gonecroozin Posted July 15, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I am currently booked in C1 8185 on the Connie next year in the Med. I just noticed FOV 8181 is available to book. Would you take the FOV for the extra room, and its £500 cheaper? Or should I stick with the C1 aft cabin? I have never sailed on a Millenium class before, but I have heard great things about the aft cabins. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCruise Posted July 15, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 15, 2014 If it is available, do not hesitate a second. You gain a bigger cabin with 2 separate areas, a balcony that is twice the size and has views both aft and to the port side. You lose CC benefits which I wouldn't pay anymore than $100 for at best (unless you need an extra Captains Club point). These cabins are rarely available for less than 4 pax.

PelicanLvr Posted July 15, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 15, 2014 BOOK 8181 NOW - If you can book 8181 for just 2 people do it NOW!! What a great balcony! Even better than any C1 aft. It's as big as it looks on the deck plan. From the OP it sounds like this is a cruise that is "next year". Don't be surprised if X tells you that you cannot book that room now for just 2 people. It's rare that X books those rooms for 2 people this far out. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonecroozin Posted July 15, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Thank you both for your quick replies. I have just changed to 8181! I hoped we dont get bumped before we sail. The Celebrity Agent assured me we will not be moved. The room and balcony look fabulous. I cannot wait, still so far away yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They cannot bump you now, the only time we have seen bumping has been for disability cabins if they allow you to book and then need it for someone who actually needs it.

Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted July 15, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 15, 2014 A corner FOV wins over an aft CC1 any day. Larger cabin. Larger balcony. You will be spoiled forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
british betty Posted July 15, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) We changed from a C1 on Millennium to 8166 which is the opposite corner to 8181. We weren't disappointed at all. Am sure you'll love the space and the balcony is HUGE. Enjoy! Edited July 15, 2014 by british betty Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonecroozin Posted July 16, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Thank you. I am sure I will love it! I have never sailed on an M-class before, only S-class, so it will be a new experience. I did sail on Century in about 2001, so I am thinking it may be more like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwcruzer Posted July 16, 2014 #10 Share Posted July 16, 2014 You will absolutely love 8181. We have had it twice for 2 people. You will not lose it. Besides the two rooms and supersized baloney, you also have a private entry/hallway which gives you a further sense of privacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
