Celebrity Cruises – Extend Your Stay Option…………
Brilliant news for those of you who are lucky enough to be cruising on any Celebrity ship in Europe from the end of September onwards, and I don’t know why they haven’t done it sooner, especially as you can almost always guarantee that Celebrity will book you on a late return flight. Until now passengers have had to endure lengthy hours waiting at the airport for their flight home, but no longer!
Extend Your Stay Program – to be opened on all Celebrity European ships by the end of September
What is the objective of this concept?
The objective of the Extend Your Stay program is to allow guests the flexibility of staying onboard longer on disembarkation day if they have a late flight back home.
What are the core elements of the concept:
Available on all ships sailing in Europe (for 2011 season, that’s CS, EC, EQ, SI and SL)
Only occurs in European turn ports (e.g. not available in MIA or FLL after a transatlantic cruise)
Guests may stay inside of their stateroom until 9:00am on disembarkation day (this is one hour longer than normal)
Stay onboard and enjoy some of the ship’s services until 90 minutes prior to ship departing
Guests can debark the ship whenever they’d like, but once of the ship, they can not enter again
The only exception to this rule is in Civitavecchia, where guests participating in Extend Your Stay can only get off the ship at two different times
Noon (for flights leaving no earlier than 4:30pm)
3:30 pm (for flights leaving no earlier than 8:00pm)
Services include:
Complimentary unlimited non-alcoholic drinks from Café al Bacio
Complimentary breakfast/ lunch in Bistro on Five
Complimentary first-run movie
Access to the pool, fitness center and limited spa services
Lockers in the spa changing room will be open for the convenience of the Extend Your Stay participants
Credit card will be accepted all day for purchases made in any bars and spa treatments
The cost is $59 per guest, $29.50 for children 3 to 12 years of age and free for children under 3
This service can be purchased on board from Guest Services – not bookable pre-cruise.
I think this is well worth the money , and it certainly beats sitting at the airport all day!
