There is a new class system being applied to cruise ships such as the Celebrity cruise line. Celebrity plans to launch exclusive dining rooms on their next ship, the Celebrity Solstice. This 130-seat dinning room, named Blu, will be the dining room reserved for passengers in the AquaClass.

The AquaClass is a new range of cabins aimed for spa lovers. These rooms will come with unlimited access to the spa relaxation rooms and aromatherapy and steam room. And also they will be given the privilege of dining in the Blu dining room. There will be 130 seats in the dining room, allowing just enough room for the 130 AquaClass cabins available. They are allowing other guests who are not part of the AquaClass to book a night in the Blu dining room, but it is on a “space available basis,” which doesn’t give very good odds.

Celebrity isn’t the revolutionary in dining classes on ships, the more well known for this cruise line would be Cunard. On the Cunard ships, the two classes (the most expensive, and the others) have long eaten separately, the more expensive cabin’s eating in the more exclusive dining rooms. Most other cruise lines offer the same opportunities and public areas for all their passengers, either in the least expensive or cheaper cabins.

The Celebrity cruise line is also offering other new improvements for their cabins. They asked experts from travel agents to hoteliers, to get the best recommendations for upgrades. Some of which are; a foot rail in showers for easy leg shaving (which was one of the first ideas the panel came up with,) better storage (by raising the height of the beds, allowing passengers to store bigger suitcases underneath, and leaving more room in closets, and more soothing colors in the rooms and areas, as the experts say that bright colors are out.
