shot2bits Posted May 30, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2018 It’s been a while since I posted anything on here, but I have a question; are there any rooms to avoid on deck 6? I’m thinking especially of obstructed view, noise etc. My TA didn’t give me the option of selecting a specific room, just said we were deck 6. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks.

Sent from my iPad using Forums Hello shot2bits Spent 25 days in 6542 in April on Transatlantic Crossing and would NOT recommend it. No drawer space to talk about unless you count 3 small drawers, (less than an A4 sheet of paper and shallow) in the miniscule dressing table (virtually only room for the tea tray and nowhere to move it to). The top drawer was hopeless as it housed the fixed hairdryer. Bedside tables were exactly that. A table with a shelf underneath. Hanging space was a bit cramped and there were 3 small wire racks tucked in one corner above the hanging rail which was low down. DH's shirts and DJ were scraping the floor. Suitcases went under the beds. Difficuty storing hand luggage/shoes/bits & bobs. Safe was on a shelf on lower hanging rail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vitalsign Posted May 30, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 30, 2018 We were in 6588 on the 25 day transatlantic crossing and there was a lot of vibration when travelling fast and into the wind The balcony doors were very difficult to open when the wind was blowing towards them In fact we didn't use our balcony much at all and so will not book one after our already booked cabin end of June We moved the small table in the room to the side of the dressing table and put the tea/coffee tray on that so we had more room We had plenty room for all the clothes needed for 25 days and I had 23kg of luggage The ship is fantastic and great food Loads of entertainment venues and the atrium is beautiful I would recommend you book a cabin using the tel no online or visit your TA again and get them to do it as you booked with them it's £48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jake 26 Posted May 30, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I don't think there are any obstructed view cabins. The lifeboats are set high inboard on deck 4 which is an entertainment/restaurant deck. Deck 5 above also has no accommodation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shot2bits Posted May 31, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I don't think there are any obstructed view cabins.The lifeboats are set high inboard on deck 4 which is an entertainment/restaurant deck. Deck 5 above also has no accommodation. Yes, the only reason I asked was because when we were on Celebrity Eclipse they had a gantry that ran the length of the deck , used for painting and cleaning. This was parked just above our balcony obstructing most of the sky! Given that apparently there isn’t a problem on deck 6, I don’t feel inclined to spend anymore just to book a room!

Reina del Mar Posted June 11, 2018 #8 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I would go back to the travel agent, ask to look at deck plans and pay £48 to book a specific cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitalsign Posted June 12, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 12, 2018 So would I as I would not want to be in a forward cabin - midships to aft is much better PS it is very unlikely you'll be travelling at full speed 22knots on this cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shot2bits Posted June 12, 2018 Author #10 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Thanks for that. I may well go back to them! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtt Posted June 12, 2018 #11 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I think all the std balcony cabins on deck 6 don't have much storage, from seeing comments on facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
