SILHOUETTE Obstructed view cabins

[RickT]

Here are a couple pics from 6242 on the Equinox (2C cabin). To my knowledge, all the regular verhandah cabins are the same size with those cabins on the angle part of the hump having slightly larger verandahs.

 

6242 was on the Starboard/Aft side of the hump.

I was concerned the first time that I was in a deck 6 obstructed view cabin. It is not a problem. You can look straight out. You cannot look down and see the water unless you are between divots. The folks above you cannot look straight down and see the water. Deck 6 is fine. I have been on deck 6 many times.

Thanks everyone. We will keep our cabin based on your advise.

here are some photos of our cabin on the Solstice, which should be extremely similar to the corresponding cabin on Silhouette. This is a category 2D, or "fully obstructed". As you can see, the lifeboat is in the way, but there is still a great view. This room also had a nearly triple sized balcony. I also have some photos of a deck 6 cat. 2C on the Equinox which i can post if needed :)

 

 

 

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!! We are booked in cabin 6210 on the Reflection. This will be our first Celebrity cruise and we changed to it from a royal Caribbean sailing because we felt it was a better value.

Would love to see your picture of a 2c on Equinox.

I also like deck 6 and find it great value  on my upcoming cruise paid for a guarantee balcony and got a 2C cabin 6303 on Silhouette. Very quiet area at back of ship with huge balcony. The obstruction is the rooftop of Tuscan grill but you can still see the water from a sitting position. Had this not been a GTY the cost would have been $400 more than what I paid.

If it were me, I would only book an obstructed view cabin on the starboard side. You are only 1 deck above the smoking area on the port side, so expect some cigarette smoke if you are on the port side.

Question.  Do you get any type of noise from the lifeboats when the ship is sailing?  I would be concerned about banging.

Does anyone have photos of 2c staterooms 6258 or 6264  on the Silhouette

No noise from life boats whatsoever they are very stable and I have been in many a cabin on deck six.  I can literally walk everywhere on the ship within minutes don't need crowded elevators. Love the location and always a great price.  However I do choose the back of the ship.

and old post which i came across while looking for comments on 6187 on the celebrity solstice. just wondering drakes2 (if you are still cruising) why you choose the back of the ship? i have just reserved 6187 which is the only partial view cabin available in midships. however there are others available aft hence my query as your preference may relate specifically to solstice.

On S class ships the cabins at the back of ship are a one category upgrade and I always pay for the cheapest veranda when I sail solo. The last couple verandahs are angled therefore larger and I don't have any lifeboats obstructing my view.  Don't mind the extra walk as its good exercise and as we all know we need it to maintain our health. Yes still cruising and I have a cabin on deck 7 midship (all that was left at time of booking) on my upcoming Eclipse in October.

I find the cabins above Blu are also pretty good , they have a larger balcony probably 3 ft longer

you have no view down

Those are the ones I usually book 6302 to 6305. Larger angled balcony they are an upgrade from the cabins on 6 with lifeboat obstructions.

6293 is still at the back of the ship you won't have the angled balcony but there also won't be a lifeboat obstruction. That would be my first choice.

I think that was cabin we had , in post 39 

[austromyrtus]

thank you very much to you both for your recommendation re 6293 with background info & photos - very helpful as i was unaware of the advantages of this rear cabin - i will discuss with my partner - the only negative being the additional distance to the elevators as you pointed out. decision time - many thanks!
