Celebrity smoking ban

Celebrity Cruise lines has said that from October 1st 2008 there will be a no-smoking policy in staterooms and on verandas. It’s a real ‘ouch’ policy too – if you are detected smoking, a fee of around £120 will be added to your bill as a ‘cabin-cleaning’ charge. Smoking will only be allowed in designated indoor and outdoor areas which are: the port side of one lounge per ship and a designated slot machine area in each ship’s casino indoors and: • 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 ships • The port side aft outside Winter Garden on Celebrity Galaxy and Celebrity Mercury • Celebrity’s new Solstice class of ships will follow the new policy from the first sailing, which means Celebrity Solstice’s Lawn Club and Sunset Bar will not allow smoking.
