Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Cruises Celebrate
Stellar Series of Awards
April 10, 2008 - Cruise enthusiasts may praise
the virtues of "sea air," but to many of them, what matters
more is clean air. As more hotels and restaurants worldwide
implement stricter smoking policies in order to promote
healthier air, Celebrity Cruises also is taking action.
Beginning October 1, 2008, guests on Celebrity's ships will
enjoy fresher air as a result of a new policy that disallows
smoking in Celebrity's staterooms or on stateroom verandas.
The policy also will reduce the number of public areas in
which guests can smoke onboard.
"We are proud to be the first premium cruise line to set a
new standard toward creating an environment of cleaner air
on our ships," said Celebrity Cruises President & CEO Dan
Hanrahan. "We pay careful attention to what our guests have
to say, and approximately 90 percent of them have told us
they are non-smokers. By increasing the number of smoke-free
areas onboard while still designating areas for those who
smoke, our aim is to make the onboard experience as pleasant
as possible for all of our guests."
The new policy, created after Celebrity polled past guests,
will result in a cleaner, fresher and healthier environment
on Celebrity's ships. Designated indoor areas where guests
can smoke cigarettes include the port side of one lounge per
ship and a designated slot machine area in each ship's
casino. The new policy also designates outdoor areas where
guests can smoke. These include the port side of the pool
deck and sundecks on each ship, the port side of the Sunset
Bar on Celebrity Century and on Celebrity's Millennium
class of ships, and the port side aft outside of Winter
Garden on Celebrity Galaxy and Celebrity Mercury.
Celebrity's new Solstice class of ships, launching with
Celebrity Solstice late this year, will follow the new
policy beginning with the first sailing. Celebrity
Solstice's Lawn Club and the Sunset Bar at the Lawn Club
will not allow smoking. Violations to Celebrity's smoking
policy may result in a $250 cleaning fee charged to the
guest's onboard account and may also be addressed through
the line's guest conduct policy.
Celebrity currently allows guests to smoke in staterooms, on
stateroom verandas and in a number of indoor and outdoor
public spaces. The exception is Celebrity Xpedition, the
92-person mega-yacht sailing year-round in the Galapagos
Islands, which operates under a stricter policy than the
rest of the fleet, allowing smoking only on the ship's outer
decks, in designated areas. |

New
Government Regulations:
Due to new government regulations requiring cruise lines to
submit final departure manifests at least 60 minutes prior
to sailing, guests are requested to complete
Online Check-in no later than 3 days prior to their
cruise. If you have not completed Online Check-in, you will
be required to complete this process at the pier two hours
prior to the published sailing time.
Please note: All guests must be checked-in and
onboard the ship no later than 90 minutes prior to the
published sailing time or they will not be permitted to
sail. |
