Celebration Deck 17 Spa Balcony Cabins?

[mamiamjo]

We are considering at changing our cabin on the Celebration and are looking at a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony on deck 17. Looking at the deck plans, it seems there is no direct access to the outside lounge area on deck 17. It appears that we'd have to go down to 16 or up to Serenity area on deck 18 in order to go outside, even though there is a considerable amount of lounge area on deck 17 overlooking the Lido deck it doesn't appear to be directly accessible from the deck 17 cabins.

Am I seeing that correctly? Has anyone had any experience with these cabins, and if so, what was your opinion of this location?

Thanks!

I was on the deck on the Mardi Gras and booked a deck 17 room for Celebration. You are right in that you have to go up or down to go outside but not an inconvenience to me. I like being a floor below Serenity. I also like private elevator access to Thermal Suite.
