warmwinds Posted September 3, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I could have sworn that when I first booked our upcoming AQ cabin (admittedly a long time ago), the language on the website was something like "in addition to the Concierge Class amenities, Aqua Class cabins include..." Now I don't see that anymore, and we are some of the few freaks who actually appreciated the welcome bottle of sparkling wine and the daily hors d'oeuvres. Did it EVER say that or am I mistaken?

Aqua has always received all the concierge amenities plus dining in Blu, the Persian gardens and in room water and herbal tea. I believe upgrade soaps and lotions as well. So unless there is a recent change you should get your bubbly! Edited September 3, 2014 by maxsales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokiePoq Posted September 3, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Aqua has always received all the concierge amenities plus dining in Blu, the persian gardens and in room water and herbal tea. I believe upgrade soaps and lotions as well. Glad to hear this....didn't realize you got the CC amenities and the AQ ones. We have CC on our upcoming cruise followed by AQ and I thought we'd miss out on some of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frogsgirl Posted September 3, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 3, 2014 When we stayed CC we received (sparodically) extra large gold coloured bath towels, is this something that we may get in AQ? Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Frances Posted September 3, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 3, 2014 When we stayed CC we received (sparodically) extra large gold coloured bath towels, is this something that we may get in AQ? Thanks :) Those are beach towels. The stewards place them in your cabin the night before a port that has beaches:D Just bring them back to the room at the end of the day and your steward will remove them on turn down.

suesie Posted September 3, 2014 #10 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I have just returned from aqua on the eclipse on 30th August. You receive two small bottles of water each day and iced tea- changed daily. Three pieces of fruit which I guess if you ate would be replenished. A small work out type bag with slippers face spritzer and lip balm. The soaps etc are the same as concierge and the normal verandah cabins ( we were in a verandah cabin on deck 6 on the eclipse in May 2014) There is perhaps a slightly enhanced shower mat on some days ( slightly thicker) towels are the same and the gold ones are for the pool. The shower wasn't that good in my opinion. If you used the jets on the tower the pressure was lost from the shower head. Never saw a pillow menu. You could have one complimentary on demand programme on the tv( we didn't use that) Room service menu didn't seem much different to the other classes. Blu was fine Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogsgirl Posted September 3, 2014 #11 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Thanks Christine, I seem to remember they had Concierge round the outside, quite fancy really, but now you say beach towel I understand the sparodic nature of them:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warmwinds Posted September 3, 2014 Author #12 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Susie, did you get the sparkling wine in your cabin and the afternoon canapés? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csgseattle Posted September 3, 2014 #13 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Just off the Solstice in AQ We did have the sparkling wine and afternoon canapes. Our room steward was very generous with the bottles of water (about 16 oz ea), we always had four to six of them in our room. Sailed AQ on Infinity in 2012 and there were some differences this time: No Flowers Just a cheap fabric tote (like a fabric grocery bag), no nice canvas one with pleather handles No nightly chocolates - just chocolate covered oreos on the first formal night No Pillow menu - but my daughter requested and received a body pillow None of this made a great deal of difference to us - YMMV, tho. We had an awesome cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEZMARYLOU Posted September 3, 2014 #14 Share Posted September 3, 2014 : Do you receive extra deep discounts for treatments? No, the discounts are based on your status with the Captains Club and are usually only for port days. There may be discounted prices if you book 3 treatments but nothing exceptional.

Cruise a holic Posted September 3, 2014 #15 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) :oWhat is a spa concierge? Where are located in the Spa? How comprehensive and numerous are the wellness channels? Do you receive extra deep discounts for treatments? The wellness channels- just sell spa services. The only real differences between cc and aq is blu and the access to the persian garden. The tea- IMO is horrible and the bath soaps the same as CC. The shower head in AQ is different. But truly the location of the cabins isn't good. You are directly below the pool deck and gym and it is very noisey. We heard chairs moving very early in the AM and cleaning the decks at night. No "discounts" for treatments. We now prefer CC and dining in speciality restaurants more often-or daily. Edited September 3, 2014 by Cruise a holic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warmwinds Posted September 3, 2014 Author #16 Share Posted September 3, 2014 We're on the M class and have one of the afts so I'm very happy with our cabin - will be the first time we're not in a CC aft, will be a little different to be so high up (deck 11) rather than our usual deck 8.

And the ones I'll be looking for when I sail Aqua for the first time in December. Just more confusion caused by an inconsistent website. Where do you find these e-brochures? Celebrity's Brochures are a great source of info (far better than their website... As some care is definitely taken in their production... Not a whole lot of confiscating info, or spelling errors :rolleyes: like found on their website) You can look at the Brochures (2014 thru 2016 Itineraries worldwide) on line or order hard copies (highly recommended) the photos, ship info, itineraries... And the "fine print" section make them something every Celebrity cruiser should have... Plus they make you drool for your next cruise !! You can see them here on the Celebrity website = http://www.celebritycruises.com/view-our-brochures?cS=Footer Or order them thru the Website = https://secure.celebritycruises.com/order-brochure/order-brochure?cS=Footer&ICID=Cel_11Q4_web_hp_ftr_brochures Or the Contact Us Page & Phone Numbers = https://secure.celebritycruises.com/contact-us/contact-us-domestic?cS=Footer&ICID=Cel_11Q4_web_hp_ftr_custsupport Looking forward to hearing about your cruise... Assuming that you go before us in December. As we too are Concierge Aft Sunset Balcony fans on the M-Class ships who will be making the move up to Deck 11 (Sunset Balcony again) and Aqua Class.
