Ngicabanga ukuthi umyalezo ubuthi… uma uthanda Ukunethezeka lolu ulayini wakho wokuvakasha.
I-Faberge Brand Iyacasula
I-House of Faberge inengxabano. Ngo-1885 igama lomkhiqizo lalinganiswa kokubili ukunethezeka kanye namahlazo. Nakuba iningi labantu baseRussia lalizabalaza ukondla izingane zalo, umndeni wasebukhosini wawuphila ngokunethezeka, nokuphiwa kwamaqanda kwaba yinto yaminyaka yonke. Unyaka ngamunye i-tsar inika i-House of Faberge umsebenzi wokuklama izinto ezintsha okufanele zibe zinhle futhi zidlale. Ngo-1898 wanikeza iqanda elilodwa leLily of the Valley kumkakhe, uMpress Alexandra Fyodorovna, kanti elinye kunina njengezipho zePhasika. Inani lamanje leqanda ngalinye lingama-US $13 wezigidi.
Imihlobiso ekhazimulayo yayifanekisela indlela ama-Romanovs ayengathinteki futhi anganaki ngayo emashumini awo eminyaka okugcina amandla. U-Tsarina u-Alexandra ongathandwayo wenqaba ukuqomisa umphakathi waseRussia futhi wachazela ugogo wakhe, iNdlovukazi uVictoria, ukuthi kwakungadingeki “ukuthola uthando lwabantu” ngoba umkhaya wasebukhosini wawungabantu baphezulu kakade.
Ngo-2004, usozigidi waseRussia uViktor Vekselberg, wabeka iqoqo lakhe elikhulu lamaqanda eFaberge Museum eSt. Petersburg, eRussia. I-Vekselberg inobudlelwano obuseduze ne-Kremlin futhi yathinteka ophenyweni lokugxambukela kokhetho okhethweni lukamongameli lwase-USA lwango-2016.
U-Oligarch, u-Alexander Ivanov, wakha i-Faberge Museum eJalimane eyahlaselwa abomthetho baseBrithani ngesonto ngaphambi kokuba uVladimir Putin anikeze isipho se-Rothschild Egg. I-Hermitage. Abaphenyi bathi imnyuziyamu yehlulekile ukukhokha intela ezintweni ezithengwe eminyakeni eyi-15 edlule eLondon. U-Ivanov uboleke ingxenye yeqoqo eHermitage ukuze abeke embukisweni (2021). Kodwa-ke, kwabikwa ukuthi umdayisi wezobuciko waseLondon wathintana neHermitage ebagxeka ngombukiso wamaqanda njengoba amaphesenti angu-40 ezinto zobuciko ayengamanga.
Iyini i-Luxury? Bese/Manje
Esichazamazwini se-Merriam-Webster, ukunethezeka kufaniswa nenkanuko, okusuka egameni lesiLatini elithi LUXURIA elisho ukweqisa. NgeNkathi ka-Elizabethan (1558-1603), ukunethezeka kwakuhlotshaniswa nokuphinga futhi kwaguqulwa kwaba indlela yokuphila egxile ekucebeni nasekukhazimuleni. Ukunethezeka kwakudinga imali kanye nenqwaba yayo. Ukunethezeka kudinga ukuzibandakanya kwazo zonke izinzwa - ezibonakalayo, ezizwakalayo nezithintayo kanye nezokuhogela. Amazwe ambalwa ahola indawo kanokusho ngemikhiqizo yaseJalimane ekleliswe phezulu ngekhwalithi (i-Statista), kuyilapho i-Italy ithathwa njengenamandla ekwakhiweni kweSwitzerland yaziwa ngayo yonke imikhiqizo nezinsizakalo zikanokusho.
Namuhla ukugxila kokunethezeka kuvame ukuhlotshaniswa nalokho imali engenakuthengwa njengenkululeko.
Ucwaningo olwenziwa eNyuvesi yaseCornell lusikisela ukuthi ukunethezeka okwamanje kulinganiswa nokuhlangenwe nakho kunezinto ezibonakalayo. Abathengi babonakala bencamela ukunethezeka okufinyeleleka kalula esikhundleni sokusebenzisa obala, bekhetha isevisi yamakhasimende enhle kakhulu ehlanganiswe nokuzijabulisa kuyilapho abathengi abacebile beqhubeka nokwazisa ukuthunyelwa kwamahhala kanye nabathengi bomuntu siqu; kodwa-ke, ukugxila okusha kakhulu kubuchwepheshe kanye nomklamo wesimanje.
