CELEBRITY CRUISES INTRODUCES “CELEBRITY SELECT” FLEXIBLE DINING OPTION
First cruise line to add pre-cruise reservation benefit to a flexible dining program
MIAMI – August 31, 2009 – From the first spa at sea to an innovative category of
accommodations bridging the gap between stylish staterooms and luxury suites; from the first
tableside cooking and carving to the first lawn of real, growing grass at sea, Celebrity Cruises has
long been an industry leader when it comes to putting guests at the center of attention. Today,
Celebrity Cruises introduced Celebrity Select DiningSM, a new flexible dining option that allows guests
to choose when they dine in the main dining room onboard, on a day-by-day basis, which includes
the industry’s first pre-cruise day-by-day flexible dining reservation system.
“Celebrity Select Dining gives our guests the flexibility to spend their days any way they like,” said
Jacques Van Staden, Vice President of Culinary Operations, Celebrity Cruises. “Whether they wish to
enjoy more time in a specific port of call one day and dine later that evening than another, or
whether they wish to keep a traditional set dining time, they will receive the same amazing service
and enjoy the same menu. It’s all about our guests, and it’s all about choice.”
No other cruise line that offers a flexible dining option also offers pre-cruise day-by-day reservations.
Through this industry-leading technology, Celebrity’s guests can go online to choose their desired
dining time – anytime between 6 and 9:30 pm – for each day of their cruise, up to four days prior to
boarding. Reservations also can be made onboard with the main dining room’s Maitre d’. Pre-cruise
reservations are strongly encouraged in order to ensure the best possible dining experience. Guests
can pre-book their dining times online at
www.celebritycruises.com. All dining times are subject to
availability, and guests who elect Celebrity Select Dining must pay gratuities.
During the booking process, guests will choose either Celebrity Select Dining or traditional dining.
Guests will be accommodated on a first-come/first-served basis. Guests who choose to customize
their onboard dining times through Celebrity Select Dining also will have the choice to either dine with
only their own traveling companions or with other guests on the cruise, and Celebrity will work to
accommodate this choice.
Guests sailing on Celebrity’s newest ship, the 2,850-guest Celebrity Equinox, beginning with the
September 26, 2009 sailing, will be the first to experience Celebrity Select Dining. Online booking for
pre-cruise day-by-day dining reservations for this sailing opened today. Guests who are already
booked on Celebrity Equinox’s sailings taking place on or after September 26 can choose to switch to
Celebrity Select Dining.

Individuals who elect to take advantage of Celebrity Select Dining before cruising will be required to

dining room management and stateroom attendants. If guests wish to choose to change from
traditional dining to Celebrity Select Dining after they have boarded, they can do so within the first 24
hours of their cruise, on a space-available basis. Guests who choose Celebrity Select Dining while
onboard or who are otherwise not eligible to be charged prior to sailing will automatically have
gratuities added to their onboard portfolio account.
Celebrity Select Dining is subject to availability. Only groups of 20 or less can be seated at one time.
Celebrity ships that offer specialty restaurants in addition to the main dining room already offer online
pre-cruise reservations that can be made up to four days prior to boarding. Guests who dine in
Celebrity’s specialty restaurants are charged a per-person reservation fee.
Celebrity Cruises offers comfortably sophisticated, upscale vacation experiences with highly personalized
service, exceptional dining, and extraordinary attention to detail. Celebrity sails in Alaska, California,
Canada/New England, the Caribbean, Europe, Galapagos Islands, the Pacific Coast, Panama Canal and South
America. The line also offers unique cruisetour vacations in Alaska, Canada, Europe and South America. Noted
for four of the top 10 "Top Cruise Ships in the World" in the large-ship category, as voted by the readers of
Condé Nast Traveler (February 2009 readers’ poll), Celebrity’s fleet – including the new Celebrity Solstice and
Celebrity Equinox – will be joined by Celebrity Eclipse in 2010, a fourth Solstice-class ship in 2011, and a fifth in
2012.
