dolittle Posted September 3, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Just had the hump cabin on Eqx. (I did not ask for or know I had one until I went outside) it was a lot bigger. The thing was when you went to the rail you could see all the other cabins and were kind of taking away some of their privacy. Also the way it stuck out they could see you it was a little strange and you had less privacy . I have heard of the hump on this site but was not aware of all its quirks.What is your experience with the hump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiccups Posted September 3, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 3, 2019 We loved the extra space--we had the stateroom attendant bring a lounger. If you're at the railing, yes, you can see onto other balconies, but we so rarely were at the railing it would never occur to me to be an issue. We'd definitely try to get one again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb Posted September 3, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 3, 2019 We loved it, not concerned with it being more open on the balcony. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GastroGnome Posted September 3, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 3, 2019 We always try to book it because of the extra space. Yes you can see (and be seen) when at the rail but it doesn't bother me. Try looking down from Ocean View over all the balconies on the aft! Its just one of those things. Certainly does not put me off the extra space of a lounger and breakfast on the balcony! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miXterOB Posted September 3, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 3, 2019 The hump cabins are always my goal when booking but since they are SO popular they go very quickly.. While you can both see and be seen there is FAR more privacy if you step back or set your loungers back a half nudge so the no tanline look is easier 😉 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlocky Posted September 3, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Hi, we have been allocated one on Constellation sailing from Venice on the 12th, glad to see the positive comments, it's our first Celebrity cruise after 10 years of cruising so really looking forward to it!

dani negreanu Posted September 3, 2019 #7 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I always aim to book a hump cabin. I "see" only the benefits of a great view and don't mind being "seen"....😁 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplsmurf Posted September 3, 2019 #8 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I believe the OP had a cabin on the SLANT of the hump, which have bigger balconies. We always book those and love them. While the cabins on the actual hump itself don’t have a bigger balcony they are still nice, as one can see both ways down the ship. We like that as well, but a bigger balcony on the slant always wins out for us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Hump" cabins or cabins on the "slant off the hump" are not on the Constellation or any M-Class ship. Not sure where your cabin might be located. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montekat Posted September 3, 2019 #10 Share Posted September 3, 2019 We always try to get a cabin on the hump. Best location ever. Great views unobstructed forward or aft if you are on the slant, or both ways if you are in the center. Plus, the elevators and stairs are just steps away. We have always found the location to be very quiet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermonter16 Posted September 3, 2019 #11 Share Posted September 3, 2019 This is the only type of cabin we generally prefer to book. Love the angle of the balcony and the extra space. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeRick Posted September 3, 2019 #12 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Love the hump cabins. Other people can see you on other types of balconies too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyman3 Posted September 3, 2019 #13 Share Posted September 3, 2019 We often book a CS on the hump. Facing forwards there is a better view but greater wind. Facing aft is less chilly but the view isn't as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye94 Posted September 3, 2019 #14 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I lucked into an aft slant on the Eclipse this past April. I booked right after the final payment deadline, so evidently, someone changed their mind about the cruise at the last minute. Best balcony ever! Nice to be on the aft slant so the wind wasn't as strong, but still great views. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvcrusn Posted September 3, 2019 #16 Share Posted September 3, 2019 We love the on the slant of the hump balcony locations and always try to book them whenever they're available. We especially like the midship ones for their central location close to the elevators and stairs. We prefer the forward facing for the views and don't mind the breeze. If it gets to be too much we just move back a bit! The balcony is also large enough to enjoy both options of sun and shade. We love having the extra room to enjoy dining out there, room to stretch out and walk around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare theminnow Posted September 3, 2019 #17 Share Posted September 3, 2019 For us first choice is an aft cabin, if none available then a hump cabin. Last choice is a regular balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Beth, my apologies if I'm wrong but the balcony looks bigger than those either side on the deck plan and looks like the description others have given, however we'll find out on the 12th ! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where your cabin might be located. There ARE actually "Slant" cabins on M class ships which provide bigger balconies. It's more of a concave shape than a hump shape, providing forward looking slanted balconies towards the aft, and backwards looking slanted balconies towards the bow.

Since you don't mention your cabin number it is hard to describe the balcony for you. I do know (from experience) that there are some wonderful (larger) balconies on Deck 6 that I love! I'm sure you will enjoy, regardless of where yours is located. (The aft balcony cabins are also much coveted, with much larger balconies.)

Marelaine Posted September 3, 2019 #21 Share Posted September 3, 2019 We have tried the various balconies on the the Solstice class ships. The humps on the slants are my favorite. We loved the extra space and didn't feel like our neighbors were watching us and vice versa. I do question why Celebrity doesn't maximize the extra balcony space with chaise lounges or the coveted foot rests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you also noticed that they now classify some of the slant balconies as Concierge vs 1A??? Never did understand why there were no chaise lounges on them, what with all that space! The extra large balconies on the M-Class always had chaise lounges! i. e.: 6143/6144/6135/6136 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping the foot rests are still there. Has anyone ever asked for a chaise lounge for their larger balcony ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickels Posted September 3, 2019 #25 Share Posted September 3, 2019 On a prior cruise; We asked our butler if he would get us another chaise lounge, and he did; I'm sure if you ask, they will provide a second lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
