Rare Syd58 Posted September 18 #1 Share Posted September 18 (edited) We’re looking at a cruise on Serenity, but want to book a suite that was refurbished in 2023. Does anyone know which aquamarine veranda suites were refurbished in 2023 or if not, how I might find out? Thanks.

Rare Keith1010 Posted September 18 #2 Share Posted September 18 Very easy. If you look at the deck plan and are using a computer just put your curser over each room and it will show you the date they were refurbished. On smart devices just click on each room.

Rare Keith1010 Posted September 18 #3 Share Posted September 18 This link will take you to the area of the Crystal Website where you see the deck plan for Serenity. https://www.crystalcruises.com/ship/serenity Click on each deck, Then with the diagram you can see which ones are Aquamarine and them place the computer curser over them or click on them to see what year they were refurbished.

Rare Keith1010 Posted September 18 #4 Share Posted September 18 Also I believe the only Aquamarine's refurbished on Serenity are the two on Deck 9. Personally I love the classic ones on Serenity which you can find on Decks 10 and 11. I like the storage and the layout such as two desks.

Ibis Posted September 18 #6 Share Posted September 18 Totally agree with Keith about the Classic Aquamarine suites on Serenity. They offer a beautiful, but not ultra modern decor, as well as tons of storage and two very useful desk/vanity areas each with its own chair. The bath offers a tub as well as separate walk-in shower with no overhead “rain shower”. Definitely our preference but perhaps not for everyone. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Tillie Posted September 18 #7 Share Posted September 18 One "problem" I found with the 2018 Aquamarine on Serenity was that the bed is modern and is open underneath, no bed skirt. As someone who is used to putting luggage under the bed, my OCD would not allow it under those circumstances! 😮 Since I was a solo in the cabin, there was enough room in the closet for my luggage. Your butler would also take it away to store it. I agree that the originals on Serenity is best for storage. Patty 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoselleU Posted September 18 #8 Share Posted September 18 We are currently in a “Classic” A suite and really love it. Fabulous storage and 2 desks. Only negative is no power plugs on the side of the bed. The refurbished suites look great but I will probably choose the classic again on my next cruise. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Claypool Posted September 18 #9 Share Posted September 18 As Ibis pointed out, the Classic Aquamarines still have a bathtub— a “must”, as far as Mr. Claypool is concerned. And they’re great suites in all other aspects, as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patty This wouldn’t bother us, We prefer the more modern look of the Aquamarine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruisemonty Posted September 21 #11 Share Posted September 21 (edited) We loved our updated Aquamarine suite on Symphony, but when we tried to book one on Serenity for our 2025 cruise, we realized that none of the updated Aquamarines are mid-ship, so we booked a classic Aquamarine.

toby324 Posted September 22 #12 Share Posted September 22 We are currently in a classic Aquamarine on Serenity and love it. On the first sea day of this cruise, they did an “open house” where you could visit various different stateroom categories. We love the look of the modern Aquamarine and Sapphire suites but for us, the layout wasn’t quite as good. (Especially the modern Aquamarine which feels quite a bit smaller). I also banged my leg on the bed frame of both the modern Sapphire and Modern Aquamarine suites — something I haven’t done once in our classic room. I think there might be something in the design that makes the bed frame protrude out? (Or maybe I’m just clumsy). The renovated rooms do look stunning but the classic wins out for us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
