Centrale di colloquio di crociera

Attenzione! Attenzione! Attenzione! Da quando questo articolo è stato pubblicato l'8 luglio, il Celebrity ha aggiornato il loro Web page Rimuovendo la parola “jeans„ dalla loro lista di abbigliamento ufficiale per la notte casuale astuta. Sembra che l'inclusione della parola “jeans„ era un errore da parte del Web site. Il Celebrity non consentirà ufficialmente mai i jeans nella stanza pranzante.

La parola ufficiale ora è venuto dal Celebrity per quanto riguarda i cambiamenti al loro programma della bevanda e dell'alimento ed al loro nuovo codice del vestito. Web page di Celebrity ora fa i nuovi codici del vestito inviare.

Inoltre abbiamo fissato una copia del Celebrity la presentazione del punto che di alimentazione sotto quella è stata rotolata fuori ad alcuni dei membri di randello del loro capitano dell'elite per quanto riguarda i cambiamenti/aumenti al programma della bevanda e dell'alimento.

In primo luogo, commenterò i cambiamenti della bevanda e dell'alimento. Il Celebrity eliminerà i loro “morsi di mezzanotte„ serviti durante la nave intorno alla mezzanotte e li sostituirà con uno spuntino di mezzanotte al caffè di Cova. Inoltre stanno eliminando il buffet e la volontà di mezzanotte di Gala che mettono su un brunch di gala preferibilmente. Stanno aggiungendo una ricezione speciale di servizio ristoro come dopo che partito per il nuovo “Celebrity - Starring che„ assegnate la presentazione. Inoltre hanno annunciato più varietà e stazioni nella griglia laterale di zona e dello stagno del buffet. Per più particolari sui questi i nuovi rotol-outs della bevanda e dell'alimento soddisfano la presentazione sopra fissata del punto di alimentazione di Celebrity.

Questi cambiamenti sembrano essere abbastanza positivi. Il grande buffet ora avrà luogo ad un'ora più accessibile del giorno piuttosto che della mezzanotte. Tuttavia, quando questo grande buffet è stato presentato su una notte convenzionale e la gente è rimasto vestita formalmente per l'evento, gli ha dato un ambiance molto elegante. Alcuno del ambiance di grande buffet sarà una punta persa spostandola verso il tempo del brunch. As for my opinions on the new regular buffet enhancements, I usually don’t eat at the buffet very often on Celebrity, perhaps because the cafeteria style lines made it inefficient. The stations should provide for better flow, much like what I’ve heard works well on sister line Royal Caribbean. They will also be offering more variety at the pool side grill, which interests me as I am not really big on burgers and fries. Perhaps the event that peaked my interest the most is the new “Starring You” after party. This sounds like a fun event and will add a new special evening experience on Celebrity.

Along with the food and beverage announcements, Celebrity also announced that they will start a new evening dress code through-out the ships beginning August 1st. Two big changes will be contained in the new dress code: No More “Informal Nights” and jeans will now be allowed in the dining room on casual night. They will still retain formal nights as “special” evenings on Celebrity.

Their announcement cited the following statistics as the reasons for their change to the dress codes. They only had about 30% compliance with the code on informal night. That number seems much lower than the the properly dressed passengers I have observed on my many Celebrity cruises. I would say that about 80% of the people were dressed according to the code on the informal nights on my cruises. Perhaps this was because most of my Celebrity cruises have been 11 days or longer. Longer cruises are said to have a higher percentage of passengers who conform to the dress code. Celebrity does say that they have about 80% of their passengers dressing up for formal nights. They have pledged to continue the tradition of these formal evenings and provide suitable alternatives for those who do not wish to dress up. However, the announcements seems to indicate that the formal dress code will only be in place in the dining room and not enforced in other areas of the ship where the “smart casual or better” dress code will be the prevailing dress code for the ship.

I won’t get to experience the new dress code in person until November, so I’ll reserve my final judgment on the changes until that time. My initial thoughts are that the change to the prevailing “smart casual or better” evening dress code won’t make too much difference. People were already changing into more casual clothes after dinner anyway. I never did understand that concept, but I’ve often seen people who change none the less. I prefer to enjoy all my formal night activities in my nice clothes. The allowance of jeans in the dining room did take me by surprise. Celebrity has never officially allowed jeans in the dining room at any time. I’d see a few here and there, but for the most part people dressed more elegantly even on the casual nights. I hate to say it, but I feel allowing jeans is lowering the standards on the ship and will make cruising a less special experience for our family.

For the most part, my family has enjoyed dressing-up more on a cruise than we do in our everyday life in rural Arizona. Buying special clothes for the kids has never broken the bank either. There are plenty of places like Walmart, Ebay and thrift stores where I’ve found nice kids clothes like khakis, blazers and dresses for very reasonable prices. We still plan to continue to dress up a bit on casual evenings, though now it won’t be strictly required. I am personally a bit disappointed at the addition of jeans to the acceptable evening attire list, but understand that many people will be relieved to not have to dress up so much. Just remember that lightweight slacks will take up less space and weigh less than a pair of jeans.
