Celebrity suites on Solstice class

[Cruising89143]

We are looking at booking a cruise on the Eclipse. Concerning the Celebrity suites, is one cabin better than the other? Basically more about the balcony than anything else. Is one deeper/larger than the others?

 

Thanks.

Yes, the ones on the angle, ie 1233, 1110, 1615 and 1618 have balconies that are quite a bit bigger.

Have a look at this post. It references some really nice shots of an angled balcony CS:

We were on the Eclipse this time last year to the Canaries.We had cabin no 1618 and it was fab .The balcony was one of the bigger ones so much so that we could get an additional sun lounger ( it already has one sun lounger plus a table for four ) .

 

This year we are sailing on the Solstice and have booked no 1110 the same size of balcony . The other Celebrity suites I think are are the same size internally its just the balconies that are bigger .

 

Enjoy

Thanks everyone. #1110 is available for the date we are looking at. I have searched Celebrity's website looking for a list of suite perks and nothing is coming up. This would be my first cruise with Celebrity.

We stayed in 1110 last year on Celebrity Solstice. You will think you arrived in heaven when you see that balcony. We were in a Royal Suite in Feb. this year and the balcony was great but not a patch on 1110. The cabin in a Royal suite is heaven but a Celebrity suite is great too.

1110 had my all time favourite balcony.

CJ, thanks for that feedback. I'm in 1233 on Silhouette and very much looking forward to it.

Phil,

 

You have stayed on some great balconies-I was looking at your cabin pics.

If you take a look at your Constellation CC7208 pic looking toward cabin and draw a line from the pole support( beside 2nd chair on right) to the railing on left side of pic(not in view in pic) and then double(or almost double) the width, you will have a good idea of the size of balcony on 1110.

Also great views from balcony because of hump location.

Thanks for the help. We booked it today. Looking forward to Celebrity and the Solstice class.

We decided on a Suite and we are in 1237 on the May 30th sailing. We never really take the suites since we are out of the room most of the day but it is my DH 60th so we felt we would splurge. Can't wait.

Can someone tell me what I did wrong. I see the link to get to my clock but I wanted posted on my posts. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Can someone tell what time we can expect debarkation to start in Miami? Does Celebrity have the self debarkation (carry your own luggage off) like RCI?

Ivori, we are in 1237 this September 29th. I plan to take a number of photos and will post some on Cruise Critic when we return.

While this is my suite of choice on Solstice class ships, I rarely use the balcony....I enjoy crashing out the the L shape couch and watching movies after a day of sightseeing or on the beach! I have had the big balconies and the small balconies and both were fine...the bigger is MUCH bigger.

 

The only negative about this suite was that the bedroom has a frosted window to the living room....so even with the blinds closed in the living room when the sun rises the bedroom gets light early on....I dislike this very much! There is no way to shut the light from living room to bedroom short of hanging a sheet up to block it. If you are a light sleeper and like DARK..... it is a no go.

 

Celebrity suites on Millenium class with no balcony had the bedroom in the back so when you shut the door....it was DARK as long as you had your bathroom door closed. You could really sleep in that room.

 

Happy Sails!

I cannot recall any problem with the light as long as the curtains in the suite were fully closed . I am a light sleeper and often at home in Scotland I cannot get back to sleep after the sun rises. And at this time of the year that is really early !! Try 4.30 when the birds start the early dawn corus !

 

 

We have just paid our cruise a couple of days ago now and I always think that seems so much closer now although still 13 week away not that I am counting or anything ! .

The light willl not be an issue. On our last cruise we had two full walls of glass and no issues. :)
