I've sailed in concierge class a couple times in the past.  Does Aquaclass have a separate boarding area similar to concierge class?  

 

As for Port Everglades,  Concierge and Aqua were directed to the far end of the waiting area for boarding. This area was separate from the general boarding area.

Just a separate line like Concierge.

Happy to be able to have discussions like this...it means cruising is back. 😉

Individual bottles, but large size.  Body lotion is by the basin, others are in a rack in the shower.  One square of hand soap is also supplied.

Are they the bottles that get refilled?  I never liked the idea of that...one set of people to the next and repeat etc... and the same bottles just getting refilled.  Yuck.   I understand the less plastic thought but that's what recycling is for. 😉

Good to hear!

Yes, glad to hear footstools are back.  That didn't make sense to take them away.  I also liked the larger table that was on the balcony.

That is helpful! I'd love to hear your experience with the Welcome Reception, Welcome Bottle of Sparkling Wine, and/or Expanded Room Service Breakfast menu with "healthy options .

Hi!  I checked the app again and it keeps getting things added.  It now has the AquaClass Expanded Breakfast menu for Room Service.  On the app it's a new section under Dining: Loyalty & Suites.  Blu menu is now located there as well (not fully showing yet for Blu).

 

Here are pics of the Room Service Breakfast Menu for AquaClass and I believe Concierge as well.

Sailing AQ for the first time next week. Is room service included with AQ? Can one order via the X app? Am accustomed to RCL where complimentary breakfast room service is limited.

Room service is free except for overnight where there is a small fee.  You can get lunch and dinner delivered to your room but they will come from the Main Dining Room, not Blu.

I also don't like the idea of bottles being refilled. Yes,yuck! I won't use them if that is the case and I will bring my own.

Next time you're in a restaurant  watch how they fill your glass..  Half the time they touch the edge of your glass with the edge of the water pitcher.

It's not the workers I am concerned about. There are a lot of strange people in this world who might think it fun to add stuff to the bottles. I am sure they do not get rinsed out between cruises.

Each day you will get a new  bottle of water that has NOT been opened in Aqua Class.  Not sure where you got bottles being refilled by staff.

I believe they are talking about refilling bottles of shampoo, body wash  not bottles of water.  Something i haven't seen celebrity do. Maybe it's new.

I noticed on my app that there's a separate category for Aqua room service which does not show a fee for late night.  This may be new.

Anyone know what this means?  What these are?

I would assume that these are part of the Always Included program that everyone has now.  They are just reminding you of these while on that page

 

Beaufort SC - great town, was just there a month or so ago.  worth the time to go there

Yes, Beaufort is awesome.  We love it.  Grew up here.  Thanks.

 

So by "Perks" means it's included?  I have a casino comp so not overly sure what I'm getting lol.

On the Edge Class and ships that have been Revolutionized the shower toiletries are not individual disposable bottles but large, refillable ones that are attached to the wall. There's a security bracket that holds the dispenser bottles in place and you need a special key to open the bracket and refill the bottles. The only freestanding bottle is for the body lotion that sits on the lavatory counter (This again is not to be taken home and unfortunately isn't tamperproof)

Some comped cruises include the new Always Included "perks", but not all - you can add the beverage package and wifi at a discounted rate, if it's not part of your offer.  Check your invoice - your details should be listed there - you can also go into the Cruise Planner on the Celebrity website for your sailing and click on the "Order History" tab in the top right - it will list all your perks, upgrades, dinner reservations, shore excursions, etc. - then you'll know what to expect.

 

We upgraded our Blue Chip Club offer from Balcony (with no perks) to Aqua and they added the perks - got a great deal

Maybe because I'm with a TA but in Cruise Planner I see OBC and shore excursions but not perks.  (ex I don't see elevate)

There's more to the page:

 

Note the "Sky Suite" below AquaClass.  So those perks could be associated with suites or AI. The flyer is not really clear on that.

Curious about dining in Blu.  I know it's supposed to be healthier eating but does it include a selection of gluten free items?  I am struggling with figuring out how to cruise and stay gluten free. (It's a health issue not by choice😥) Thanks for your help. 

If anyone else has Celiacs thoughts for eating on cruises(not just in the Aqua class) would be appreciated!!   I don't want to stop cruising!

I don't know from personal experience, but Celebrity claims this:
