suekay Posted April 11, 2010 #1 Share Posted April 11, 2010 We want to do the Pharaohs cruise on Celebration for the itinerary. We usually stay in a balcony cabin which obviously isn't possible on this ship, but wonder if it's possible to stay in an outside cabin on deck 6 then have easy access to an outside deck by choosing a cabin near an exit door? Would this be possible? Any help/advice much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huddersfieldtourist Posted April 11, 2010 #2 Share Posted April 11, 2010 yes doing as you say on Deck 6 is the closest alernative - there is no exit at 206/207 cabins from memory ( not 100% on that ) but there is at 216/217 and on the landing by the laundry.

CRUISIN LINDA Posted April 11, 2010 #3 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Hi Sue, We have been on the Celebration twice. First time was our first cruise so we treated ourselves to a deluxe on deck 9 (cabin 21) - very nice. Second time we booked late and had a standard outside cabin on a lower deck, which was OK, obviously smaller, but you get what you pay for. One problem I can see with deck 6 is that is is promenade deck, so you will get people walking past your windows all the time. and we noticed people kept their curtains shut!! Another is that the lifeboats are hanging above, so could make cabin dark?? Deck nine is slightly dearer, but the higher up the Celebration you are, the less the "vibration". It's a great old ship though and the staff and entertainment are wonderful. It is really suited to Red sea and Med. Unfortunately, our 2nd trip was in December from Canaries accross the Atlantic to Morocco and it was rough! Hope this helps, Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtt Posted April 11, 2010 #4 Share Posted April 11, 2010 We've stopped in cabins 218/219 not had too many problems, the cabins wern't dark 218 has a double bed and is a little different in shape, we never really had too much of a problem with people outside We are back in cabin 219 on our next cruise as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suekay Posted April 11, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Thank you all for your replies - you've given me a lot to think about now I know my plan is possible but may have some disavantages. I'll have to decide what's most important to us, but I'm leaning towards deck 6 near the exit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenny wren Posted April 11, 2010 #6 Share Posted April 11, 2010 We have had 223 and 225 and they are really spacious with bath !! don't worry about people seeing in your window as there are voile curtains at the window and you can't see in unless you have the light on inside....I have checked !!! we always say it is the nearest you can get to a balcony as you can just walk a little way along the corridor and then out on deck...also close to the lift/stairs and the launderette!!!!!
