missmimi40 Posted February 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Hi, I have never cruised with Celebrity so please could someone help with this. MyDH & I like to use the heated beds and watch the scenery whilst we gently float by. Is there a package offered/how much does it cost to use this area. We are on an 8 night cruise to the Norwegian Fjords with 2 sea days so are looking forward to relaxing in this area.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constantcruiser Posted February 27, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I think Persian Gardens would be very inviting on a cold-weather cruise. The times we sailed on Celebrity ships in the Caribbean, I found it uncomfortably warm. There are two price options--you can purchase a one-day package (for about $25 if I remember correctly), or there's another option that allows you to use Persian Gardens as often as you like throughout the cruise. Next to the room with the heated ceramic beds, there is a sauna and a steam room that are included at the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare keesar Posted February 27, 2015 #3 Share Posted February 27, 2015 If you sail in Aqua Class, you can use the Persian Gardens free every day. Also, if you are an Elite member on Celebrity (Royal Caribbean Diamond and Diamond Plus), you will get a coupon for one free day. Hope this helps.

justcrusn Posted February 28, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 28, 2015 If you sail on a solstice class ship, the heated tile loungers have a beautiful picture window. We have not yet tried an m class ship, but have been told by others that is is a closed room. :-( To do what you want I suggest you choose an s class ship Enjoy your cruise!

We did it one time on the Summit with is a M class ship. That was 2010 and it cost $175.00 for 2 for the week. Sure it is a lot more now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on an 8 night cruise to the Norwegian Fjords with 2 sea days so are looking forward to relaxing in this area.:) The Persian Gardens on the S class ships have windows to look out and the areas are very bright. They also have the loungers. The Persian Gardens on the M class ships do not have windows, is a dark area and only has a bench that is like a church pew. Very few can sit on that bench without rubbing shoulders. Another problem with the bench is you get the people who becasue there are sitting so close like to carry on a conversation. On either one 30 minutes is the recommended time as a courtesy to use especially if the area is full. If you don't see people waiting then staying longer is up to you. The S class also has the relaxation room at the front of the ship that is a nice area happy cruising. 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixOneTwo Posted March 1, 2015 #8 Share Posted March 1, 2015 The Elite coupon for a free day pass is only good on PORT days. We were on Silhouette last month on a 7-day Caribbean itinerary and I bought the weekly pass, which was $75 plus gratuity. If your ship doesn't have individual beds and a view, then it wouldn't be worth it, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynbar Posted March 1, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) As mentioned above, unlimited use of the Persian Garden is included if you book an Aqua Class room, so that is well worth considering. If you are booked in a lower class room and are beyond final payment, you can usually upgrade yourself as long as it requires you to pay at least a little more (confirm with the Celebrity rep on the phone that you can keep any perks you have.) We love the Persian Garden on the S class ships, a beautiful view and comfortable loungers make it a winner for us, we go almost every day and love it.

bvocruise Posted March 2, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Do you have to pay a fee or book a spa treatment to use the relaxation room? I thought some people have posted it is now open to anyone or they do not check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaWatch Posted March 2, 2015 #12 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Thank you for this info it is very helpful. We were quoted $75 for a 6 day pass for our upcoming Caribbean cruise on the Silhouette - can only be bought on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought some people have posted it is now open to anyone or they do not check. We have used the relaxation room many times, once in cabin 1504 we were only two doors away. I'm not sure what the specific rule is, but no one has EVER questioned,stopped us, or asked. It is a very quiet place to read, and an AWESOME place to watch arrival in port. People arrive and leave who have scheduled massages, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Elite coupon will get us a day pass to the heated beds/sauna, but is it also good for the Relaxation room? The one and only time that we were AQ on a Solstice class ship, we were stopped at kiosk in front of the RR and asked for our card. All we were doing was getting some lime water out of the dispenser. I've never read that it was opened to everyone. Only those in an AQ. However, did I read somewhere that the RR was being removed and turned into something else, like a Suite? :confused: Edited March 2, 2015 by Iamthesea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckiePuris Posted March 6, 2015 #17 Share Posted March 6, 2015 From what I've read previously, I'm pretty sure on S class ships that there's two relaxation areas. One is for AQ only, and the other is a relaxation area open to public, often where those waiting for spa treatments wait to be called, but you can sit and just relax there without a treatment appointment.

Kathamo Posted March 6, 2015 #18 Share Posted March 6, 2015 For someone who just wants a day pass, do you find that there is a day or time of day that is less crowded? For example, are earlier sea days better than later sea days in a 7-day cruise, mornings better than afternoons, etc.? I want to treat my mom but I want it to be a good experience.

Iamthesea Posted March 7, 2015 #19 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Port days in the morning (or after most passengers are leaving the ship) are the best. Sea days, mid day are probably best, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
