Celebrity House Alarms

A celebrity wanting to buy real estate is not a very easy affair because everybody wants to know the details.

Media cultivated the taste of gossip and news like this usually remains in the front pages of the newspapers for quite a while. Apart from the ordinary people who sigh watching the huge properties surrounded by impenetrable fences from Malibu, Miami, Aspen or Hampton, there are other dangerous watchers. They are ready to break into those celebrities’ houses and take away the most valuable things they find. Almost all famous people had problems with those burglars, kidnappers or even killers. This is why the first thing a celebrity will do after buying a residential property is to instal a high tech alarm system. The security companies provide 24-hour protection for their house and can cover almost every possible incident. They have highly trained people to install their sophisticated security systems and they have ready to go teams or a permanent connection with the local police department to cover all possible emergencies. The life of many stars or successful business men are worth millions and millions of dollars and this makes them presumptive targets for criminals. Investing in a performing security system is a must for every celebrity.

Cheap Celebrity Cruises

A high luxury cruise will cost at least 3000 up to 4000 $ a person for 7 days and will probably include everything, food, bar drinks, soft drink, and so on. But there are and will always be cheap cruises for lower, crisis budgets. If you have a much lower price limit, but would not want to give up the luxury, you should consider a shorter cruise, may be only 4 nights or a cheaper room. This will cut the expenses down to maybe a half from those sums. Unfortunately the Celebrity Cruises are usually for more than 6 nights, but you can always search for the best deals and discounts that travel agencies can offer. For a lower budget one can also pick an interior room, usually, the cheapest, or maybe an ocean view room without balcony, just a little more expensive. The cheapest room on a cruiser (an interior one) is from 70 $ up to 228 $ a person for one night. If you book a room with a higher rank you could have other special deals – discounts for spa treatment,bar drinks, shops.

Anyway one should always remember that a thorough search would eventually pay off the time invested in it when you will find the best deal possible.

Celebrity Cruise Lines

Celebrity Cruise Lines

22 years ago, a Greek group of companies owned by Chandris brothers, Anthony and Dimitri founded Celebrity Cruise Lines. They created this company initially to handle cruise ships to Bermuda. Celebrity cruise lines started with only two cruisers back in 1988, one transferred from Fantasy Cruises, a company of the same Group, and the other a new one, build in Germany. Today this company is no longer part of Chandris group and it owns the youngest fleet sailing today.

Celebrity has classified her ships into four classes. Millennium class has the newest and the best equipped cruise vessels. This class has four ships launched after 2000. Century class comprises two a little older but also modernized ships: Century and Mercury. Expedition class was created for more adventurous travelers and unexplored water seekers. Celebrity Expedition, a much smaller vessel, is the exponent of this class. Finally, Solstice class, the most luxurious one wants to fulfill every dream trying to touch perfection.
The travel press as well as the passengers rates this ships among the best in the world for the modern technology, imposing elegance, fine cuisine, high quality accommodations, and good entertainment.

Celebrity Selling Houses

Celebrity Selling Houses

Buying or selling a celebrity real estate can be a tricky business for everybody involved. A celebrity selling its house will desperately try to keep the business confidential, but this is sometimes almost impossible because they are surrounded by thousands of annoying paparazzi and reporters. The house selling is a news event and causes all sorts of suppositions: the celebrity has lost money, is divorcing, its business is not going well and so on. Brokers do whatever they can to hide their clients’ identity.

If the seller or the buyer finds out the other one is a famous person nothing good can happen. The price of the real estate will go up, or the affair will be revealed to the seller or the buyer’s friends, family or even the media. This happened when Bruce Willis sold his Trump Tower with a 25 % higher price simply because his name. And when we are talking millions of dollars estates, 25 % can be a sum to make even a star have second thoughts about keeping his name private. This strategy does not work for everybody. Shaquille O’Neal or Britney Spears did not manage to sell their properties even though they listed them with all the details, while Donald Trump managed to sell his estate for 100 million $. He managed to get quite a profit from the original 41 million dollar buying price!
