Creator's Key Takeaways

We recently sailed in an Aquaclass stateroom on Celebrity Excel, and we absolutely loved some of the perks, barely touched others, and honestly, there were a few things that were pretty disappointing.

The cabins are actually the exact same cabins as regular verandas. So, you're not getting a bigger cabin. You're just getting the same cabin with extra benefits.

The second major benefit is the exclusive access to Blue Restaurant, and I have to say it's hands down absolutely amazing.

For us at $300 total for two of us, it was absolutely hands down worth it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check the menus on the Celebrity app before booking to ensure there are dishes you will enjoy.
Try Aqua Class on a shorter cruise (3-5 days) to test if it's worth it for you.
Use the Thermal Suite in the evenings when it's less crowded.

YouTube Video Description

If you’re debating whether to spend hundreds (or even thousands) more on a Celebrity Aqua Class stateroom, this video will help you decide if it’s truly worth the extra cost — or if you’re better off booking a regular balcony instead. This video gives you the full picture — beyond the marketing. 👉 Is Celebrity Aqua Class worth it? 👉 Should you upgrade — or save your money? 👉 Is the Thermal Suite really included (and how crowded does it get)? 👉 What is Blu restaurant actually like? 👉 Which Aqua Class perks matter… and which don’t? 👉 Is Aqua Class better than buying spa access separately? 👉 Who Aqua Class is perfect for — and who should skip it entirely? 👉 What surprised us on Celebrity Xcel (good AND bad)? This experience is based on sailing Aqua Class on Celebrity Xcel, one of Celebrity’s newest Edge Class ships. I also explain how Aqua Class compares across Edge, Apex, Beyond, and Ascent. 🛳️ 🛳️ 🛳️ Contact me to help you plan an amazing cruise - https://cruiseandtravelnetwork.com/ 🛳️ 🛳️ 🛳️
