Tutuma Posted December 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 20, 2018 New to Millennium. Choosing stateroom. The deck plan indicates a larger verandah for 7171 or 7173. Is this an illusion or are the verandahs indeed larger? Inquiring minds want to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecslady Posted December 20, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 20, 2018 They are both a bit larger. However, 7173 is even a bit larger tha 7171. What you see on the deck plans is correct. I stayed in 7180, a similar cabin on the straboard side on the Connie, sister ship to Millie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix_dream Posted December 20, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Most regular verandas have similar size balconies - the difference is minimal. The exception is what is called the 'sweet 16' - these are balconies front of the forward elevators that are larger, although the room is the same size. If you want a slightly bigger cabin, you can book a Concierge Class or an Aqua Class. For those classes, if you book the far aft facing cabins you also get a bigger balcony. On M class ships (which this is) those cabins are larger. On S class ships (like Solstice) the cabins are essentially the same size unless you book a suite.

Also, keep in mind that all the cabins are being redone in the next couple of years which could cause reclassifications and changes in the cabins.

bigbenboys Posted December 27, 2018 #10 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Maybe I'm wrong, but today I went and looked at booking Millennium for Alaska for May 2019. On Celebrity website today. The website said Aqua cabin deck 10 forward Cabin #1024. Millie does not have any cabins on deck ten. So is the website all screwed up or is this a new cabin after Millie gets out of dry dock.

Suzi66 Posted December 27, 2018 #11 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Millennium goes under refurbishment starting next week. This I know as I was booked on a cruise that was the first to be cancelled because of the revolutionising. It was to start Jan 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has very little info released about the refurbishment. Maybe call Celebrity before you book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed my TA about this and she said she is reaching out to someone above her to see if she can get details. I presume they would need info about this as they are selling the product and will have no information to provide about where these rooms actually are! The deck map that pulls up shows it in its current state. These are priced the same as Deck 11 AQ rooms. I wonder what makes a forward cabin on that deck worth the premium. Very curious as to the location/benefit to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cachouonacruise Posted December 27, 2018 #14 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Hi all, Is it known yet when the new deck plan for Millenium will be available? The reason for asking is that we were booked in an aft C1 cabin for a cruise in March 2020, which suited us really well, being 3 in the cabin. However, our cabin will not accommodate 3 people. So we were moved to a « guaranteed C1 » cabin. I would be interested to know where the C1 cabins will be located after the ship’s refurbishing project, to look where we could end up. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! If I was in your situation. I would be checking several sites, every few days for updated deck plans. Who knows when they will be out, and Celebrity's website will show them given their IT department and the many glitches. Once you see them, you will be able to make an informed decision about your cabin.. Edited December 27, 2018 by ecslady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cachouonacruise Posted December 27, 2018 #16 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Thank-you for the suggestion. I appreciate it! If you have any recommended website, I would welcome the tip also! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising cockroach Posted December 28, 2018 #17 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Some other thread had it the new deck 10 cabins will use some of the space currently occupied by the spa/hair salon, M/F saunas and changing rooms. So the space around the 1st bank of elevators/stair case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
