Aqua Class. Is it worth the money?

Celebrity Cruises is considered to be the luxury brand of Royal Caribbean. With the entry into service of the Solstice Class ships, came into play a new way of "crucering", the AQUA CLASS. The passengers have apreciated this innovation so much that Celebrity Cruises has imposed a renewal of the Millennium Class ships to "Solstized" them. That means adapt the advantages of the Solstice class ships to the other celebrity ships. Celebrity Constellation was the first one to pass this renovation and now is navigating with the new Aqua class and a Tuscan Grille. The next one will be the Summit, and it's expected to include a Blu Restaurant.

PERSIAN GARDEN CELEBRITY ECLIPSE

The new AQUA CLASS is considered to be better than Concierge Class, although the C1 Concierge staterooms are usually more expensive in fact than Aqua Class staterooms. The advantages of this new class are on the one hand the same as concierge class such as priority boarding, sparkling wine in your stateroom upon arrival, fresh fruit in the cabin, expanded breakfast room service, large towels and bathrobes, free use of umbrellas and binoculars in the cabin, different kind of pillows, restaurant seating preferences...

On the other hand you'll enjoy other benefits when travelling in AQUA class such as:

• Hansgröhe shower panel with massage effect in the cabin

• Personal care products in the cabin

• Unlimited free access to the Persian Garden, which is the Turkish bath area and thermal beds (the rest of the passengers have to pay about $ 20 / day to access

• You will be assigned table in the speciality restaurant Blu instead of the main restaurant. Blu is a Mediterranean restaurant with littlle tables for two or four people. The other passengers have to pay if they want to have dinner at the Blu restaurant

• Blu serves a healthy breakfast for Aqua Class passengers

Is it worth the AQUA CLASS? The answer is yes, but not at any price. In the brochure you will usually find that the price of the Aqua Class is more expensive than Concierge, but if you check out Celebrity Cruises web, they'll give you a lower price (less than C1). If you're thinking to travel in Concierge class, check out the Aqua Class prices and you'll be surprised.  If you've reserved a 2A or 1B cabin you'll find out that the difference to AQUA CLASS is $300 per person or less. If you can afford it  do not hesitate and change category to Aqua Class, because that's about what it would cost the access to the Persian Garden for the whole cruise and the meals in the Blu, and you´ll also enjoy the other benefits of Aqua Class.
