« Older: The Mail Buoy Episode 110 Newer: Pride of Aloha to Become Norwegian Sky Again – The Circle of Life Continues »

The following two policies have been put into immediate effect for all sailings on Azamara CruisesSM, Celebrity Cruises® and Royal Caribbean International®:

Infant Policy

Infants sailing on a cruise must be at least 6 months old as of the first day of the cruise/cruisetour. However, for Transatlantic, Transpacific, Hawaii, select South American cruises/cruisetours and other selected cruises/cruisetours, the infant (as of the first day of the cruise/cruisetour) must be at least 12 months old.

As of April 22, 2008, the list of cruises to which the 12 month minimum age requirement applies (in addition to all Transatlantic, Transpacific, and Hawaii cruises) is as follows:

Celebrity Infinity – January 31, 2010, February 14, 2010;
Mariner of the Seas® – January 4, 2009, January 19, 2009, February 3, 2009;
Splendour of the Seas® – March 30, 2009;
Legend of the Seas® – October 23, 2009, November 4, 2009.

Any cruisetours associated with these cruises are also subject to the 12 month minimum age requirement. Denial of boarding for infants who do not satisfy these minimum age requirements may also result in the denial of boarding for one or more guests sailing with that infant. No refunds or other compensation shall be due from the cruise line to anyone as a result of the denial of boarding to an underage infant or other accompanying guests.

Pregnancy Policy

Azamara CruisesSM, Celebrity Cruises® and Royal Caribbean International® cannot accept guests who will have entered their 24th week of pregnancy by the beginning of, or at any time during, the cruise or cruisetour. A physician’s “Fit to Travel” note is required prior to sailing, stating how far along (in weeks) the guest’s pregnancy will be at the beginning of the cruise and confirming that the guest is in good health and not experiencing a high-risk pregnancy.