Abathengi beMillennials kanye neGen Z babalelwa kumaphesenti angama-30 okuthengiswa okunethezeka komhlaba wonke okulindeleke ukuthi kwenyuke kuye kumaphesenti angama-45 ngo-2015 (Bain & Company). Lezi zingxenye zemakethe zibheka ubunikazi njengobukhulu (cabanga nge-Netflix, i-Uber, kanye ne-Rent a Runway). Ubuqotho cishe buzodalwa lapho inkumbulo yesikhathi sokuthenga idlulela ngale kokutholwa.
Ukusetshenziswa okugqamayo (Thorsten Veblen, 1899, Theory of the Leisure Class) kwehla ngokukaSolwazi Elizabeth Currid -Halkett, (Isamba Sezinto Ezincane: A Theory of the Aspirational Class) ngoba imikhiqizo eminingi yabathengi isitholakala kabanzi wonke amakilasi, ngenxa yokuhwebelana kwembulunga yonke kanye nentuthuko kwezobuchwepheshe. Ukusetshenziswa okugqamile kuthathelwe indawo ukuqwashisa okusha, kwezenhlalo, kwezemvelo, namasiko. Ngokuqaphela lolu shintsho, imikhiqizo kanokusho manje ixhumanisa isithombe sabo semfashini nokuzibophezela kwabo ezintweni ezivuselelekayo nasekusetshenzisweni kabusha, bebonisa osaziwayo abagqoke izivatho ezisimeme kanye nabaphathi abaxube no-A-listers emicimbini ekhuthaza ukuqwashisa ngemvelo nezenhlalo.
Ngenxa yoshintsho ekubonweni kokunethezeka, kuyamangaza ukuthi i-NCL ifinyelele ukuma komkhiqizo wayo kwaba okunethezeka futhi u-Faberge enze ubudlelwano obusha kube isu lokumaketha elingabazisayo.
I-Regent Seven Seas Egg Objet kanye ne-Faberge Alliance
I-Seven Seas Grandeur (ukuthengiswa kwezintombi ngoNovemba 2023) ngokubambisana ne-Faberge, ichaze indawo yabo yokunethezeka ukuze ifake iqoqo lobuciko elisha lomkhumbi. I-Journey in Jewels izoba neqanda lika-Faberge kanye nokuboniswa kwezithombe zika-Picasso, uMiro no-Chagall kuwo wonke umkhumbi. Umkhumbi ucatshangelwe kabusha ngekusasa futhi ubonisa i-Heritage of Perfection yomzila wasolwandle, unikeza izihambeli “okuhlangenwe nakho okushintshayo” kanye “nesevisi engenakuqhathaniswa.”
Itimu yokunethezeka izoba yisipiliyoni ngohambo lwasolwandle olubili oluhlukile. Uhambo lokuqala olukhethekile luzosingathwa uMqondisi Wezokunakekelwa kwe-Faberge uDkt. Gez von Habsburg (Juni 2023) ngohlelo oluqala e-Southampton, e-England futhi luqhubeke luye e-Stockholm, e-Sweden ngokuhlola amaqoqo e-Faberge e-Denmark, e-Norway nase-Sweden. Ngo-2024, uSara Faberge, umzukulu kaPeter Carl Faberge kanye nelungu elisungule loMkhandlu Wamagugu we-Faberge uzobamba uhambo lwesibili.
Akuyona Yonke I-Cruising Exhunywe Nokunethezeka
Kunesikhathi lapho ukuhamba ngomkhumbi kwakuvalelwe ngokuphephile endaweni “yendabuko” yokunethezeka. Izinceku zapakisha ama-steamer trunks, zawaletha kuma-suites emkhunjini ngenkathi abagibeli abacebile bephuza i-champagne eduze nomzila wesitimela njengoba belinde ukuya eYurophu. Yebo, kwakukhona enye indlela yokuhamba ngomkhumbi ukuya eYurophu, ukufaka amalahle ngefosholo kubhayela; namuhla inketho iwukuba ilungu leqembu.
