Celebrity offers Flexible Dining

Celebrity Cruises has been one of the last cruise lines to offer a flexible dining option. Many passengers are more comfortable eating at times other than your standard early and late dining and now Celebrity is offering that option.

"Celebrity Select Dining is our new flexible dining option that allows you to choose when you dine on a day by day basis. You’ll still be seated in the ship’s main dining room, order from the same dinner menu, and enjoy the same amazing service that you’re accustomed to onboard Celebrity Cruises, but with more flexibility.

Once you’ve chosen Celebrity Select Dining in your reservation, you can make your day by day reservations pre-cruise, reserve once onboard or simply come to
the dining room whenever you’d like to have dinner.* Guests onboard Celebrity Equinox, beginning with the September 26,2009 sailing, will be the first to experience Celebrity Select Dining onboard, with all other ships rolling out during the first quarter of 2010.

Celebrity Select Dining allows you to plan your dinner around your daily activities. You’ll no longer have to rush to dinner after your relaxing spa treatment. If you want to spend some extra time sightseeing in one of our many ports of call,
you’ll have the option to dine a little later that evening. Celebrity Select Dining is all about flexibility. You can choose to dine in our Main Dining room at any time between 6:00 and 9:30pm each evening, and better yet, you can dine at a different time every evening if that’s what you choose. In order to ensure the best possible dining experience, we strongly recommend that you make your day by day dining reservations online before your cruise. For your convenience, however, we will also
accept reservations once onboard the ship.

Key Highlights of Celebrity Select Dining:
• Same amazing service as traditional seating
• Same menu as traditional seating
• Still seated in the Main Dining Room
• Pre-paid gratuities are required to participate — this includes tips for your waiter, assistant waiter, dining room management, and all stateroom service.
• You have the choice to either dine with other guests or just with your own party
• Once Celebrity Select Dining is selected in the cruise booking, day by day reservations can be made pre-cruise online on celebritycruises.com
• Reservations are strongly encouraged in order to avoid a delay in seating, and can be made online pre-cruise up to 4 days prior to sailing, or onboard with the Maitre ‘d
• Only groups of 20 or less can be seated at one time
• Celebrity Select Dining is subject to availability"
