巡航談話中央

首先，我有必須交代我是「巡航信息吸毒者」。 為我，一半樂趣採取巡航計劃它。 我在基於互聯網的留言簿收集信息在從其他巡洋艦，讀旅行雜誌和購買指南書為我參觀的口岸。

結束過去幾個星期信息滴下關於消滅他們的「不拘形式的夜」和替換他們的名人用什麼他們稱「聰明偶然或更好」。 然而，由於什麼我可能只認為是非常惡劣的內部公司通信，信息滴下並且/或者來自直接地名人是非常纏擾不清的。 為是巡航信息吸毒者，很好的我們，我們實際拔出我們的頭髮。

我彙集少許時線說明情況：

• 6月13日： 巡航評論家成員崗位在他們的委員會他的名人巡航不提供名單偶然和正式夜，但不拘形式。 (A熱烈的辯論在巡航評論家跟隨)
• 6月16日： 不管怎樣疲倦於所有辯論沒有確認，我告訴名人的上尉俱樂部，并且不拘形式用聰明偶然將替換的代表證實。 沒有提供的進一步細節。
• 7月2日： 名人提出信息關於新的食物&飲料改進對一個精選的小組精華上尉俱樂部會員。 Powerpoint介紹由一個名人戀人在站點張貼 遊覽線路風扇。 信息認為他們做出決定消滅不拘形式，因為，當大約80%乘客穿戴在正式夜時，只有大約30%是禮服根據指南在不拘形式的夜。 介紹具體地認為他們祝願「建立一更加清楚被定義的「聰明偶然和在」便服標準之上作為戰勝的晚禮服代碼。_」也他們祝願對「 提供更加清楚的著裝條例執行指南并且為艦上管理支持。” 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. “
