More FAQs - Chris Botti at Sea

What is the dress code aboard the cruise?

To help simplify your packing list, our nightly dress code is Casual Evening Attire for most nights on board the ship (i.e., slacks, collared shirts, khakis, skirts, dresses, etc.). We will have a “Formal” evening during our cruise that has a dress code of Elegant Evening Attire (i.e., suits, cocktail dresses, etc.). Daytime and Buffet Dining are Casual Attire (i.e., shorts, t-shirts, swimsuit cover-ups, shoes, etc.).

Can I buy alcohol in a Port of Call and bring it aboard the ship?

Yes, but Celebrity requires that you allow them to store it until the cruise is over. When you re-board in a Port of Call, they will store your purchase and provide details about retrieving your items at the end of the cruise. You will not be allowed to take it back to your stateroom. If you are under 21 years of age, you will not have the alcohol returned to you.

What items are prohibited on board the ship?

The following items are prohibited onboard the Celebrity Summit: Items with heating elements or open flames (i.e., clothing irons, hotplates, candles, incense), all forms of marijuana including medicinal, drugs or other illegal substances, weapons, and explosives or other dangerous items. Curling irons/hair straighteners and hair dryers are allowed.

Does every stateroom have a hair dryer? What about a clothing iron?

All staterooms are equipped with a hair dryer. Clothing irons are strictly prohibited onboard the ship.

Is there laundry service onboard the ship?

Celebrity does offer full-service laundry, dry cleaning, and pressing services onboard at a reasonable price. Rates will be available in your stateroom.

Is smoking allowed on board the ship?

Smoking is allowed in Designated Smoking Areas ONLY. Smoking in any areas beyond the Designated Smoking Areas, including in staterooms and on balconies, is strictly prohibited.

Should I bring extra cash for gratuities?

Gratuities are included in the Pass-Through Charges pricing for your cruise. Your stateroom steward and dining room staff receive gratuities included in the per person price that you paid for your cruise. If you feel you have received superior, above-and-beyond service, we recommend that you leave an additional gratuity.

Where can I find the most up to date info on the cruise?
