Summit Aft-facing balconies….

[chill6x6]

So….

Are any of the aft-facing balcony cabins aboard the Summit preferred over the other?? Any of the balconies "better" than some of the others?

 

Thanks for your help!

Go for deck 7 if you have a choice.

Deck 8 is great, too. Deck 9 aft is right under the Oceanview Bar (with smoking allowed on the port side of the bar), so I personally would avoid those cabins.

We have found starboard side cabins on either 7 or 8 (we preferred 8) for the reasons mentioned previously.

The two on Deck 6 are quite nice !! :D

1140 or 1138 are great. Right above the bar. Decks are large and you get the music during sail away. Love it.

[Klala]

We have been in 8170 and loved it. We could hear the music and sail away which we loved. It was great for our trip to Bermuda. We had breakfast on the balcony nearly every day!

 

We'd definitely book it again if we were on the Summit. :)

I can't recommend the Family Verandas enough! :D You have (roughly) a 270-degree view.

I agree, the 2 deck 6 balconies are the best. Every other balcony pales in comparison.

Hi,

We've been in 1138 and 1140. Fantastic!

[Wickets]

6148 needed a little work on teak decking when we were there in December, but real nice in the hot tub on sail always!

[plimouth pilgrims]

We booked an ocean view room for last December and upgraded to guarantee balcony. Our ta cautioned us saying it could be anywhere on the ship but we booked it anyway. I was thrilled to find we were aft on the 6th deck. Now I try and book aft cabins for all our cruises.

That has to be the best shot ever of a corner FV

Glad you like it. [emoji4] I was trying to show just how spacious it is while showing the incredible view.

7199 was my first celebrity balcony. It brings back very fond memories :).

Any of the balconies on the M ships have balconies, besides for the large suites?

Hoping I'm answering the correct question, the answer is only the FVs as in the pic have lounge chairs. I don't believe any others do.

Are the FV rooms for families only or do couples book them. I've seen pictures before of these awesome balconies.

Which 2 are on deck 6 that one of the posters mentioned?

I don't know how much we would use them on port intensive cruises but they would be wonderful on cruises that have a lot of sea days. Someone on another thread mentioned just dropping her bucket down to the bar and having them fill it...made me laugh. :D

Deck 6 are the penthouse suites and mega $$$$

 

Family view cabins are sold at the will of X. Sometimes they hold them for 5 people until final payment and then release them but in our case they released a couple of FVs when they first released the itineraries.

They're gone on both of my cruises and final payment has not been made. Lucky for those who have them.

Book early, book often and spend the big bucks ;)

I have no idea what the price difference is between the FV and A1.

[need2bespoiled]

Those two cabins being discussed as the "best on deck 6" are the two penthouses, the price from A1 to a PH is probably 3-7x as much.
