WestLakeGirl Posted August 19, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Celebrity is advertising some shore excursions as Verified Sustainable Experiences. What does that mean? Who verified them? Please explain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted August 19, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Google shows that Royal Caribbean advertising uses the same phrase but I couldn't find out what it means. Anybody know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WALKER1313 Posted August 20, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I signed up for the email contact. It looks old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted August 20, 2016 #7 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I think the link in post #5 is it, but it's long on verbiage and short on substance -- just who is doing the verifying? What are the criteria? I see where tour operators can "join" for $750 but what does that get them? All very curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WALKER1313 Posted August 22, 2016 #8 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I got no response from the email inquiry. Anyone have further information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted August 22, 2016 #9 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I called Celebrity after waiting on hold for a period of time, I got the blah, blah, blah run around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
