Taishartrueblood Posted September 2, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Good evening, thank you for any help. I am looking at the cost of upgrading my room and part of the benefit of upgrading to the AquaClass is that you get free access to the Persian Gardens which is something i will enjoy. Does anyone know what the weekly cost of that is? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted September 2, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) Have you used the Persian Gardens on any of the M class ships? It isn’t the same as the S class ships . On the M class no heated loungers but rather a heated bench and no view to the ocean Edited September 2, 2021 by jelayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zitsky Posted September 3, 2021 #8 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I bet you still have to be really really quiet! On the Equinox people would stay on those loungers forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgmn Posted September 3, 2021 #9 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I had my first visit to Persian Gardens yesterday on Silhouette. A little underwhelmed. The steam room was nice but I couldn't stand more than 10 minutes in there. The heated loungers again nice but didn't spend more than an hour there altogether. I don't think I would pay extra to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerunner Posted September 3, 2021 #10 Share Posted September 3, 2021 The persian gardens all depends, some love it some could care less on it. Personally I find it great after a day in sun out on the Caribbean Clean the lotion right off you from the rain shower to the steam rooms. Personally the Cold room on the Reflection was my favorite going back and forth to the Steam room and dry sauna. I know I use them almost every day for an hour or more my last cruise, 11 day on Reflection. Its all personal I find it worth it overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelicanLvr Posted September 3, 2021 #11 Share Posted September 3, 2021 In the old pre-Covid days X used to sell unlimited access to the Persian Gardens for about $100 per person for a 7 day cruise. Is that still being offered? Maybe that might interest the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jelayne Posted September 3, 2021 #13 Share Posted September 3, 2021 They still have the passes but from some reports they are currently limiting the number of people in the Persian Gardens at one time and limiting the time you can occupy a lounger, remain in the steam room, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many times I've stopped by only to see all the loungers taken up and most of the people appearing to be sleeping in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to enjoy both then worth the upgrade. If you are happy with the MDR then compare the cost of a veranda cabin plus a few days or full cruise pass for Persian... If you want a better dining experience but are not so bothered about the M class Persian then compare costs of veranda plus dining package vs upgrade... All depends what is important to you...

I can't sit on those loungers for too long. I get too warm. I enjoy the steam room. I don't stay too long. Didn't someone say they're going to an appointment system for Persian Gardens?

Some cruises we may, like you, spend an hour there, other cruises we simply don’t bother. However, we have spoken to others who, like bikerunner, really enjoy the S class Persian and always book Celebrity Aquaclass as a consequence. Big diffence between S and M class, on M class we never bother visiting. We did try it on the Millie after experiencing on Equinox and more or less walked straight back out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing was said to us about limiting time (though we only stayed an hour) and all loungers bar one were in use . Nobody was using masks, I'm not sure if we were meant to.

trabeler Posted September 4, 2021 #21 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Cost for a one person pass on the Millennium (7 day Alaska sailing) a few weeks ago was $148 plus 18% tip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
