Millenium Aft Cabin Balconies

[Giorgi-one]

Based on the brocure sketch, which I know is not always accurate, the following outside aft cabins appear to have larger balconies:

 

Sky Deck - 9156 & 9197

Panorama Deck - 8166 & 8181

Vista Deck - 7199 & 7202

 

Can anyone verify if this is true?

Those are the FV cabins and yes the balconies are HUGE...however, the part that juts out is also solid (not glass) so when sitting you cannot see out the back, but you can see out the glass to the side. There was another thread recently that had some great pictures of these balconies...can't remember what the title was.

Do the FV cabins on the Sky deck get the Concierge Class extras. They cost more than the CC cabins. Also, it appears that the aft cabins on Decks 7 and 8 are mostly in the shade. Is this true?

 

Thanks,

[warmwinds]

Thank you Rosie, great pictures...I found my equivalent last cruise and next cruise!

I've been in an aft cabin in the center (not one of the FV's)...Handicapped cabin 8176. There is a partial overhang so you usually had your choice of shade or sun (which was great)...if you pulled your chair closer to the rail you were in the sun, BUT, people could look down on you from above (we didn't care). Of course, depending on the direction you were traveling and where the sun was, there were of course times where you were either in all sun or all shade, too.

The FV's DO NOT get the CC perks nor any of the suite perks! You just get that GREAT, large cabin!!! Ours was fantastic (as the pix indicate!)

We had 9156 on the 3/7 sailing. It was FANTASTIC!!!! The room and veranda were wonderful. What fun eating breakfast on the veranda every morning. IMHO, you can't go wrong with a aft FV on a Millineum class ship.

I have 9156 booked for July. I have heard stories about noise problems on this deck. Can you tell me how it was for you? I have to make my mind up very soon and it is between this cabin and another that costs more. Will we be happy if I stick with 9156? Which ship were you on? Thanks for anything you can tell me.

I could not get a Concierge Class (CC)aft balcony for 1/16/05 Millenium sailing - they were already booked. I booked CC cabin 9043 which is located toward the front and appears to have a larger balcony which is on an angle. Has anyone been in this cabin or the matching cabin on the starboard side?

 

Other choice would be a CAT 1A aft balcony on Deck 8 but does not get CC perks which seem like a great deal for $50 extra per person. Any comments?

[JNLROSE]

I would take the aft balcony at all times!!! We absolutely die for them--they are huge & so wonderful to sit & watch the wake. Especially at night, there are big lights shinning out over the water, it's really beautiful.

 

The CC perks are nice, but not as big a deal as having the huge balcony!

 

Just MHO!!

I have to agree with you. I checked out the photos on the post above, and it appears that all CC cabins on the sky deck are totally covered. There is absolutely no chance you will ever see the sun.

[warmwinds]

Are the Concierge Class cabins only on Deck 9?

[Giorgi-one]

Yes, CC cabins are all on Sky Deck 9.

[Ma Bell]

The four cabins between the FVs on deck nine are CC cabins, so you can have the large balconies and CC.

[warmwinds]

Then I would take one of the aft cabins on Deck 9 if I wanted to try CC...remember, a lot of people have complained about the mid-ship cabins as being very noisy being under the pool...I think that is why Celebrity chose to convert them...sort of like taking lemons and making lemondade.