Imali: Ikilasi Nokufinyelela
Ukuhamba ngomkhumbi ekhulwini lama-21 kuhlukanisiwe, futhi abagibeli bangakhetha uhambo lolwandle olujwayelekile, oluphambili nolunethezekile kanye nezindawo eziphakeme kakhulu emikhunjini yokuvakasha evamile - konke kususelwa enanini. Imikhumbi ye-cruise ingaba mikhulu ngendlela emangalisayo. Cishe amathani abhalisiwe angu-237,000, i-Wonder of the Seas yaseRoyal Caribbean ithwala abagibeli abangafika ku-6,988 kanye nabasebenzi abangu-2,300. Imikhumbi yokuhamba ngezinyawo ingaba ngaphezu kwezinkundla zebhola ezintathu ubude, futhi ifaka, ngaphezu kwamagumbi amahle, amachibi okubhukuda, amaslayidi amanzi, izindawo zokushwiba eqhweni, izinkundla zebasketball, imigqa ye-zip, izinkulungwane zezitshalo ezibukhoma, inqwaba yamabha nezindawo zokudlela, izikhungo zokuzijabulisa ezibukhoma. , inqwaba yamathuba okuthenga, namaqoqo obuciko obuhle.
I-MSC Cruises inesisindo esingamathani ayi-215,863 futhi iwumkhumbi omkhulukazi olandela isigaba se-Royal Caribbean International's Oasis kanye nomkhumbi wokuqala wama-MSC ophehliswe i-LNG kanye nomkhumbi wokuqala omkhulu wokuhamba ngomkhumbi ofakwe ubuchwepheshe bamaseli kaphethiloli. I-MSC World Europa ikala amamitha ayi-1,094 ubude futhi inamadekhi angama-20 aphethe amagumbi abagibeli angama-2626 okuyinikeza umthamo wabagibeli abangu-6,762 nabasebenzi abangu-2,138.
Imigqa ye-Premium cruise: Imakethe eqondiwe? Abahambi abavuthiwe abanamakhanda emindenini. Umkhathi ezindaweni ezithule noma ezindaweni zabantu abadala kuphela ungase ube nokuzola kanye nethuba lezindawo ezivulekile; amakhabethe ahlanganisa izinketho zangaphakathi nangaphandle; lapho imali yokugibela iphansi, makhulu amathuba okuba ungabuki futhi ungafinyeleli emoyeni omusha. Nakuba ukudla kungase kube kuhle, abagibeli bakhokhela iziphuzo.
Ukuhamba ngomkhumbi okujwayelekile kuvame ukuba semikhumbi emikhulu futhi kuvame ukuya khona ngokwazo.
Amaholide omndeni abusa lesi sikhala futhi imali yokugibela ingase ibe nengqondo; kodwa-ke, zilungiselele ezinye izinkokhelo eziposwe ku-akhawunti yakho nganoma yini ephawulwe ngokuthi "engeziwe." Lokhu ukuhamba ngomugqa ohlanganisa ukudla okukhiqiziwe, ngaphandle kwalapho ukhokha “okwengeziwe” ezindaweni zokudlela zesiginesha lapho kugxilwe khona KU-FUN esikhundleni sokudlela okumnandi.
Cruise Ngaphakathi Komkhumbi
Ngawo-1970, kwakukhona ikilasi elilodwa kuphela lokuhamba ngomkhumbi. Manje izinketho zingabandakanya isigaba sesigaba se-premium emkhunjini ojwayelekile, okusebenzayo umkhumbi ongaphakathi komkhumbi onikeza "abanye" noma "abanye" noma "isigaba esiphezulu/abacebile" ithuba lokubalekela izixuku nolayini, okuhlinzeka ngendawo, indawo yokudlela ethule nendawo yangasese.
Uhambo lomkhumbi oluwubukhazikhazi (cabanga amahhotela/izindawo zokungcebeleka zezinkanyezi ezi-5) luthwala izivakashi ezingaba yi-100. Isilinganiso esiphansi sabagibeli nezisebenzi sisho ukuthi isevisi kungenzeka inake. Ngisho namakhabethe esigaba esiphansi angase abe banzi anezindlu zangasese ezisezingeni eliphezulu, iziphuzo nezinye izinkonzo ezifakwe entengo. Ukudla kungenzeka kube kuhle njengendawo yokungcebeleka kanokusho futhi kuzoba lula ukugibela/ukwehla emkhunjini. Ochwepheshe kungenzeka baqondise amaqembu ezintweni ezikhangayo emisebenzini engaphandle kwebhodi.
Inani noma Okudlulele
Ingabe inani elikhokhelwe uhambo “lokunethezeka” liwufanele ukheshi? U-Ralph Girzzle (cruiseline.com) uthola ukuthi imali eyengeziwe ngaphambili inikeza indawo yokuhlala engcono, izinsiza ezengeziwe, uhambo “lwamahhala” ogwini, kanye namathuba okudla neziphuzo angabiza kakhulu uma kuthengwa i-la carte. Izindleko zikanokusho zibiza ngokuphindwe kahlanu (5) kunezintengo ezijwayelekile zokuhamba ngomkhumbi. Lizobiza malini? I-TripAdvisor ithola ukuthi izindleko zizosuka ku-$300 - $600 umuntu ngamunye ngobusuku, kanye nama-$50 - $100 (ukheshi) wamathiphu, amatekisi, ama-trinkets okuvakasha ogwini, njll.
