[raz5]

interesting...I'll see what else is available

[jackdiamond]

Any CC stern cabin; and, the four on the penthouse deck.

[raz5]

Thanks for the info. I changed the cabin to the next one over.

[raz5]

And so I have changed cabins again. 8170 opened up and I have read such good things about it that I upgraded!

We had 8176 in Oct,all I can say is wow. It is a handicapped room so it is BIG. The balcony is huge, if you are going on a warm weather cruise you will love it. I am not sure about cabin 8170 but if it has the big balcony at the end of the ship them go for it. Do not I repeat do not take the canapes that they bring every afternoon,ask for cookies instead or cheese and crackers.You will be much happier

I have not read of anyone who likes the canapes. What's up with that? Are they really that bad? Hasn't Celebrity figured it out yet that no one takes them?

Don't book 8045 in Millie despite of its larger balcony. There is a staff room across the aisle with plenty of noise during the night. We were woke up everynight with silverware sounds and yelling. 8046 on the other side has not that problem.

On the Infinity last March instead of the canapes we asked for cheese and crackers, which was delivered around 4pm every day. Much better!

[garykelley]

can anyone tell me anything about these rooms

[anniversay/grad trip]

We are booked on the Century (Med) on the Penthouse deck in room #1012 concierge....Has anyone got any info on this?

[Aussie One]

Hi,

 

I would also like information on solstice cc cabins. I am booked on 1001 and trying to change my booking.

 

Why Change i was told you get a great view of the bridge and the crew working the ship.from this state room

[marcij]

I'm still learning about the Celebrity ships, so this might be a dumb question, but is it true that the bed changes every other cabin from near the door to near the balcony? If that is the case, since the spreadsheet (thank you so much for compiling it!) has Solstice AQ 1542 with the bed near the door, I would assume 1544 would have the bed near the balcony. Is that correct?

Raz5: The canapes are not that bad. I know some people hate them. After reading all the negative reviews on this board, we opted to exchange them for cheese and crackers right away instead of trying them. Then we were invited to the Captain's cocktail party with some friends and got to try them. They were actually good. I think they must have changed them up because I am a picky eater and I liked them. I would just try them and if you don't like them, your room steward can change it to cheese and crackers or get both if you like!

 

I have been accumulating posts from other cruisers about the good cabins to get on the Solstice class and M class ships. Please remember I am just passing this info along so cannot verify it's accuracy, but thought I would share as that's what this board is all about.

 

Solstice Class:

I personally LOVED my C1 hump cabin #1243 - about triple the size of a standard balcony - it was HUGE!!!!! Literally the largest non-suite balcony on the ship! The balcony was great for hosting cocktail parties - we had 25+ people out there one day! Being on the aft part of the hump there was virtually no wind issue to deal with. We got sun when we wanted it, and shade if desired as well. Due to balcony depth there were no privacy issues related to the angled shape.

 

There are 58 +/- cabins with the same size balcony we had - they are:

 

Resort Deck: 2105, 2109, 2106, 2110

Penthouse Deck: 1547, 1552, 1601, 1605, 1606, 1610

Sky Deck: 1075, 1044, 1231, 1243, 1247, 1108, 1120, 1124

Panorama Deck: 9155, 9192, 9209, 9215, 9237, 9241, 9266, 9270, 9292, 9296

Vista Deck: 8199, 8162, 8255, 8259, 8281, 8285, 8228, 8232, 8254, 8258

Sunrise Deck: 7159, 7206, 7215, 7219, 7241, 7245, 7260, 7264, 7286, 7290

Continental Deck: 6155, 6156, 6209, 6215, 6237, 6241, 6210, 6214, 6236, 6240

 

Most of these are on the hump, but some are forward where the ship starts to indent. The rooms run the range from Category 2C, 1A, C1, or AQ (with the exception of 6209/6210 which are categorized as 07 Obstucted Balcony - great balcony at a small price!). There are also many cabins adjacent to the ones I listed that also have oversized balconies that are about double the size of normal ones, but I would go for the triple sized ones first

Here is an analysis of the Concierge Class Cabins on Constellation (Deck 8) to book. So many posts here ask if specific cabins are good ones, so (even though this is only my opinion) I thought people might find this helpful.

 

Background: My DW and I have enjoyed several Connie sailings in recent years in Concierge Class (CC) cabins on Deck 8. We enjoy the ship (its size, dining options, etc) so, knowing we’d be back, I took some notes to know which deck 8 CC cabins to book and which to avoid. We like Deck 8 because it has staterooms both above and below. We don’t like Deck 9 due to the overhang & lido above.

 

Please let me know if you find this info useful. We have an upcoming cruise on Summit and I could do a little more homework. Thanks for the feedback!

 

CC Cabins - Constellation Deck 8:

The “Great” Rooms with larger balconies: People love the aft-facing staterooms (8170, 8172, 8176, & 8185) for the views of the wake and super-large balconies. 8045 & 8046 with larger “triangle shaped” balconies are also popular. Book these if you can! But what if they are already gone…..?

