La célébrité Indroduces un nouveau code de robe et confond des drogués d'information de croisière
D'abord, j'ai dois admettre que je suis « un drogué de l'information de croisière ». Pour moi, moitié de l'amusement de la prendre à une planification de croisière. Je recueille l'information à d'autres croiseurs sur les panneaux de message basés par Web, lis des magazines de voyage, et des guides d'achat pour les ports que je visiterai.
Au-dessus des semaines de derniers l'information s'était écoulée goutte à goutte dehors au sujet de la célébrité éliminant leurs « nuits sans cérémonie » et les remplaçant avec ce qu'ils appellent « occasionnel ou meilleur futé ». Cependant, en raison de ce que je pourrais seulement penser est des communications de corporation internes très pauvres, l'information s'écoulant goutte à goutte dehors et/ou venir directement de la célébrité a été très embrouillant. Pour ceux de nous qui sont des drogués de l'information de croisière, bien, nous avions pratiquement tiré nos cheveux.
J'ai remonté une peu de ligne de temps pour illustrer la situation :
- 13 juin : Poteaux d'un membre de critique de croisière sur leur conseil que sa croisière de célébrité ne documente des nuits occasionnelles et formelles de liste mais aucun sans cérémonie. (La discussion houleuse par A suit sur le critique de croisière)
- 16 juin : Fatigué de toute discussion sans la confirmation l'une ou l'autre manière, j'appelle les capitaines de la célébrité club et le représentant confirme que sans cérémonie sera remplacé avec occasionnel futé. Aucun autre détail donné.
- 2 juillet : La célébrité présente l'information sur les nouveaux perfectionnements de nourriture et de boisson à un groupe choisi de membres de club de capitaines d'élite. La présentation de Powerpoint est signalée par un amoureux de célébrité sur l'emplacement Ligne ventilateurs de croisière. L'information indique qu'ils avaient pris la décision pour éliminer sans cérémonie, parce que tandis qu'environ 80% de passagers s'habillaient vers le haut pendant des nuits formelles, seulement environ 30% étaient robe selon des directives des nuits sans cérémonie. La présentation indique spécifiquement qu'ils souhaitent « établissez « un occasionnel futé plus bien défini et au-dessus » de la norme occasionnelle de robe comme code régnant de robe de soirée. » En outre ils souhaitent «
fournissez des directives plus claires d'application de code de robe et les soutenez pour la gestion de bord du navire.” The Powerpoint presentation provides information as to what the new dress code will be on “Smart Casual and Above” nights.
LADIES: Skirt or pants complemented by sweater or blouse.
GENTLEMEN: Pants (no holes, rips or tears) with sports shirt or sweater. Shirt must have a collar and sleeves.
Note: T-shirts, swimsuits, tank tops, baseball caps and poolware are not allowed in the main restaurant at any time. Shorts and flip flops are not allowed in the evening hours. - July 8th: The new dress code is added to the Celebrity Web Site for sailings after August 1st 2008, with one major change, the word “Jeans” is added to the above dress code as acceptable attire for gentlemen. (Heated debate ensues on all cruise message boards about whether or not Jeans are appropriate attire for a formal dining room even on a “Smart Casual” night.) The addition of the word jeans to the list of appropriate attire is significant because Celebrity has never permitted them officially in the main dining room at any time. Several loyal Celebrity Cruisers feel that this was a mistake on the part of the web master and that the word “Jeans” was added in error. Several of us cruise info junkies write Celebrity in order to obtain clarification.
- July 14th: A Cruise Critic member receives the following response to her question about the inclusion of the word “jeans” possibly being in error:
With the increase in e-mails received regarding this same issue we have pursued further information from our administrative team to clarify this issue and to advise if the information provided on Celebrity’s website is simply a misprint or if, in fact, we are now allowing “jeans” in the main dining room. This considering the update for this policy was brought on by guests not abiding by the dress code in the main dining hall where “no jeans are allowed.
At this time we do not have a clear and definitive answer for you, but can assure you that we are looking into this issue so that we may advise of the correct information and avoid any incorrect information from being passed around.
As soon as an answer has been received I will email you to let you know the correct information.”
- July 16th: I finally receive a response to my original E-mail regarding the new dress code. It states that jeans will be discouraged but that no diners will be denied entrance to the dining room while wearing jeans. Several of my fellow cruise junkies on Cruise Line Fans receive the same e-mail However, at the same time, the word “Jeans” is removed from the Celebrity Web page dress code. (Debate ensues about weather or not jeans are “pants”.)
- July 18th. A Cruise Critic host recieves the “final word?” from Celebrity regarding the new dress code. It specifically states “No Jeans”. Here is what Celebrity sent to Cruise Critic:
We apologize for the miscommunication about our new dress code, and are grateful to the members of CruiseCritic who have inquired about it. Celebrity’s new dress code across the fleet (with the exception of Celebrity Xpedition) is designed to ease our guests’ apparel planning and packing, with the elimination of ‘informal’ nights. Many of our guests told us they found the ‘informal’ designation somewhat confusing, but repeatedly said they enjoy casual nights, and want to retain the elegant tradition of formal nights.
‘Smart casual and above’ allows guests to wear skirts and pants with sweaters, sport shirts or blouses — or more dressy apparel, if they choose — on every night but formal nights. Our guests are asked only to refrain from wearing jeans, t-shirts, swimwear, robes, bare feet, tank tops or baseball caps at any time in the main or specialty restaurants. And during evening hours, no shorts or flip-flops will be allowed in the main or specialty restaurants.
Celebrity’s new dress code will take effect on all sailings beginning on or after August 1, 2008. There will be one formal night on itineraries up to six nights, two on seven- to 11-night cruises, and three on 12-night or longer itineraries.
- July 21: This morning I reference the information posted on July 18th on Cruise Critic and sent another request to Celebrity for them to provide me with the correct information about the new dress code. When get the official word directly from them I will put it up here on my site.
July 21: I finally receive what I hope is the final word on this subject from Celebrity
The most recent and final update advises that jeans will not be allowed in the dining room for dinner. This information is the most up to date information provided directly by Celebrity Cruises.
We apologize for previous information advised incorrectly.
Thank you for choosing Celebrity Cruises. “

I too am a cruise info junkie and dinner wear is without a doubt the most heated debate on cruise critic at the moment. I think with more offices going business casual and the fact that you are limited in what you can pack on an airplane we are only going to see dress codes relax more and more. I think all the cruise lines should let the main dining rooms go basically all casual and allow those who want to dress to the 9’s do so in the more upscale pay restaurants.
I still prefer a more traditional formal cruise. One of the nice things about cruising is that we have many lines from which to choose. I like to see the main dinning room be a place to dress up. It just makes the experience that is included in the price of the cruise that much more special. I hope that there will always be some lines around that keep that tradition. On the other hand, some lines will choose to go more casual because there is a growing market for more casual cruises.
