Talex831 Posted February 14, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 14, 2018 We have the sweet sixteen for our upcoming Summit cruise. We can upgrade to A2 for no additional cost. It seems like an easy decision until you look at the balconies. The sweet sixteen is larger and will have sun, the A2 is completely shaded by the overhang of deck 10. I really like my sunshine, but is it worth the sacrifice for Aqua Class. What would you all do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastdance Posted February 14, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 14, 2018 It also depends on the restaurant you want for your meals, along with other amenities...only you can make that decision, so listen to your gut! I am not a sun worshiper, so the choice would be oh so easy to "Go Blu." Your heart knows the answer...we can only answer from our own experience, but a good friend was disappointed in Blu on your ship, I have also been disappointed in Blu, but never cruise on the Summit!

miched Posted February 14, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 14, 2018 It depends on what you are after. A larger balcony that may not be utilized or a more luxurious cruising experience . If you can get one of the balconies on the aft 1133, 1141, 1140, 1138,1130 for a little more you would have the best of both as they are extra large. 1140 is 14ft in depth and has a overhang on half of it. Plus there is easy access to the Sunset Bar and buffet from those aft cabins. On the Summit when we had it there were also full loungers along with the reclining chairs Personally I like and utilize the balcony but realistically you only need so much space and for the extra benefits of Aqua I would definitely choose AQ. The cabin on the M class are also larger in AQ. Out of 20 cruises on Celebrity 18 have been in Aqua and the other two in a balcony guarantee because we couldn’t justify the additional $989.75 for Aqua on a 7 day cruise. If you upgrade to A1 and get a cabin on deck 11 there is no overhang for the balconies along the sides. You are completely exposed to the elements. Happy cruising 🚢🚢🇺🇸🌅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted February 14, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) Aqua without a doubt. Larger cabin, better shower, Blu , Blu, more Captains Club points, footstools on the balcony, did I say Blu;) . Had a sweet 16- too far forward. Large balcony but muchof it exposed to others looking down on you. Balcony only had the standard 2 chairs & small table.

Edinburghgirl1 Posted February 15, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 15, 2018 We didn't have a lounger in cabin 1140 on the Millenium but we just carried one in from the pool deck. Sometimes it was just too hot to sit out as there was little breeze. That was in the South China Sea last October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NantahalaCruiser Posted February 15, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Blu is well worth it - and the cabin is 21 sq. ft. larger (12%). You can always get your sun on one of the outside decks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer your question, Aqua, especially for the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix_dream Posted February 16, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Aqua without a doubt. And if you can grab a cabin on Deck 11, even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaBag Posted February 16, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I would grab the AQ cabin also. However, the OP said the upgrade was to A2. The balcony cabins on deck 11 are all A1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We upgraded to an A2, and when a great A1 became available, we were given the comp Captain's Club one category upgrade to the A1 for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run to make the change before it goes away!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRG Posted February 16, 2018 #15 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Definitely go with the A2 and Blu and the Persian Garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NantahalaCruiser Posted February 17, 2018 #16 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Definitely go with the A2 and Blu and the Persian Garden. Persian Garden on M-class is not as significant a plus as it is on S-class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
