Cruise or a resort this holiday season? Hmmm, well in case you're trying to make a decision, then read on. According to findings from CNN.com seems like your next cruise is going to cost you a little more than you'd expect. Royal Caribbean announced that they're raising the suggested daily tipping amounts for waiters and housekeeping staff.

According to Royal Caribbean a waiter should receive $3.75 per day and for housekeeping $5 per day. Cruises are fun, but don't you hate when you're told what to tip?

Language Mistakes

CNN posted online an article with findings from a new survey from 300 British travelers revealing common and funny mistakes travelers make abroad. The survey was conducted by Owners Direct, a company that advertises vacation properties. The article talked about a traveler in Greece calling an elderly woman a squid mixing up ‘good morning which is ‘kalimera’ with ‘calamari’. Or someone else who asked for her ‘head baked al forno’. ‘Al forno’ means food from the oven. All she wanted was a hair dryer. Many travelers interviewed admitted to having said they wished’ good morning’ instead of ‘good night.’ This survey found that 95% of respondents try to talk to locals in their native language. CNN says the most commonly used vocabulary was ‘hello’, ‘please’, ‘thank you’, ‘goodnight’, ‘where are the toilets?’ and ‘ a bottle of house red, please.’
For no mistakes in your vocabulary, head to Grace Bay Beach on your next vacation. Seven Stars Resort is the place to be for luxurious accommodations and unparalleled service. Head to Seven Stars and live the good life for a little bit.

I Can’t Wait To Go Back To Seven Stars Resort

Wow, what a great, relaxing vacation I just had with my husband. Some much needed time off from the stresses of work and the holidays. Turks and Caicos is magnificent and the Seven Stars Resort even better. Our oceanfront, junior sure was superb, it was spacious with gorgeous views of Grace Bay Beach and the bed was so, so comfortable, I could sleep in it forever. But of course, I got up from time to time to enjoy the salt-water pool on the premises. I spent days just lounging around and soaking up the sun. I wish I can be there. A friend of ours had told us about Seven Stars Hotel in Turks and Caicos, they said they had a great time vacationing here and even showed us pictures. As soon as we saw the ocean views, we knew we were going to be booking a room in this Grace Bay Hotel. All I can say is that our vacation was even better than what I expected. The service at this luxury Seven Stars Resort was unparalleled, the spa was blissful and the memories we made there will last us a lifetime. I can’t wait to go back and make some more. I would definitely recommend this Grace Bay Resort to anyone looking to relax and enjoy the sun. This testimonial is by Lindsey Oakes, Brooklyn, NY.
