Correct, and the Wife and I utilize the drinks package...having the room service charge is just gravy for us. I have priced it out at times vs a Veranda will All Included and Aqua has come out to be about the same, even less at times. We have a 10 day booked in the Med next September on Equinox, this was the exact case on that cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not thinking that $12k for a Celebrity Suite does it for me... nor does $14k for refundable... 😞 Tom Just booked this sailing in a Premium Concierge Class for the two of us All Inclusive + Insurance for $3,600. Going to call later today and see if I can use our Elite category upgrade to an Aqua class suite. We would lose track of each other in the Celebrity Suite😇 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted August 22, 2023 #106 Share Posted August 22, 2023 So, what's considered a "one category upgrade"? I mean, could you go from the lowest Concierge cabin to the lowest AQ ... or would you only get to C2 from there (if that's the correct designation presently)?

Tom If I understand it correctly, if you were in the lowest of the three Concierge class cabins, you could only upgrade to the next Concierge tier. Since we are booked in the highest of the three concierge tiers, theoretically we should be able to upgrade to Aqua class, but I guess we will find out this afternoon when I call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only upgrade within the same super-category. CC to AQ is not allowable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know. We got such a good price on the C1 that I couldn't resist. Not worth an extra $800 to upgrade to Aqua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom No, probably more equivalent to a JS. We have a JS booked on Adventure with a similar itinerary for next February that also priced out at about the same price as an Aqua suite (about $800 more than the Concierge cabin we just booked). The GS was about $1000 more than that for our April cruise (same itinerary). Edited August 22, 2023 by orville99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
