Aqua Sky Suite or Aqua Class With Premium Access? (Celebrity Edge - Australia)

[BV0]

My wife and I are looking at a 11 day cruise from Sydney. We are considering an Aqua Sky Suite, but are thinking of just getting an Aqua Class and adding the Premium Access Pass and getting drinks as we go.

 

The premium access pass seems like a great deal and includes the things we want. Especially saved theater seating, and it is better than the suites perk because that one is only on chic nights. The internet package seems good, and the value is great for the price.

 

Does each person have to purchase the Premium Access or does one cover the cabin?

 

We reviewed the menus and seem to like the offerings on Blu more than Luminae.

 

We would like a bigger room and may enjoy the Retreat but have heard the one on the Edge is not very good and the sun deck does not offer much shade like the newer ships do.

 

Another option we are considering is to book an Acqua Class and try for a Sky Acqua class on the move up program. 

 

We are open to any input or suggestions anyone has. The cruise has a lot of sea days if that makes a difference.

 

On a side note, I'm surprised Celebrity offers the Premium Access package as it seems to cannibalize from the sky suites. We would have never considered Acqua Class instead of a Sky Acqua Class if it was not from the Premium Access package being such an amazing deal.

Premium access has to be purchased by everyone in the cabin. 
Besides access to Retreat, you also get a regular balcony with the Aqua sky suite vs an infinite veranda with the regular aqua class.

Thank you for the h e insight and mentioning the balcony difference.
