ohhbother Posted November 2, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 2, 2008 On my upcoming Solstice sailing, I can move from CC to AquaClass for $160 more total. What do you think -- worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted November 2, 2008 #2 Share Posted November 2, 2008 On my upcoming Solstice sailing, I can move from CC to AquaClass for $160 more total. What do you think -- worth it? Hi Ohhbother ! You should ask yourself if the Aqua Class amenities appeal to you. Assuming they do, I would absolutely go for the $ 160. Usually, it is far more for AQ, and that is a very good deal. Please let us know what you decide. Enjoy your Cruise ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellagirl Posted November 2, 2008 #3 Share Posted November 2, 2008 We did the same thing as you did and were able to upgrade from CC for only $50/pp!!! So, time will tell if we made the right decision but for that price, I just couldn't resist! Happy sailing:) Shelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2131 Posted November 2, 2008 #4 Share Posted November 2, 2008 As previously posted, it depends on what is important to you. A few points to ponder - the same double sailing credits as CC or a suite, dining in Blu (this was the selling point for us), double occupancy only in the AQ cabins (few, if any, children), and the spa touches in and out of the cabin exclusive to AQ. At this point, of course, it is an educated guess, but I would go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrym Posted November 2, 2008 #6 Share Posted November 2, 2008 On my upcoming Solstice sailing, I can move from CC to AquaClass for $160 more total. What do you think -- worth it? I don't understand???? Why would anyone pay to downgrade from CC to Aquaclass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted November 2, 2008 #7 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I don't understand???? Why would anyone pay to downgrade from CC to Aquaclass? What akes you think it's a downgrade? X lists AC as the category above CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohhbother Posted November 2, 2008 Author #8 Share Posted November 2, 2008 OP here -- another question: If we do this, we can choose stateroom #1650 or one of the forward staterooms on that same deck #1508, 1510, etc. Any advice as to one location over the other?

Gonzo70 Posted November 2, 2008 #9 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I don't understand???? Why would anyone pay to downgrade from CC to Aquaclass? Aqua Class is a higher category. With Aqua Class you receive all CC benefits plus a host of others (i.e. dining in Blu, free use of some fee areas of spa, free bottled water in cabin, free scents in cabin etc.).

Gonzo70 Posted November 2, 2008 #10 Share Posted November 2, 2008 OP here -- another question: If we do this, we can choose stateroom #1650 or one of the forward staterooms on that same deck #1508, 1510, etc. Any advice as to one location over the other? One tends to feel more motion in staterooms near the front versus the middle, so if seasickness is an issue for you the front might not be a good choice. There is risk of some noise for staterooms under the pool (from people moving around deck chairs), but hopefully they made adequate insulation to prevent this. I personally would opt for a stateroom closer to the middle than front (and if you can find one in the area that bumps out that would be my top choice as it is rumored the balconies may be a bit larger).

dmk Posted November 2, 2008 #11 Share Posted November 2, 2008 The price is great! My only concerns would be the location of the cabins . I don't care to be under the pool decik. Been there done that and lived to regret it. My other concern is Blu. I'm waiting to here just what kind of food is served. If none of this matters to you, I'd go for the AQ Class.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ohhbother ! Given the cabins you listed, I would go with cabin #1650. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrissycat2 Posted November 3, 2008 #13 Share Posted November 3, 2008 We did it as well! We upgraded to Aquaclass....lot's of nice benefits being in AC! I'm not going to hear noise from the pool because my husband and I will be passed out in the room! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohhbother Posted November 3, 2008 Author #14 Share Posted November 3, 2008 OP here -- we decided to go for the upgrade. It ended up being an additional $140 total. We chose stateroom 1650. Thanks for all your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BethV114 Posted November 4, 2008 #16 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I disagree, why would Celebrity give extra sailing credits to Suite and CC cabins and not to Aqua Class if it was an upgrade... Aqua Class is definitely an upgrade from Concierge Class. Both come with two cruise credits, welcome champagne, flowers, fruit, upgraded bedding, etc. However, of the two, only Aqua Class also includes dining in Blu, use of the Persian Gardens and access to the Relaxation Room, not to mention other in-cabin amenities such as bottled waters and infused iced teas delivered to your cabin daily and the welcome spa kit, as well as ambient sound, lighting and aromatic infusions. Also, I believe that a continental breakfast will be made available in Blu to Aqua Class and suite guests only, not Concierge Class. With all of those differences, I'm pretty confident that AC is an upgrade from CC and I can't wait to check out our AC cabin on 11/30!!:D:eek::D:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not indicated on their web site which states clearly that CC and suites get two credits. No mention of Aqua Class. I don't believe the Celebrity website has been fully updated yet to take account of Solstice's new features. I mean, they haven't even had a chance to post actual photos of the ship yet, and still have the artists' renderings. However, it has been confirmed by many CCers who have posed the question to their TAs and Celebrity that AC cabins do, indeed, receive two cruise credits. Aside from that issue, I believe the fact that AC cabins are listed above CC cabins on the Celebrity website, in addition to the host of extra amenities that are associated with those cabins over and above what CC cabins receive, clearly illustrate that AC cabins are considered by Celebrity to be an upgrade from CC. May I ask what, other than the lack of clear information regarding the two cruise credits, leads you to believe that AC is not an upgrade from CC? I'm having a hard time understanding your reasong.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you say they are offering an extra credit than I will take your word for it. CC cabin pricing was also higher at first although that might have changed.
