When should I schedule my flights?
It is mandatory that all
cruisers arrive no later than
October 2nd, the day before the
ship departs in Seattle, WA. This is due to
the fact that many unforeseen
travel and weather occurrences
could hinder your ability to
arrival in a timely manner,
preventing you to be able to
sail with us the next day.
When making your return flight
arrangements, make sure that
your flight leaves AFTER 12:00
Noon
from the Seattle Airport.

What to Pack
Whether on the ship or in a port of call, stylish resort wear is
fine for both men and women. For warmer climates, this includes
walking shorts and polo shirts, swim suits and cover-ups,
lightweight slacks or skirts, and a light sweater. When visiting
cooler climates, casual clothing that can be easily layered for
warmth or comfort is recommended, along with a raincoat or
umbrella, waterproof hat and gloves.
On all Celebrity cruises, it's wise to bring along comfortable,
rubber-soled shoes, hat, sunglasses and a good sunscreen.
Remember to pack any prescription medications or other personal
care items you'll need. |

Evening Attire
Evenings aboard Celebrity include three types of dress: formal,
informal and casual.
Formal attire calls for an evening gown or cocktail dress for
ladies and a tuxedo, dinner jacket or dark suit for gentlemen.
Elegant, formal evenings include the Captain's Welcome Cocktail
Party and Dinner and the Captain's Farewell Dinner.
On informal nights, ladies may wear an informal dress or pants
and blouse, while gentlemen may wear a jacket and tie with
slacks. Casual nights call for casual, comfortable wear, so
women may opt for a pantsuit or sporty outfit while gentlemen
may choose a sport shirt and slacks.
The daily program, delivered to your stateroom and available at
the Guest Relations Desk, will be your guide to the appropriate
attire each evening. Dining in jeans, t-shirts, shorts, tank
tops or swimsuits detracts from the overall ambience and is
therefore not allowed in the main dining room after 6:00pm. |
