Wow!!
What a wonderful experience the Celebrity Aqua class voyage is! We have travelled on Cunard in suites - dining in the Grills and Mauritania restaurant, but we have never felt quite so indulged and pampered as in the Blu restaurant. To watch your muesli be 'created' tableside is the most perfect way to start the day - closely followed by the taste of fruity smoothies, parfaits and an array of cooked breakfasts, The service was that of a top notch hotel, each waiter(and the head-waiter) brightening the morning with just enough interesting talk to please even the grumpiest 'early- morningers'. We immediately booked a second cruise in Aqua class as we both need to be cherished like that again! Oh, I forgot that all the other meals were culinary delights, too. Well done Celebrity!

Very attractive. Could do with a few drawers, but pillow choices were great - I even got a body pillow to ease my broken foot!!

Opinion: Agree Comment by Buckley, Rhyl (16 Mar 10 11:47) about this REVIEW
Must agree with all you have written,well worth the extra if you shop around Aqua class on some cruises is not that much dearer but that seems to be the cabin class that sells out quickly.

I am going the 16th Jan the ultimate Caribbean with Celebrity in Aqua clas, apart from the use of Blu restaurant what other advantages do you have.

The other major benefit was the free use of the Persian Garden relaxation room, steam room and sauna. There was always plenty of room in there when we went in!

Hi can you help? In my ignorance dont know a lot about this ship. is the Aqua class something that you book before travelling or is it standard on the ship? Many thanks

You book before you go - it is a level above Concierge class - but the luxury is brilliant! We never thought that the grill class on Cunard was worth all the extra cash, but this is well worth the relatively small difference in price. We are Yorkshire folk, and my husband likes value for money, but he thought this was top notch!
