constellation side cc or family veranda

[1webster]

I'm traveling on Constellation soon with my wife and 12 year old son. We had booked CC class, port side towards aft, (vista deck 7). A family oceanview veranda popped up for the same price . It's on sky deck (9). The downside I see is giving up the cc perks and I'll be below the seaside grill.

Basically I'm giving up cc for a bigger room and bigger balcony.

Can anyone give their thoughts on pros and cons.

Thanks

The extra space with a 12 year old would make this an option

I would grab quickly.

 

These cabins are sold out as soon as they are released.

Same price, no brainer: grab the FV. The CC perks are not to die for, but the large balcony and the extra room with a 12 year old in tow is to die for.

Thanks

I was concerned after reading some posts about the noise from the seaside grill above me. I can sleep through anything but my wife is a bit of a light sleeper.

Anyone have any trouble with noise staying aft on sky (9) deck?

I had a FV on the Connie and what will be above you will be the outside part of the grill. It did not have much going on at night there.

The only thing you may notice is early in the morning when there may be some noise from people having breakfast.

Some like to sit on the Balcony ane Guitar Player who is there till about 10ish , after that the area is usually pretty quiet.d Listen to th

We had an aft facinng CC cabin next to one of the corner, rear facing FV cabins on the Constellation. We had drinks and pleasantries with our neighbors in the FV cabin two or three times.

 

Our deck had more square footage than did theirs but their cabin was a lot larger than our CC cabin. Bear in mind that the deck on the FV's isn't small. In fact they are probably 2 1/2 times larger than the typical balcony on a side facing CC Cabin.

 

As a previous poster staed - the FV's (as well as the aft facing CC's) go as soon as they are released. Book now and you won't regret it. :D

Thanks for the advice. Took the FV.
