Celebrity Cruises to launch flexible dining
Jun 24th
In September Celebrity Cruises will test ‚Celebrity Select‚, a new flexible programme for dinning. The test will be carried out on a selection of ships, which will be revealed later.
eTurboNews reports; “Passengers who opt for the plan will be able to reserve dining times either ahead of their cruises or once onboard, and can either request the same dining times each night or change it up each day.
“Traditionalists will still be able to choose a set-seating plan of assigned tables at early or late dinner times. Celebrity expects passengers will be split evenly between Celebrity Select and assigned dining.
Flexible diners of 2 persons may find this option more complex due to the lack of tables for 2; however diners would never be seated on a table where passengers are in mid-meal.
As the news from Celebrity Cruises has not long been revealed, more details will soon follow….
