For the 2024 ‘70s Rock & Romance Cruise, proof of vaccination will not be required to sail. We do highly recommend that every guest is fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and boosted (if eligible) at time of sailing.

In some cases, we are able to accept guests who use supplemental oxygen or are on dialysis at this time for the '70s Rock & Romance Cruise.

All guests with any special needs requirements should contact Celebrity Cruise’s Access Department at 1-866-592-7225 or by e-mail at special_needs@rccl.com to make arrangements and for further information.

Celebrity Cruises’ enhanced cleaning and sanitization protocols and enhanced medical center set a new industry standard. Their HVAC system continuously supplies and filters 100% fresh, filtered air to all spaces. You can breathe easy knowing the robust system’s layers of protection make the transmission of aerosol particles between spaces extremely low to virtually impossible.

All Celebrity ships are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized prior to every voyage, and consistently and frequently throughout your sailing, with disinfecting cleaning agents and techniques that have been certified by health authorities as effective against SARS-Cov-2 (coronavirus). All chemicals are EPA-certified, alcohol-based, scentless, and safe for the general population. High-traffic and frequently touched areas like elevators, escalators, stairways, and promenades are cleaned every two hours and gangway rails every 20 to 30 minutes during busy times. Staterooms are cleaned daily and only while guests are out of the room, with particular attention paid to frequently used items and surfaces. All stateroom and housekeeping attendants will be continuously trained on the latest sanitization guidelines. We'll ensure cleaning standards are upheld through frequent stateroom inspections using black light technology to show surface wiping efficacy. Crew will have mandatory, ongoing training classes and refreshers that are documented to ensure all the latest protocols are being followed, in compliance with various international regulations, including the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Celebrity has also increased the number of Purell® sanitizer stations around the ship by 75% and introduced Purell sanitizer wipe stations in high-touch areas.

We offer an easy, monthly payment plan to pay for your cabin for the ‘70s Rock & Romance Cruise.

StarVista LIVE is dedicated to making the payments for cabins as guest-friendly as possible.

*All payments are non-refundable

In addition to admission to all of the amazing performances and onboard events produced by StarVista LIVE, all of the standard items associated with a Celebrity cruise are included, which includes but is not limited to meals, including most room service (except for meals at the specialty restaurants), non-carbonated beverages (i.e.coffee, juices, tea, etc), use of the ship's beautiful pools, and use of the ship's health & fitness center. StarVista LIVE charter cruises are not included in Celebrity’s “Always Included” offer. This means that beverages and wi-fi are not included in the base price of your cabin on this cruise and will have to be purchased separately.

The price does not include airfare, ground transportation, onboard purchases (i.e. spa services, specialty restaurants, carbonated and bottled beverages, alcoholic beverages, gift shop, etc.), gambling, excursions, or travel insurance.

Celebrity Cruises does offer drink packages. Please visit their website for more information.

StarVista LIVE operates as a charter company contracting with the cruise lines up to two years in advance. Standard stateroom amenities (i.e. robes, yoga mats, sound systems, priority embarkation, etc.) are included as part of the StarVista LIVE cruise. These amenities and services are subject to change. The cruise lines occasionally offer new retail booking promotions (i.e. onboard credit, free internet, drink packages, dining packages, etc.) as enhanced amenities during certain periods of time for some cabin types. Unfortunately, not all the same promotional amenities and services options are available to StarVista LIVE under our contracted agreement and therefore we do not offer them as a standard part of the price of our cabins. If you have questions regarding the amenities and services included with a particular stateroom category, please call our office prior to booking your cabin for confirmation.

All payments made are non-refundable. StarVista LIVE strongly encourages the purchase of Travel Protection. Once you receive your booking confirmation, a link will be provided to purchase Travel Protection from Travel Insured.

The first of the month is the only day on which payments can be made.

'70s Rock & Romance Cruise 2024

*All times are (ET), Ports of call subject to change

StarVista LIVE does not provide transportation from the airport to the hotel or directly to the Pier, nor from the pier to the airport after the cruise. For those guests staying the night before the cruise in our pre-cruise hotel, StarVista LIVE offers luggage service and motorcoach transportation on the day of the cruise from the hotel to the seaport. We will load your baggage onto the motorcoach, and then, under your watchful eye, deliver it to the porters upon arrival at the port. More information available soon.

