Celebrity "Reflection" is Aqua class worth it?

[Cattitude]

We are going to book a cruise on the Celebrity Reflection and are trying to decide between a balcony or upgrade to balcony "Aqua" class. I am in a wc or scooter and I don't know if the extra cost to upgrade to this class is worth it. You get a private dining room Blu and express boarding and disembarking with other amenities. Has anyone in a WC experienced the Aqua class and is it worth upgrading to?

Thanks,

Calypso

Have not personally experienced Celebrity's Aqua Spa Class cabins. Have found some photos on the internet that might help you and have posted the links below.

I recently cruised with my stepdaughter, who has MS and uses a wheelchair. (She rented a power scooter for the cruise.)

 

We were in Aqua Class on Celebrity Reflection, (Room 1524, to be exact) and it was a wonderful room - extremely roomy, the door opened automatically when the room key was inserted (and there was a push-button opening from inside the room), the balcony was ramped for accessibility, the bathroom was large enough for her to use her power scooter ... I could go on and on.

 

This was her second cruise (my first) and her second time booking Aqua Class. And we would definitely do it again.

 

I do have a travel blog and I've written about our experience on the cruise ship.

 

I hope this info is helpful.

Hi AIP Traveler,

Thanks for the feedback and I am going to request cabin 1524. Where can I read your travel blog?

Thanks,

Thank you for sharing the blog info, Marlee and Rich. (I'm brand new to this forum, so I wouldn't have known where to look. You've educated me!)

 

Calypso, the post that includes photos of the room is called "It's All About MEE" dated February 10, 2014. I hope it's helpful, and I hope you have a wonderful cruise!

 

Where are you headed, by the way?

We have also used an accessible AQ cabin when I was still in a wheelchair. Ours was on Equinox and it was very comfortable. I think I also had a scooter rental but did not use it going to Blu. My husband pushed my wheelchair there instead.

Enjoy your trip.

I LOVE Aqua class. I loved the special feeling it gave me . But... My DH and a friend who cruises (own cabin) didn't care for it, so I get outnumbered :( I really liked the Blu menu especially the table side prepared muesli in the morning, YUM ! I also could have laid on the heat tile beds overlooking the water all day. I think if you are even thinking about it you should give it a try.

I was in AQ accessible cabin 1538 on Equinox and while I LOVED the suite, the menu at Blu just isn't my cup o tea. And, on some of the ships, the tables in Blu are so close together that its tough getting a wheelchair or scooter to a table. As a matter of fact, the whole business of every table being only inches from one another was a big negative for me. I just don't like being squished in and hearing every conversation at three tables in each direction.
