miss-heli Posted February 21, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Just about to book our first cruise with Celebrity. Am very grateful for all the info on this forum ( in particular the wonderful cabin spreadsheet) Have narrowed the choice of cabin down to a 2c Aft. Could anyone please confirm which cabins in this location have the larger balcony 6301 to cabin ? (6302/3) already reserved. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Please refer to the review (links below) to find the right cabin. Deck 6 is not a good choice on S-Class ships. However, last 8 balconies on both sides are larger. Balconies 6291-6303 are slightly larger (deeper), partially open. 6289 is a bit larger too (angled) (Solstice, Equinox, Eclipse). The Silhouette and the Reflection have one more balcony of this kind (last 9 balconies). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you aware that 2C's have partially obstructed views--by the lifeboats? This means you will not be able to look down to the water, only out. Also, since there are no aft elevators on S class, it's a bit of a hike to get to the midship elevators any time you want to go anywhere. If the price of this cabin is great, it may be worth it. Personally on my 4th S class cruise I have been lucky to get a cabin right by the midship elevators and I'm very excited about it. I can recommend the 2B's on 'the hump' on the 6th floor--great location AND views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure Deck 6 does not offer the best cabins but the cost per person to move to the next grade (2B) is £500 ($750). I am just trying to work out the best on offer in my price range:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JoePDX Posted February 21, 2013 #7 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I too would try for the 2C's near the mid ship elevators. We were in 6246 on Equinox and really enjoyed it. Obstruction was nearly non existant, unless you want to look straight down. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovemychoos Posted February 21, 2013 #8 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Well, we really like deck 6, and we've been in 6236 on Eclipse, 6306 on Equinox, and have booked 6301 on Equinox for end April :-) I know it's a long walk back to the cabin from the middle of the ship, but to be honest, we find we need to walk off the fantastic meals,lol We never found the view a problem in 6236 (hump cabin) and know that the top the the Tuscan Grill will be our 'view down' but it doesn't bother us in the slightest. The cabins at the back of the ship don't get much passing 'traffic' and we found it really quiet. Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What cruise are you considering? Silhouette .....12 night from Venice. The only cabins at the offer price are 2c. 2b and above are not reduced at the moment. I am tempted to wait and see what happens but have my flights booked already and don't want to miss out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary loves to travel Posted February 21, 2013 #10 Share Posted February 21, 2013 If from a deck 6 balcony one looks down onto the lifeboats (but unobstructed view out towards ocean?), what is the view from a deck 7 balcony (on the side, not aft). Thanks, Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am tempted to wait and see what happens but have my flights booked already and don't want to miss out Well then you should def book it; and if prices go down, you may have an option to move if you choose to. Sounds like a great trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that the rear cabins would be quiet with little passing traffic. Some people have complained about vibration from thrusters when docking. As we are on a port intensive cruise this may be a problem. Did u find any issue with this. Thanks Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Helen Thruster caused vibration varies depending on water current, wind speed/direction and depth of water. In most cases, you won't feel anything.....but in some situations you may feel vibration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted February 22, 2013 #14 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I have been in 6303 before and disagree with the statement that deck 6 is not good. I was happy with the price for my cabin and the only obstruction was looking down. Under the balcony is the roof of a Specialty restaurant but the balcony is a good size and the cabin very nice.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loverofmilfs Posted February 23, 2013 #15 Share Posted February 23, 2013 We had an aft on Eclipse transatlantic, was fantastic, would definitely have an aft cabin again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
