prices rise (all figures inflation-adjusted).

Many house-price falls during 2008 were extremely severe. Countries with house price falls of over 10% during 2008 were Latvia (Riga) (37%), Lithuania (Vilnius) (27%), the US (20%), the UK (18%), Iceland (16%), Ireland (12%), and the Ukraine (Kiev) (12%) (all figures inflation-adjusted).

During the final quarter (Q4) of 2008, the downward price momentum significantly accelerated, as compared to Q3, suggesting that the situation is deteriorating.

During 2008â??s final quarter, 9 countries saw house price falls of 5% or more during just that quarter. Price drops of more than 10% during this single quarter occurred in three countries – in Latvia (Riga), which saw price falls of 15%, in Ukraine (Kiev) (13%), and in Hong Kong (15%). Other countries with Q4 house-price falls of 5% and over, included the UAE (8%), Lithuania (7%), Iceland (7%), Singapore (6%), Bulgaria (5%), and the UK (5%) (all figures inflation-adjusted, except UAE).

These price falls were much greater than during the previous quarter, Q3. During that previous quarter, only two countries experienced house-price falls (inflation-adjusted) of 5% or more, and no countries experienced house-price falls of more than 10%.

REGIONAL SURVEY BY GLOBAL PROPERTY GUIDE

Europe has major problems
The Baltic countries of Latvia and Lithuania suffered the hardest price falls both in nominal and real terms. In Riga, Latvia, the average price of standard-type apartments plunged 37% during 2008. Prices have been going down in Latvia since late 2007, after a remarkable increase of about 70% in 2006. The most alarming decline took place in the 4th quarter, when prices declined by 15%, the steepest quarterly drop in real terms in any country. These price falls were triggered by increased interest rates, and by the tightened credit rules which Latvia imposed in 2007.

Average prices of apartments in Vilnius, Lithuania, fell by 27% during 2008. House prices started slowing in mid-2007, and crashed in early 2008.

House prices in the UK plummeted by 18% in 2008. Although mortgage interest rates dropped slightly, to 4.48% in December 2008, the number of loan approvals for house purchases fell 58% in 2008.

There is serious trouble in Iceland (house price fall of 16% during 2008), Ireland (12%), Ukraine (12%), Malta (9%), Portugal (8%), France (8%) Finland (7%), Norway (6%) and in Spain (6%).

North Americaâ??s woes
In the US, the centre of the global financial crisis, in 2008 house prices fell 20% according to the Case-Shiller house price index, which emphasizes urban areas. OFHEO and FHFB figures, which are associated with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans and have somewhat lost credibility, suggest a smaller decline of 6% and 3% respectively, during 2008. The US government recently approved a $ 787 billion economic stimulus package, of which 5 billion will be allocated to rescue the ailing housing market.

Canada has been much less affected than the US.

Pacific heads down
Both Australia and New Zealand saw house price declines during 2008, of 7% and 8% respectively.

Asia no longer insulated
Housing markets in Asia have not been insulated. Singapore, Hong Kong and Philippines recorded house price falls during 2008.

Singaporeâ??s private residential prices dropped 9% during 2008, in sharp contrast to the 26% price increase of experienced during 2007. The developed countriesâ?? economic troubles adversely affected Singaporeâ??s exports, and during 2008, output in the manufacturing sector, particularly of electronics, precision engineering and chemicals, shrank by 10.7%. Singapore was officially in recession in Q3 2008.

Hong Kong has been badly hit by the crisis. House prices were down by an average of 6% in 2008. But during the last quarter, Hong Kong experienced a severe decline in prices of 14%.

In Makati, Philippines, prime 3-bedroom condominium prices fell by 2% during 2008, after an 11% price rise during 2007. Nevertheless construction of high-rise residential buildings continues, with residential condominium stock rising by 7% during 2008, according to Colliers Philippines.

Japan recorded modest Tokyo condominium price rises of 1.2% during 2008. On the other hand, land prices in Japanâ??s six major cities fell by 6% y-o-y to Sep-2008.

In Shanghai, China, house price rises slowed to 5% y-o-y by the end of 2008, after peaking at 30% y-o-y to May 2008. However Shanghai is likely to be somewhat exceptional, and Xinhua News Agency reported house prices declines in 70 major cities during 2008. Shenzhen suffered the hardest fall, with prices down by 18% during 2008

UAE on shaky ground
In Dubai, UAE, despite the bleak global picture, saw surprisingly large dwelling price rises of 41% during 2008. However during the yearâ??s final quarter, prices fell by 8% in nominal terms. This downturn is attributable to strongly tightening lending criteria, an increase in interest rates, multiple layoffs, and alarm among buyers.

Forecast: No recovery in 2009
History suggests that in a crash, housing markets take many years from peak year to full recovery. In view of this and of the pessimistic IMF forecast for the global economy, no real recovery is likely in the global housing markets this year.

The IMF has predicted that the world economy will grow by 0.5% in 2009, the lowest level in 60 years. GDP in advanced economies is expected to decline by 2% during 2009. The United Kingdom and Japan will be hit the hardest. Output in the UK may contract by 2.8%, while Japanâ??s may fall by 2.6%.

Growth in emerging economies is expected to slow to 3.3% in 2009, down from 6.3% in 2008. Developing Asia is forecast to be the least affected, with growth of 5.5%. Chinaâ??s economy is predicted grow by 6.7% in 2009, but this is a substantial decline from 9% growth during 2008.

We cannot be optimistic for five reasons:
â?¢ Valuations still clearly remain stretched in most countries, in terms of price/rent ratios.
â?¢ Economic growth is slowing or negative in many countries, which is negative for housing values.
â?¢ There are no signs that banks are becoming more willing to lend.
â?¢ The unprecedented nature of the financial systemâ??s collapse has greatly added to the difficulties facing the worldâ??s housing markets.
â?¢ Some national governments are experiencing difficulty in refinancing their national debt, putting their currencies under pressure. Currency instability is likely to aggravate housing sector problems in countries where many loans were taken out in a foreign currency.

The positive news is that the US government and several others are acting with vigour, as has the IMF. Nevertheless, there is a long tough road ahead.

Cruise Missile Proliferation in the 1990s (The Washington Papers)

The proliferation of advanced weapons to volatile regions of the world has become a major issue in the post Cold War era. It was thought that no Third World nation could ever pose a technologically-based threat to the great powers by acquiring advanced weaponry. But this has proved to be wrong. The Persian Gulf War changed the worldwide perception of the spread of ballistic missiles to countries like Iraq. Access to a new type of weapon–cruise missiles–poses an even greater threat. With technology that is accessible, affordable, and relatively simple to produce, Third World countries could acquire highly accurate, long-range cruise missile forces to escalate local conflicts and threaten the forces and even the territories of the industrial powers. This book is a warning to policymakers.
