IamHungry Posted March 10, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) My friend is staying in another cabin and we are thinking of bidding to Aqua class. If only one of the cabins got to Aqua so the other one is sol on joining the other party at BLU? Edited March 10, 2023 by IamHungry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Fusion FoodsJ Posted March 10, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 10, 2023 SOL is an accurate description...... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare WrittenOnYourHeart Posted June 22, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Unless you're each traveling solo - then as I understand it, the one accepted into Aqua can invite one guest to dine with them. Unless that's changed too. (And even then it could only be one night.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Cruizer Posted June 25, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I've made up a move up bid to Aqua as well--I understand that I will keep the perks I have now (no premium drinks, etc.). I made the move-up bid to IV not suite. My question is this--I will be charged the higher gratuities--but are they only a dollar or so more per day, or are the gratuities actually double plus for Aqua and triple plus for suites?

If you prepaid tips it’s just the tip differential not a whole new tip amount. Aqua only comes with the classic drink package, so if you have that already there is no difference. If you don’t, you will not get it by moving up. Likewise basic internet. Although I’m not sure how internet will work under the new model.

Random Cruizer Posted June 25, 2023 #8 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Thanks! I booked my single IV with all included, so I have classic drinks already. The difference in gratuities just looked so minuscule to me (like 17.50 to 18.00 and 21.00 or something), I wondered if suites actually had grats of 17.50 + 18 + 21 instead of just 21.

No matter the rants, threats and pleading, answer is no There is another thread on this. You get what you pay for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random Cruizer Posted June 25, 2023 #14 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Hey all--the original posts was from months ago--perhaps I should have started a new thread with my own question. I didn't mean to get everyone discussing the original question again, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in Aqua in January and April/May. Twice saw people try to pull this. A woman who said she was travelling solo tried to bring a male friend into the Blu. Answer was a No! She insisted she was told she could. Maitre D said never. The Blu is ONLY for Aqua class. No invites can be extended. He did not cave into her threats, rantings etc. Sometimes info posted here is incorrect. Again. You are entitled to the benefits of the classification you booked. The Maître D said people try it all the time. Even in Luminae on cruise last year a couple tried. They were not allowed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some incorrect information posted on these boards. Sad but true. Blu is for those registered in Aqua Class and for those dining in Luminae on a space available basis. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
