Date of Cruise: 8/1/22
Ship: APEX
Cabin #: 11147
Deck #: 11
Cabin Category: Concierge Class
Cabin Location: mid....almost forward
Bed Position: by bathroom
Balcony Type: IV
Balcony/Window Size: typical
Balcony/Window
View/Obstruction: Yes! Although Celebrity lists as having no obstructions, I disagree. There is an overhang from deck above that extends several feet beyond our IV "window" which impacts horizon view. Additionally there are support posts for the extensions on the deck above which intrude on the views and the ability to take pictures.
Balcony Overhang?: IV
Magic Carpet Issues?: No, cabin on port side
Noise Issues?: No
Wind Issues?: None out of the ordinary.
Connecting Cabin? Where Does it Connect?: NA
Suite Details: IV Stateroom. Closet space would be very tight if had several long items to hang. We found storage to be adequate, but we are light packers. Nice to be able to put luggage under the bed.
No clothesline. Bathroom well laid out. Annoying the button to flush is behind the toilet lid.
Advantages/Problems/Comments: IV is a mixed bag. In cool weather was a nice extension of space. But lowering the upper window apparently turns off heat/AC. Would not consider for a warm/hot weather itinerary. After several cruise days, this deck 11 IV window had so many water spots it was difficult to clearly see out. Very disappointing. Sad because we really liked the ship.
Would You Book It Again?: Not this unit because of the "obstructed" view. Probably look for a regular balcony next time but they are hard to get without moving up to a suite. Would not book concierge class unless the additional cost was minimal.
