Joby Posted September 25, 2007 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2007 We are considering a 14 nite Panama Canal cruise on the Summit in January. We can get cabin 6103. It's on the port side of the penthouse deck and the 2nd cabin forward of the mid elevator. It's handicapped and for our Mom who has mobility/balance problems. Is that one of the cabins that looks down onto the lifeboats? If so, how much of the view downward does the life boat block? Is it a bad cabin? We've never had a balcony before, always a handicapped OV cabin. We could also get a "regular" (non handicapped) OV cabin for $1600 less. Any thoughts pro or con?

hugsthecat Posted September 25, 2007 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I believe that we will be on the same cruise as you (Jan.5). My wife would not sail unless she had a balancy. Regarding the lifeboats call the Captains Club at Celebrity and ask them.Really the question is not what you can see or can't below you..but rather what your view is right in front of you. I believe your mother as well as will love the balcany.You can sit outside by just opening the door in your cabin..no long walk. If you are on the January 5 cruise.. we have our own thread on this site..go and check it out and sign up for the cruise connection party.. Any questions just ask.

2Canucks Posted September 25, 2007 #3 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Hi Joby! Here's a link to the "Worst Cabins" http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=350377&highlight=7136 We are on the Jan 5/08 sailing to Panama Canal too (Hi Michael) and our cabin is one level up from 6103 in "almost" the same location! We were told this was a "choice" location...midship... fairly close to the midship elevators for easy access to anywhere on the ship. :D This will be our first time on Summit but have talked to someone who was in our cabin before...and they were happy with the location. If you are looking at the Jan 5, 2008 PC cruise...come join our Roll Call.:D Good Luck! Pat :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joby Posted September 26, 2007 Author #4 Share Posted September 26, 2007 We will join the roll call as soon as we get a reservation number :) We've been on the old Century, Horizon, Constellation and Galaxy. We're really looking forward to our trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
