roseleblanc114 Posted March 29, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2017 We will be on the Equinox in January. First time cruising. We are booked in an Aquaclass and saw that there have been people that received a bottle of sparkling wine in the room and also canapés each day. I don't see that listed on the celebrity site and was wondering if anyone that has cruised lately in Aquaclass can advise if they have in fact received this? Thanks in advance.

jonsmum Posted March 29, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Our last AQ cruise was this time last year. Yes we got Sparkling wine; No to canapes. Not sure if it has changed since then. Hope not as our next AQ sailing is in August! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo70 Posted March 29, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Those have been standard perks of Aqua Class since the category was created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted March 29, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Sparkling wine and canapes were included in February. The sparkling wine was not in cabin as it had been in the past, but the cabin steward told us he had it for us and would bring it to us chilled when we wanted it. For the canapes there was a form in the cabin to complete indicating that we did want the canapes. They no longer just leave them in each cabin. We don't care for them so we never completed the form.

Northern Aurora Posted March 29, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Our recent experience has been similar to that of Jelayne. While we had the inexpensive sparkling wine in our stateroom upon our arrival we desired the canapés we needed to complete the request form daily. Hope you enjoy the Equinox. We have completed five cruises on her and she is one of our favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ghstudio Posted March 29, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Frequent cruisers know that it's kind of a game. Celebrity's web site lists perks (and other things) that differ from actual passenger experience. For a very long time, aqua passengers received everything that concierge passengers received plus some things like water. The web site has never said that aqua gets everything in concierge...and of course aqua doesn't get the boarding lunch. The sparkling wine (I'm being kind) is not listed as an aqua perk, but somehow it's always appeared or appeared after asking. One asks because you can often exchange it for something else although that's not posted anywhere...in fact on some cruises they have been know to say that they aren't allowed to exchange it. As I said, it's kind of a game. The wine isn't worth fretting about although the $28 credit towards a better bottle of wine is nice (that' what we seem to get when we ask the sommelier if we could exchange the wine). I know I've rambled...but you definitely get what's on the web page...and if it's not on the celebrity web page, it may or may not appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marieps Posted March 29, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 29, 2017 We received sparkling wine on Equinox in October and on Reflection on January. Canapes as well with each cruise, w/o any request form. We DID request the canapes be switched to shrimp cocktail...which was no hassle. We even got a second bottle of sparkling wine offered by our steward to take to the card room to play dominos. If the wine isn't in your room, just ask. The attendant may be waiting to serve it until a time when you are ready to enjoy it, so he can keep it cold for you.

gdpups Posted March 30, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 30, 2017 On our January Silhouette cruise our cabin steward let us know the sparkling wine was available and would be chilled whenever we requested it. Having the drink package we never did ask for it. We asked to exchange the canapés for cheese and crackers which were delivered every day without completing the form, so I guess each ship or at least each cabin steward is a bit different. On Equinox again in May, so we'll see how it's done then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Equinox again in May, so we'll see how it's done then. On the Millennium last fall, we merely asked our room steward to bring the canapes ever day - no form required. He was also pleased to exchange our sparkling for an inexpensive still white wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
