In January the first sailing out of each ship had the new menus. Continental no charges but if you ordered anything from the premium side, $9.95 + gratuity. Yes, you have to pay the delivery charge, but you have a wider choice if you do. Concierge just has the same room service breakfast options as all the other grades below them.

That seems strange as the other lower cabins could order hot breakfast items if they paid the service fee... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canapes were always part of AQ Class along with upgraded rm svc menu for bkfst, daily water..then water was cut to 1 welcome water pp. aso welcome bubbly ( ugh,) or on request..use with OJ small vase with 2 stems of flowers AQ canapes in the past included ship's asst choice salami, fruit, cheese, stale crackers shrimp, caviar... NOT SURE IF AQ gets them now!. We will forage at the buffet and bring along some snacks. Beware candy in shops very pricey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I Never said one could not order hot items. You can. Pay the fee. There were no “expanded breakfast menus” for Aqua that we were shown and we got the brand new menus. Choice for room service breakfast was Continental or Premium. If you wanted items under the “Premium” side, which listed hot items such as eggs, bacon etc, you could order and pay the service fee.

The choices you have available on your breakfast room service menu will include items that do not appear on the menu for lower grade cabins. They may or may not be available without paying the service fee, but those below the Aqua level will not even get the option... ... or at least that is what they are still showing as an amenity of the Aqua class cabins....

The Concierge hostess, yes apparently they look after Aqua as well now which surprised us, said “same menu for all but Retreat”. geesh. I m just saying what we experienced and were told.

dtenel Posted August 29, 2023 Author #35 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Thanks so much everyone for your help! One more question as you ask are so smart with what happens on the cruise!!! I see the Deal or No Deal cards you can buy ahead of time, but no real explanation of ow to play. Do you use the same cards that you buy the entire cruise? Do you need to be at the "show" or wherever they play every night? It looks fun, but not sure I want to commit to going every single night. Can anyone tell me what exactly it is?

Celebrity gets the trophy for being able to contradict itself and cause confusion We were on the Equinox in January in Aqua and Summit April/May in Aqua. No canapés. We asked. Nope. Only Retreat. What we experienced: No canapes, no fruit in cabin on embarkation, no key card holder, no herbal tea in room for Aqua. And the multi pack of totes of different sizes was replaced with 1 tote. We had to ask for the wine Wow, we were in Aqua on the Equinox over New Years and got the canapés! I was also told they stopped the tea, I was bummed out because I love iced tea and was really looking forward to that perk. I was also told NO BAG of laundry existed anymore and that laundry was only a la carte, either this was another lie or temporary change. We also had the expanded FREE room service menu, I ordered an omelette. I guess that was changed right after we left too.

The menus were brand new as we were the first departure out of Florida for the Equinox’s schedule. make sense? time wise. so we could not order anything hot other than tea or coffee. Ditto with April/may. and shouldnt make a difference but we were Premium Aqua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad we got the perks when we did but I don’t see us paying for Aqua again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