Kuphephile ku-Cruise? Mhlawumbe
Ukufunda ukuthi abantu abangu-800+ Covid 19 bebesemkhunjini ohamba ngezikebhe omiswe eSydney, e-Australia kufanele kube uphawu olukhulu lwe-CAUTION. Lesi yisikhumbuzo esibi sokuthi lolu bhubhane lusekude ukuphela futhi ukuhamba ngomkhumbi kuveza ingozi ecacile nekhona manje.
UDkt Brian Labus, MPH, uprofesa osizayo eNyuvesi yaseNevada, eLas Vegas, uphakamisa ukwenza ukuhlaziywa kwengozi / umvuzo: Ingabe impilo yakho ibalulekile? Ingabe ukugula kungase kube nomthelela omubi endleleni yakho yokuphila? Ingabe umshwalense wakho wezempilo ukhokhela imicimbi yezokwelapha ngaphandle kwase-USA?
Lapho abantu abaningi babelana ngendawo efanayo (okungukuthi, umkhumbi wokuhamba), kuba nezingozi zokuqubuka kokugula. Imikhumbi ye-Cruise inikeza indawo enabantu abaningi kakhulu edala izindawo ezikahle zokuthi abantu abaningi bagule ngesikhathi esifushane. Uma uhambo lwakho lwesikebhe esiphusheni lukubeka phakathi nolwandle, amamayela kude nendawo yokunakekelwa kwempilo nezibhedlela izinsuku ezimbalwa, futhi ugula kakhulu, uzokwenzani?
Imigqa eminingi yokuhamba ngomkhumbi iyekile ukugoma kanye/noma izimfuno zokuhlola; nokho, abaningi bayaqhubeka nokuba nemithethonqubo yokuphepha. Imigqa yokuqapha ethile iyahlukahluka ngomkhumbi ngamunye futhi iwebhusayithi yenkampani kufanele ibuyekezwe ukuze kunqunywe izimiso kanye nendawo yakho yokunethezeka ekulandeleni izinqubo.
Ngaphambi Kokuhamba
Ngaphambi kokuya esikhumulweni semikhumbi, nangaphambi kokugibela umkhumbi ohamba ngezikebhe, kuyatuseka ukuthi unciphise ukuchayeka komuntu siqu kubantu abangaphandle komuzi wakho, gqoka imaski ezindaweni eziminyene, zijwayeze inhlanzeko yezandla futhi uhlole ngokushesha. Yize izithombe ziphakamisa ukuthi kunendawo eningi yokuncishiswa komphakathi ebhodini, lezi zithombe zingadukisa; kodwa-ke, “ukuqwashisa” komuntu kuyenzeka, okuhlanganisa ukuhlanza zonke izingxenye zekhabethe ngezisuli ezilwa namagciwane, ukusebenzisa izibulali-magciwane zezandla, ukugqoka imaski, nokuchitha isikhathi esiningi ngangokunokwenzeka ngaphandle kumadekhi noma kuvulandi wakho.
Uma kukhona ukuqubuka ebhodini, lalela iziqondiso zabasebenzi. Uma wenze umsebenzi wakho wesikole wasekhaya, uhlole ne-ejenti yakho yezokuvakasha kanye newebhusayithi yemikhumbi yomkhumbi, futhi uyayazi izinqubo ezisungulwe ochwepheshe bezokwelapha - ngakho uzokwazi ukuthi yini okufanele uyenze. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uma upakishe ezihlakaniphile, unamakhithi okuhlola i-Covid emthwalweni wakho ongawasebenzisa ukunquma ukuthi uguliswa yini yi-Covid noma enye into. Ungazami ukufihla ukugula kwakho. Yazisa ithimba lezokwelapha lomkhumbi ukuthi uhlangabezana nani futhi ulandele izincomo zabo.
Cabangisisa
Ngaphambi kokukhipha ikhadi lesikweletu ukuze ukhokhele uhambo, khumbula:
1. Imikhumbi ye-cruise ingaba nomsindo. Imikhumbi emikhulu ijwayele ukuba nabantu abangaphezu kuka-3,000.
2. Ulwandle luyagula. Kwabanye abahambi, ukungaphatheki kahle kuhlanganisa isicanucanu, ubuhlungu bekhanda, ukuhlanza, isiyezi, ukuphelelwa umoya, kanye/noma ukozela. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kukhona ithuba le-Covid 19, i-norovirus, njll.
