Deluxe Veranda stateroom or Veranda stateroom?

[gijatt]

Planning to head over to Tokyo for a 12 night cruise of Japan in June of next year on the Celebrity Millenium. 
The Deluxe Veranda stateroom is $1999 USD vs Prime Veranda stateroom which is $1966 and the Veranda stateroom being $1932. 

 

On Celebrities website it appears all the balconies are the same size even though Celebrities website advertises the Deluxe stateroom having a bigger balcony. 

 

We will be travelling with a 11 month old so want to make sure we make the best possible decision. 

 

Which room would you guys book and why?

Sometimes it’s the location that matters.  What deck?  Fore, aft, midship etc

Some of the Deluxe Verandas on deck 7 have double size balconies. We always try to book one of those. On our cruise last month, we were in 7177 and it was great.

Thanks so much for the help guys! These are the options we are currently looking at. Would the 60** rooms have the same size balcony as the 71** rooms?

I'm not sure but I think those are the sweet sixteen cabins. 

Does anyone know for sure?

@patty1955You're the best! We'll go with one of the sweet sixteen balcony rooms and when you say sweet sixteen you mean those are the rooms with the bigger balconies correct?

The Sweet Sixteen balconies are 6021-6035 on the port side, and 6016-6030 on the starboard size.  They have double the normal balcony size.  Stateroom size is around 170sqft, same size as all the other veranda staterooms, except Concierge and AQ have larger rooms (around 200sqft).

Gotcha. Appreciate the assistance.

@patty1955 @Wineaux007 Concierge class rooms are $2366 PP whereas deluxe veranda rooms are $1999, would I be right in assuming that this price difference does not make the upgrade worthwhile all for a little bit of room in the room?

I don't remember that being a difference in size but it's been a while since were in a Concierge room. If you're chasing points for the Captain's Club, it  can be worth it.

For the price difference, I would choose deluxe veranda.  I would choose location around the midship or aft elevator bank.

Would the noise from the aft elevator bank impact anything at all?

Not at all.  I prefer aft elevators when heading up to the Ocean View Cafe/Sunset Bar.

My vote for 6030 or 6035 (Sweet sixteen cabins balcony double size)