 

Best standard (non-adjoining) CC Cabins: 8072, 8074, 8076, 8078, 8080, 8082, 8084, & 8086 (starboard side): Good mid-ship location and non-adjoining (no interior door to the neighboring room which some complain can be the source of noise/light from the next cabin). So, why are they good? Because the inside cabins that appear directly across the hall on the deck plan are NOT really there. Well, of course they’re there, but you would never know it! Their doors all open to the opposite (port side) hall (note they all have odd cabin numbers). So there is nothing (no cabins or service areas) opposite these CC Cabins across the hall …nothing but a hallway wall.

 

Also good (on the port side) are 8075, 8079, 8083, 8087, 8091, 8095 & 8099: These have the same good mid-ship location & are non-adjoining, you just have a neighbor across the hall. Very good rooms to book.

 

Need an adjoining room? Look to book 8114, 8116, 8118, 8120, 8122, 8124, 8126, 8128, 8130, 8132, & 8134 (Starboard side): Good mid-ship adjoining rooms. Also, there also are no entrances to the “crew only” area (the large white blank space on the deck plan) across the hall anywhere in this block of cabins!

 

Location of Crew-Only Service Doors: I like to avoid cabins across from doors to crew-only areas (ie food prep facilities, freight elevators, mechanical equipment etc). They can be the source of noise and/or additional activity. If that matters to you, note that doors to the crew-only areas (shown as white blank space on the deck plans) are located approximately opposite the following CC cabins:

 

Starboard side: 8052, 8060, 8066 8090 8138, 8150 & 8176 (aft cabin)

Port Side: 8047, 8065, 8069, 8107, 8109, 8115, 8141, & 8145

 

Rooms to Avoid:

8094, 8096, 8111, & 8115 – Partially obstructed by the dreaded window washing equipment. NOTE: Cabins affected by the window washing equipment vary by ship. These are the rooms on Constellation ONLY. For other M-Class ships check the deck plan listed “obstructed view” rooms to avoid.

 

8102 & 8108 – listed as “obstructed view”, small balcony, & windows of suite next door look onto balcony.

 

8047 & 8048 – less private balcony which is visable from the angled balcony of the neighboring room.

 

 

Please let me know if this is helpful and if there is any other info you’d find interesting. I can be on the lookout on our upcoming cruise.

"This list is posted frequently in this forum, so this seems a good place to lock it down."

 

Each of the following cabins on the Millennium Class ships (Millennium, Infinity, Constellation, Summit) has some particular benefit over its peers of the same class -- most often an oversized veranda, sometimes larger cabin or nicer decor. Not all of these differences are accurately reflected in any known deck plans.

 

SS-6131,6132,6145,6146

 

CC-9043,9038,9201,9164,9162,9160

CC-8045,8046,8185,8176,8172,8170

CC-7203,7212,7208,7206

CC-6135,6136,6143,6144

 

2A-8161,8146,9173,9138

2B-7049,7080,7163,7166,7171,7173,7175,7177,7174,7176, 7178,7180

2C- 6016,6018,6020,6021,6022,6023,6024,6025,6026,6027, 6029,6030,6031,6033,6035,6053,6048

 

Since the Infinity, Constellation, Millenium & Summit are all the same configuration, these cabins will apply to your cruise.

 

In addition, have you heard the term "POSH" which stands for: Port side out, Starboard home. This term came about when the British were sailing from England to India (sunny vs shady side). Look at your itinerary to determine the direction the ship is traveling, this will help you decide on the side of the ship you may prefer. However, please realize when the ship docks, it may make a complete 180 turn before docking.

Thanks for the info Kitkat... I will give the canapes a try....and post my results lol

If that is the case, since the spreadsheet (thank you so much for compiling it!) has Solstice AQ 1542 with the bed near the door, I would assume 1544 would have the bed near the balcony. Is that correct?

 

It is true that the bed position alternates every other cabin, but only on the Solstice class ships (Solstice, Equinox, and I assume the Eclipse). This is due to the curves in the walls. On the Equinox in Nov 09, we had a bed near the balcony in Cabin 6129 and much preferred that layout, but if you have people visiting in your room a lot, you might prefer the sitting area near the balcony, making a larger, somewhat seamless area to socialize. Some people also like to have their bed close to the bathroom. The distance is not that great, so it didn't bother me.

Great thread! We're considering the Solstice this fall, and I wonder if any of the CC balconies are fully uncovered? I love the sun, so I prefer an uncovered balcony. We have only sailed HAL and Princess, and can't wait to try Celebrity! :)

 

Thanks in advance!

[ccruisequeen]

what is Ship Name: Celebrity Millennium

Stateroom: Ocean View Stateroom , #2149

Deck: Continental Deck like?:confused:

[suz56]

The aft CC cabins on Summit and Millenium have triple size balconys. We book early to make sure we get them. Saturday we are in 8170 on Summit. It is a very relaxing place to have room service breakfast and watching the wake is hypnotic.:rolleyes:

 

what about millenium cabins 9201 9162 - they are aft but will I get sea sick being so high and at the back of the ship?

[demodawn]

Thanks we have the millie booked for next year to Alaska and took 8185!

[jackdiamond]

On the M class there are three CC classes-1, 2, and 3. The 1's are the ones with the larger balconies; and, they are on the stern and there are four on the penthouse deck. Also, they are not all the same price. The 1's are the most expensive. A few years ago, they were all the same price, but no more.

the aft balconies on the S class get full sun
