I have never booked Aqua. Do the menus in Blu have the dietary symbols as those in the MDR?
I am Dairy Intolerant, so wonder if they could accommodate me.

I'm pretty sure they will let you eat where you choose.

Probably more than in the MDR, they are very accommodating in BLU and Luminae.

We booked a couple of Aqua Class cruises pre Covid and loved Blu for the smaller venue and superb service but some of the menus were not great.  We liked that we didn't have to eat  with hundreds of people every night and we were able to order off the MDR on both the Infinity and Equinox when we choose to.

 

Post Covid we did a Retreat cruise and absolutely loved Luminae and the Retreat experience, now we will only book suites going forward. Already have 3 Sky Suite cruises booked on Edge and Apex.

Good the OP has it worked out. Another option is if you want the Spa but don’t want Aqua is to get the SR you want and then sign up for daily (Full Cruise) spa. Not cheap but (usually) cheaper than going Aqua. 

 

Blu is very nice, but it all depends on taste and so on. We enjoyed Blu but find the MDR, especially on E-Class, to meet what we enjoy. Going to try the Retreat’s Luminae on our 2022 TA.

Have you looked at the pics of Blu? It looks lovely. I haven't read any reports of anyone wanting to dine in MDR after having dined in Blu. Let's us know what happens please. 

Blu normally does not serve prime rib on the 1st night of the cruise, MDR does. That is why we have dinner in the select section of the MDR on the 1st night. I had asked the Maitre D if we could get prime rib in Blu on the 1st night. The Maitre D said no. I gave the Maitre D our room numbers and said we would be dining in the MDR the 1st night. We did not have any problems getting a table of 4 in the MDR.

I am in the process of trying to upgrade my next cruise on Apex to the lowest level suite.  Celebrity is having a hard time figuring out what to allow me for my current booking, it was lifted and shifted twice with some FCC involved.  Currently booked in an SV on Apex in March.  I think the retreat on the Edge class would be very nice, from everything I have seen/read.  

 

Next cruise on Equinox in the fall is in Aqua...