We typically post the departure terminal approximately six weeks before the sailing. Please check back on our website on or around six weeks before sailing or look out for an email prior to departure for further instruction. Check for signs at the terminal entrance to confirm the ship location on embarkment day to confirm the ship’s location the day of.

Each night, we schedule shows in The Celebrity Theater at 6:30 pm and 9:00 pm. We respectively accommodate every guest at one of these shows. We also schedule additional performances and events in a number of other venues including the Constellation Lounge, Rendezvous Lounge, Grand Foyer, The Pool and Celebrity Theater, as available.  We try to match the artist and their performance with the most appropriate venue, taking into account the entire schedule, so as to afford guests opportunities to see as much entertainment as possible. Get a glimpse of this year’s ‘70s Rock & Romance Cruise schedule by clicking here.

Factoring in the total number of guests, the volume of performances and activities, and the size of other venues, we do occasionally run into lines and seating pressure. We manage this to the best of our ability by opening up the venues early when we can, scheduling multiple shows at the same time, adding shows when we can and communicating the schedule so guests can plan their day and evenings. But like many well-attended activities (e.g. concerts, sports events, etc.) lines can develop.

Guests have the opportunity to attend their designated color-coded shows in The Celebrity Theater. Our main evening shows, approximately 6:30 pm and 9:00 pm allow guests the chance to see the show and still be comfortably accommodated for dining in the main dining room. At the time of reservation, you will select your show time and corresponding dining time. This will remain your set time for the duration of the cruise. Get a glimpse of this year’s ‘70s Rock & Romance Cruise schedule by clicking here.

The cruise is a floating music festival and, as such, the artist’s performances are the primary focus of the cruise and autograph sessions are not formally scheduled. However, there is opportunity for informal interaction between many of the artists and guests in several ways. In some of our smaller venues, we encourage the artists, and they often do time permitting, to greet guests and sign or take a picture after the event or show. Also, a number of artists organize formal meet and greets with their fan clubs on board which provide a great way to get an autograph or picture.

Additionally, some artists will bring copies for sale of their latest project (CDs, books, etc.) and when they do, we will often schedule a formal signing around those sales. When this happens, we communicate these events to guests so they can plan their schedules.

Of course, with 2,000 guests, the festival nature of the cruise, the artists’ planned schedules (soundcheck, performances, Q&A sessions, activities, etc.) and our desire to provide as many performances as possible, it is a very busy week that will limit artist availability.

Many of our artists will be onboard the ship for the entire cruise. However, there may be some cases where an artist must join us during the trip or depart early due to scheduling conflicts or family commitments.

StarVista LIVE adheres to all Celebrity Cruise policies.  

For the comfort and enjoyment of our guests, our ships are designated as non-smoking, however, we recognize that some of our guests smoke.  Therefore, to provide an onboard environment that also satisfies smokers, we have designated certain areas of the ship as “smoking areas.”  Generally, smoking is not permitted except in designated areas.  (Contact Guest Relations for additional details).  This policy includes smoking-like products such as electronic cigarettes.  

Smoking is not permitted inside any guest stateroom; nor on any guest veranda.  If a guest is in violation of this policy, a cleaning fee of $250 USD will be applied to their account and the guest may be subject to further action pursuant to the “Consequences Section” of Celebrity Cruises Guest Conduct Policy.  

Celebrity Cruises kindly asks all guests to please observe the non-smoking areas and to refrain from smoking cigarettes, pipes, or cigars in any of the non-designated areas.  These requests are made to provide a comfortable shipboard environment for everyone.

Where permitted, cigarettes, cigars and pipe tobacco must always be properly disposed of and never thrown overboard.  A guest must be at least 18 years of age to purchase, possess or use tobacco.

We do not allow guests who possess medical marijuana permits to bring marijuana onboard any of our ships.  It is only legal to use medical marijuana in the jurisdiction (state/county/city etc.) where it was prescribed.  It's a federal offense to possess it when leaving and entering the U.S. and many foreign countries.

While we often conduct vow renewal ceremonies onboard our cruise, we cannot offer opportunities for wedding ceremonies at this time. Guests are welcome to choose to get married on land at a port of call during the sailing, but this is not something that StarVista LIVE or the cruise line is able to assist with. Congrats to you and yours!

If your stateroom is close to one of our main venues, you may be able to hear performances. Please be advised that some performances occur past 10 PM. Cabins near stairwells, the main dining room, and the pool can also be subject to operational sound.
