New Smoking Policy On Celebrity Cruises
Celebrity Cruises Revamps Smoking Policy
First premium cruise line to join trend toward cleaner-air environment
MIAMI, 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.
The new policy will go into effect on Celebrity's fleet on the first
day of the first sailing to follow October 1.

So screw the 10% of your guests (the higher drinking, higher
spending.) Enjoy your treehuggingpieceofshitseagarbagescow. My next
cruise will not be with you. I'll take a real ship.

If they were making that much money from smokers, it wouldn't be
their policy.

Your ship is the Titanic.
Most people who go on those cruises are seniors. The smoking
rate for seniors is about 10% (much less than the next younger
age group). Smokers either quit or die before reaching
retirement age.

they've been smoking for 80+ years.
Odd, that, eh?

That's "Dog bites Man."
THAT makes the popular press if the centarian is a smoker and drinker.
But that's simply anecdotal. Plenty of nonsmokers reach advanced age.
"Man bites Dog" is the rare case the smoker lives long.
That's what sells newspapers.
I don't why I have to tell you that.
Oh yeah, you're a nicotine addict.
Denial.

Quite dumping facts on Bruce (Seig Heil) Watson - it's offends his
(in)sensibilities.

No doubt. Unfortunately we smokers are the one minority on earth it is
absolutely legal to discriminate against with complete immunity from
prosecution.
We can't even get support from the ACLU and they defended NAMBLA.

Your idea of a "cruise" ship is a 16' bass boat with a 100 HP outboard. :~)

Well now THAT's a different kettle of fish. If they tell me I can't
smoke in a bass boat I'll be in the bell tower.
Ken in Miami
had a 16' Bass Tracker and loved it :-)
