theadams Posted January 25, 2006 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2006 We are currently in an aft concierge class balcony cabin for our cruise. I have been dreaming about this cabin for months now (ever since I booked last February). Thanks to all the information here that pointed me in the right direction towards those cabins. Now I am in a bit of a dilemma. I can upgrade to a balcony guarantee for very little money. I thought no, I think I'll just keep what I have. It seemed that I would likely get a Sky Suite and the aft cabin still seemed like a better choice. Now I notice on the Celebrity web site that Sky Suite are sold out and there are just Celebrity Suites and Royal Suites available. So I have a couple of questions: 1. Does this mean that if I did do the suite upgrade I would get at least a Celebrity Suite? or would they upgrade someone with a Sky Suite and give me their Sky Suite? 2. Do you consider a Celebrity Suite better than an aft Concierge Class even though it has no balcony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vistadeck Posted January 25, 2006 #2 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Do you need more space or want a balcony is kind of that choice, Celebrity Suite would be most desireable for a cooler climate like Alaska, South America etc. maybe a transatlatic but in a warm weather climate if you like to be outside it may not be top choice, or if you aren't in the cabin a lot. If you are in the cabin a lot and dont mind not having a balcony, the Celebrity Suite would be awesome. It sounds like you have no bad choices, just personal taste and desire. I wouldn't go for a guarantee on the suites unless you are content with all the options you may get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you assume with that you will get upgraded to a suite? Why would you not likely get just a balcony cabin? If it is a balcony guarantee, you may likely just get a that, a balcony cabin, thus forfeiting your aft and not getting a suite. If the balcony catagory is sold out, they may upgrade someone who paid more to a suite and give you their balcony. All risky, so you need to decide how important the particular cabin is worth for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashdog_1 Posted January 25, 2006 #4 Share Posted January 25, 2006 He states it at the end the suite guarantee. He mistyped when he said balcony guarantee for more money. That would be a step down from CC aft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGTNORMANDIE Posted January 25, 2006 #5 Share Posted January 25, 2006 GO FOR THE SUITE!!! A CC on the stern is nice but it is no comparison to a suite. Even the Celebrity Suite is better, IMHO. You can always get a CC but seldom can you get a Suite Guarantee...so go for it. 1 Sky or 1 Celebrity Suite trumps a CC anyday. ROSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyanddavid Posted January 25, 2006 #6 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I dunno our first cruise on Celebrity was in a sky suite.. the butler thing was cute..now we have two more booked that are CC aft same cabin number for both sailings.. I figure if the luxuries are the same I might as well trade a larger verandah over a butler anytime....and save a few dollars in the meantime.. a good cabin steward in CC will do the same things as a butler... well almost :) either way is a good vacation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashdog_1 Posted January 26, 2006 #7 Share Posted January 26, 2006 The bathroom is nice in a suite, but the large veranda is tops IMO. The lower the deck the larger the balcony and the farther away from any noise at night of table & chairs moving on deck 10, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theadams Posted January 26, 2006 Author #8 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Thanks to everyone who responded. We have decided to stay with the Aft CC as I think the balcony is more important in this case. Now the answer would be different if we knew we would get a Royal Suite.........;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
