The environment is not only welcoming onboard, but Celebrity Cruises makes a point to partner with many land-based organizations that support LGBTQ rights. Celebrity has sponsored the Gay Pride Festival in Miami Beach, where the company is headquartered, and won best float in 2017. "We will continue to sponsor the Pride Parade in our own backyard," Giorgi told Cruise Critic. "I believe the LGBTQ community in Miami is underserved, and the parade should be on the map in a big way. Talking about what we could do to bring the experience onboard, we thought people should still have a chance to celebrate, even at sea, so we decided to host a global pride party. There was a pride event held at the same time across nine ships, and it's something I think we will continue into the future."
