EDGE

Just got notified that we have been upgraded from a balcony category E4 to AQUA Class. Besides a different cabin does that mean anything in benifits?

You can dine in Blu and it's great service and food. 

[kwokpot]

Also means you have unlimited use of the Thermal Suite located in the Spa

I think being able to dine in Blu is the best thing going for Aqua Class. Congratulations on the upgrade.

New free fitness classes added to the AQ class.  BTW, EDGE is a pretty generic forum title.  A bit more specificity may improve your responses.

Is that complimentary upgrade, or is that through the bidding? 

Either way, congrats!!

The room service menu is a bit better.  "better" shower head.   More Captains Club points per night 🙂

[george35]

To seapad, we got it thru bidding, my bid was $100

Well done.  I think you will get 2 more points per day also.  Don't miss the short ribs in Blu if you are a meat eater.  Enjoy your cruise.

I was under the impression you only got CC points associated with your originally booked category rather than those associated with the category you were upgraded to though bidding. Has that changed?

We just got back from Alaska. We upgraded from Concierge to a Sky Suite onboard through Guest Services. For 7 nights, we earned 40 points each. I don’t get how that was calculated, but definitely more points than we would’ve received in our original room.

Interesting. So when you looked at your cruise in Past Cruises, it noted that you got 40 points rather than 35?

Did you opt in for only once a day service from your cabin steward? I think that is a one day bonus in points.

Is that something new? How do we opt in on that? I have two cruises this year and subsequently will be one point shy of Elite Plus!

I'm not sure if they had it precovid, I’ve only heard of it post COVID.

Since it’s a Move Up bid, they get the CC points for their original cabin class.

Is dining on the Magic Carpet worth it?  If so, what is the cost and how do you book it?

[george35]

Just got up-graded on our 2nd cruise which was a b/b on Oct 9th & didnt bid on this one. Leaving tomorrow.

That's pretty damn lucky. My parents paid for a inside guarantee for the 0ct 30th Edge cruise and they were assigned an inside, as expected. I would if thought as an Elite and low occupancy they would have gotten an upgrade to oceanview. It doesn't matter to them, they're fine with an inside.

No. We weren’t given this option.
