Celebrity, Latest News, New Ships
The word “silhouette” conjures up images of light and shadow, and sleek profiles in the world of design and fashion, so it’s fitting that Celebrity Cruises has named the fourth ship in its stylish Solstice Class fleet Celebrity Silhouette.
Like its widely acclaimed sister ships – Celebrity Solstice, which was named “Best Premium Ship” and “Best Rookie Ship” in Travel Weekly’s annual awards gala just last week; Celebrity Equinox, which set sail in July 2009; and Celebrity Eclipse, which will enter service in April 2010 – the 122,000-ton Celebrity Silhouette will offer the series of brand-defining, industry-first attributes that guests, travel agents and press have praised about Celebrity Solstice and Celebrity Equinox, including a half-acre Lawn Club with real grass, a glassblowing show and studio developed with The Corning Museum of Glass, unrivaled dining venues offering trendsetting cuisine and design, and widely varied entertainment. Like its sisters, the 2,850-guest Celebrity Silhouette will have larger staterooms – 90 percent outside, and 85 percent with verandas – and spacious bathrooms, as well as several categories of accommodations, including Celebrity’s ConciergeClass and spa-inspired AquaClass staterooms.

November 10, 2008... Celebrity Cruises welcomed the Celebrity Solstice in Florida Monday as the ship begins its U.S. debut.

The ship includes the industry's first half-acre Lawn Club with real grass and Hot Glass Show with live glassblowing demonstrations; 10 varied restaurants; entertainment designed for the ship's state-of-the-art theater, and a breadth of accommodations, including an entirely new category, AquaClass. Amidst a series of preview cruises for invited travel agents, press and other dignitaries, Celebrity Solstice will be named in formal ceremonies November 14, and will enter service November 23 on a series of seven-night Eastern Caribbean sailings.

Celebrity, Itineraries, Latest News
September 23, 2008... Celebrity Cruise is discontinuing its Australia and New Zealand cruises scheduled for late 2009 and 2010 on Celebrity Millennium, and adding new itineraries for the ship and Celebrity Mercury from Baltimore and Charleston.
"Australia and New Zealand are charming and beautiful destinations, and we’re confident we’ll return again as our brand and fleet grows," said Celebrity’s President and CEO Dan Hanrahan. "Currently, though, our travel agent partners and guests have repeatedly said they want more options to sail with Celebrity from the Eastern seaboard, where our brand was founded, and still has a very large and loyal base of cruisers."
Celebrity Mercury, from November 2009 to February 2010, will sail a series of 12-night Eastern Caribbean cruises from Baltimore. After, it will offer 10- and 11-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries from Charleston through April 2010. The new Celebrity Mercury itineraries replace the Southern Caribbean cruises from San Juan previously slated from November 2009 to April 2010.

Celebrity Cruises Revamps Smoking Policy

Celebrity, Latest News, Way To Go!
May 22, 2008 .... 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.”
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.
The new policy will go into effect on Celebrity’s fleet on the first day of the first sailing to follow October 1:- Celebrity Galaxy, Celebrity Infinity, Celebrity Mercury – October 3 sailings
- Celebrity Summit – October 4 sailing
- Celebrity Constellatiion – October 5 sailing
- Celebrity Century, Celebrity Millennium – October 6 sailings
- Celebrity Solstice,Celebrity Equinox –- upon ship launch
Celebrity Solstice, Celebrity Equinox – upon ship launch 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.

May 1, 2008....
Azamara, Celebrity and Royal Caribbean have revised their Infant Policy and Pregnancy Policy as follows:
Infants sailing on a cruise must be at least 6 months old as of the first day of the cruise/ cruisetour. However, for Transatlantic, Transpacific, Hawaii, select South American cruises/ cruisetours and other selected cruises/ cruisetours, the infant (as of the first day of the cruise/ cruisetour) must be at least 12 months old.
Also, these cruise lines have announced that they cannot accept guests who will have entered their 24th week of pregnancy by the beginning of, or at any time during, the cruise or cruisetour. A physician's "Fit to Travel" note is required prior to sailing, stating how far along (in weeks) the guest's pregnancy will be at the beginning of the cruise and confirming that the guest is in good health and not experiencing a high-risk pregnancy.

Bermuda, Celebrity, Fuel Supplements, Latest News, Royal Caribbean
March 11, 2008....
Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines and Celebrity Cruises have agreed to refund $21 million to consumers who were charged a fuel surcharge after booking a cruise, the Florida Attorney General's Office said. The refunds apply to guests who booked their cruise before the Nov. 16 implementation of the supplement.
"Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises are the first cruise lines to step forward and take actions to resolve this matter in their customers' best interest," Attorney General Bill McCollum said in a news release. "This resolution will serve as a model for the rest of the cruise line industry and I expect the other companies to take this example and follow suit."
Under the agreements, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity will refund to all customers who were retroactively charged a fuel supplement charge the full cost of the surcharge, and consumers who have not yet sailed will receive their refund as an onboard credit. In the future, the cruise lines must also ensure clear and conspicuous disclosure of any fuel supplement charges at the time the reservations are made, as well as in their advertisements.
The time table for refunds has not yet been announced. It is expected that other cruise lines will follow, but none have yet announced their intentions.
