Reducing fleet capacity

[peterde]

Do you intend to retire the older ships and reduce Celebrity capacity to more manageable numbers? Lately it seems celebrity has had trouble maintaining staffing levels and providing adequate service to its passengers. A reduction in ships would help this.

While we are always evaluating our global portfolio to ensure our brands continue to lead in each of their respective operating segments, we don’t currently have any plans to sell additional ships.

We have not changed our staffing levels and will continue to ensure they are maintained fleetwide so we can provide the elevated hospitality you expect when sailing with us.

Thank you Laura Hodges Bethge for your response. It’s wonderful that Celebrity is taking the time to interact with their guests and addressing our concerns. Bravo!
