AquaSpa benefits for AQ class?

[John73]

I did look on the Celebrity site but I can't find any info on what AquaSpa treatments or benefits you get as part of the Aqua Class cabins. What, if any, spa treatments or access do you get as part of AQ class cabins?

No Spa treatments are included but you do get free access to the Persian Gardens and Spa Relaxation room.

You can also use the search feature "search this forum" and find TONS of info. on the benefits in Aquaclass. It's well worth the price, more for the access to Blu than any "spa" benefits, imo.

You are correct that there is very little specific information about AQ Cabins and the AquaSpa either on CC or on Celebrity's web site. I think that the reason for this lack of AquaSpa specific information is that there is very little connection between the two. The main AQ/AquaSpa connection is that AQ passengers have free access to The Persian Gardens (PG); for all others there is a charge to use The PG.

 

I think that the only other published connection is that AQ passengers have an AquaSpa person assigned to them; if requested (no one volunteered during our cruise).

 

Bottom line IMO, the connection between the AquaSpa and AQ Cabins is minimal (except for The PG) and should not be considered as big benefit when comparing the prices of different categories. However, as the others have mentioned, Blu alone is a big plus for many of us and access to PG is very nice also.

You are allowed to make an Aqua Spa appointment and pay the same as everyone else. the only thing free is the relaxation room and Persian Gardens. The assumption that you receive anything free in the spa is not correct.

Thanks all for clearing that up. I'll do a better job of using search before posting any more questions :)

At the podium outside the Relaxation Room on Deck 11 serves as the Spa Concierge for AquaClass guests... As I've observed it, the role is one of facilitating access to The Persian Gardens [via key exchange], making spa appointments for AquaClass guests [though I doubt anyone is turned away], and serving as receptionist for all having spa treatments on Deck 11 [the massage rooms are there]... Personal is a bit of a stretch but it serves some purpose in that AquaClass guests--all have cabins on Deck 11--don't have to contend with the larger, much busier spa reception area on Deck 12 [and can readily access The Persian Gardens, with a bit more privacy, via the spiral staircase that connects the two levels]...

Xport,

 

Thanks for the info on the AQ Spa Concierge. I have been searching the boards for some explanation of what this person does and where they are located!
