I would not mind spending extra if the classes were great but rarely are the classes better than average but will definitely use the free classes included with Aqua class.

Can someone please tell me how many complimentary fitness classes you can take when booking Aqua Class during a 12 night cruise?

During summer break there will be more children but cruised on the Ascent 2 weeks ago & we only saw 1 kid onboard. Any time we cruise with the grandkids it is always Royal as they have so much more to offer for kids.

Yes, don't remember what night it was but mid cruise. There were lots of sparkle dresses & shoes from guests & staff who were in the know. The staff passed out glow sticks throughout the audience & it is a time to dance to the cruise directors music.

All EDGE class ships have Pelotons...don't know about the others.

The last cruises we have done there have been 4 bikes but usually not all of them were working. You can use the bikes without a Peloton account & just create an account when you login to the bike. If you want a popular time you need to reserve a bike thru the computer located in the spa.

We have done this & you cannot do it until the ship leaves port but it is very easy to switch.

Thanks was able to upgrade 2 or 3 cruises!!

If Peloton bikes are onboard & working then will most likely take fewer classes. Last time we were on the EDGE there were only half of them working:(

The fine print on the Move Up request states "I will keep the same amenities that I have on my current booking". It looks like if your bid is accepted then you do receive Blu access & we have the drink package so that is not relevant. But if the 3 free fitness classes are included for a Move Up request to Aqua then I would probably submit a request.

If your bid is accepted to Aqua would you also get the free fitness classes?

Yes, have done this many times. Go to the cage & ask for onboard credit out & they give you "special" chips then as you play you recycle the chips with regular chips. Hopefully you walk away with all the $$

We were rarely charged but we did give them periodic cash tips & they learned who we were. On the last 3 cruises my group drank all the Stone beers on board:)

Done Disney and never again...

I have done both and what I did not like about the Oasis class ship was you have to make so many reservations. When I am on vacation I do not want to follow a schedule unlike my normal daily routine. However, as others have said the kids love the RCI ships.

Yes, and we used a shared shuttle which was efficient & cost effective: https://sharedshuttle.it/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw2v-gBhC1ARIsAOQdKY2RpcXlvOgRb_G4udcs-TeEDSqk7bxBqHqo1LDY-1LTVwWg4hBt-oEaAgniEALw_wcB

Hello, there is roll call for this cruise here on CC if you would like to join. We will also be on the August 16, 2024 cruise.

Thanks for sharing your experience and we will likely cancel as well but we will try with the travel agent to change ports and see what happens.

Our cruise on the Serenade has been cancelled on April 22, 2023 due to the ship re-positioning to Denmark for the summer. RCI has offered to rebook us on other cruises in March & April that will not work with our schedules. Has anyone had success with asking to re-book on a cruise leaving from a different port but departing on the same date & keeping the same price & OBC, etc? Any advice or experience you could share would be helpful. Thanks
