A few Questions about Soltice ...hoping it applies to Equinox!

[TEXASMUNK]

First, thanks for taking the time to answer these questions...

 

We are Elite. What benefits are extended on the Soltice Class ships?

 

Aqua Class Booking: What benefits are there to booking this level of cabin?

 

Blu: Can you explain Blu? If you book Aqua class and you select second seating are you assigned a table at Blu? Or the main dining room and make reservations for Blu? Any info or explanation would be appreciated.

 

Again, thanks for the info!!!!

As far as Elite status it is the same on all the Celebrity ships, no different perks because it is the Solstice. We did receive a sheet of pretty useless coupons, used one for the interent package.

 

Was not in Aqua class, but if you are you are assigned to Blu for dining, you will have a table assigned to you in that dining room. If you wish to eat in the MDR you need to check with the maitre 'd to see if they have space available for that particular evening.

We were in aqua class on the solstice on the jan. 25 sailing and loved it; so much so that we booked for next year.

 

We had late seating in blu every night...the food was exceptional!! At first we were a little leery of not being in a large venue, but after the first night knew we had made the right decision. The service was excellent and food, for the most part, was terrific...like the mdr, if you don't like your choice they will bring you something else...you can also ask for selections that are not on the menu, i.e., we had escargot 2 nights and often ordered baked potatoes...the dessert was a little weak, but their ice cream was very good.

 

You also get cabin amenities that are a bit upgraded from concierge class...fresh flowers, fresh fruit, canapes, champagne, upgraded thick bath sheets, robes and slippers, a spa shower head, etc. You also have free access to the persian gardens, whereas all others have to pay a per/day charge.

 

We upgraded at the last minute because of a price reduction, so it was well worth it....

 

Have a good trip.

The food was exceptional in Blu. Well worth what ever they are charging extra for Aquaclass. I cannot imagine crusing anything but as AC.

 

You also get all the bottled water you want and in the bathroom they have steam free mirrors and great ice tea in the room each day.

 

The Solstice was a fantastic experience.

We may try AQ in the furture--what cabin locations do you rec.? we would prefer not to be under the pool or a noisy location..

 

Someone also said there is a spiral stairway to the spa lounge?

[CelebrityMan]

Hi,

 

We enjoyed Aqua Class immensely!! It was the best upgrade we ever gave ourselves (other than a suite).

 

The various amenities are delightful, our cabin steward made the experience delightful, and our forward location near the Relaxation Lounge and Aqua Spa Concierge was fantastic! If you are a light sleeper, though, and easily annoyed by sounds on the floor of the deck above, avoid the Deck 11 -Forward rooms as they are under the gym.

 

Yes, hcat (hi, my friend!), there is circular staircase. Check out the photos at the following link:

Even with all the amenities, we would cruise in Aqua Class again just for the pleasure of dining in Blu. What a true delight!!