3. Ilanga eliningi kakhulu. Ukulala emphemeni noma ogwini lolwandle, ilanga eliningi kwandisa ingozi yomdlavuza, ukushisa kohlangothi, ulwelwesi lwamehlo, isiyezi, ukukhathala kanye namabhamuza/ukusha esikhunjeni. Ukuphuza utshwala ogwini kwandisa ukulimala kwelanga esikhumbeni.
4. Ubuthi bokudla. Ukudla kakhulu futhi kaningi, kungabangela ukuhlanza, ubuhlungu besisu, amajaqamba esiswini, isiyezi kanye nobuthakathaka bemisipha. I-medical aid egibeleni ilinganiselwe kakhulu. E-Royal Caribbean's Ovation of the Seas, abagibeli abangu-195 bahlanza futhi bahuda ngemva kokudla i-buffet kakhulu (aba-5 babedinga ukulaliswa esibhedlela).
5. Ukudla okungenampilo. Kusukela kuma-burger nama-fries kuya kuma-donuts, amakhekhe nama-buffet, kunesilingo sokudla ngokweqile. Imigoqo evulekile nokuzijabulisa okuningi kungadala umonakalo epheshaneni le-GI.
6. Ukushayisana. Imikhumbi iyacwila (cabanga ukuthi i-Costa Concordia icwila ogwini lwaseTuscany, e-Italy), futhi imikhumbi ye-cruise cruise 16 yacwila phakathi kuka-1980 no-2012. Ngisho noma umkhumbi ungacwili, noma yikuphi ukungqubuzana kungase kubangele ukulimala.
7. Izimbungulu zombhede. Bagibela imithwalo kanye nefenisha ngaphakathi benza ama-cruise cabin abe indawo ekahle yokuhlala. Imikhumbi eminyene iyizindawo ezikahle zokuthi izimbungulu zidluliselwe komunye umgibeli ziye komunye.
8. Ubugebengu. Amacala asukela ekuhlaselweni okulimaza kabi emzimbeni, ukudubula noma ukuhlukumeza umkhumbi kuya ekubulaleni, ukuthumba, kanye nezakhamuzi zase-US ezilahlekile, kanye nokuhlukumeza ngokocansi, ukufa okusolisayo, kanye nokwebiwa kuka-$10,000. Amalungu etilosi ayaziwa ngokwenza ubugebengu kubagibeli.
9. Ubhajwe. Imikhumbi ehamba ngomkhumbi yaziwa ngokulahlekelwa ugesi noma isimo somoya, okwenza ukuphila emkhunjini kungakhululeki futhi kube yingozi. Ohambweni lwe-Carnival Triumph amandla aphela izinsuku ezine (4) ngabagibeli nabasebenzi abangaphezu kuka-4,000 abangenawo a/c, ukukhanya, amanzi, ukudla, noma izindlu zangasese ezisebenzayo ngaphambi kokuba idonselwe ku-Mobile, Alabama.
10. Imikhumbi ayikulindile. Indiza ibambezelekile? Ugijima sekwephuzile ekugibeleni? Umkhumbi ngeke ulinde ukufika kwakho. Ulahlekelwe isikhathi emachwebeni ahlukene? Umkhumbi uhamba nazo zonke izinto zakho futhi lokhu kungaba inhlekelele njengoba kufanele wenze indlela yakho yokubuyela ekhaya noma echwebeni elilandelayo ukuze ubuyele emkhunjini.
Uyahamba?
Uma unquma ukuthi ingozi iwufanele umvuzo, ungasuki ekhaya ungenawo umshwalense wokuhamba ophelele ukuze uhlanganise yonke into kusukela ekuguleni nasezingozini kuya ezikhathini zokuhamba ezingekho kanye nokubhukha kwendiza. Hlola izinkokhiso zedatha yocingo/ye-inthanethi futhi uqiniseke ukuthi izimali zakho zifaka phakathi ukuxhumana kwangaphakathi (ngamanani aphansi). Ungabi ngowokuqala kulayini webhafa (nsuku zonke), futhi sebenzisa izitebhisi kaningi kunamakheshi (aminyene futhi ahamba kancane). Ungalahli noma ulahle ikhadi lakho le-ID futhi ungapakishi ngokweqile. Letha izibulali magciwane eziningi nezandla, kanye nemithi oyinqunyelwe kanye nezidakamizwa ze-OTC.
