CC vs Regular Cabin on Newer Ships

[High C's]

Forgive me if the answer is somewhere in the archives. My "search" didn't locate the info.

 

We are looking at booking the Baltic in '10 on the new Eclipse. We have only one "X" cruise under our belt (the Constellation), so cabin selection is not that familiar to us.

 

Would someone kindly explain the differences between a Concierge class cabin vs a regular cabin (most likely a 1A category).

 

And when selecting a cabin, we hope to get midship on the hump, or perhaps one of the cabins on the angle if we are lucky enough to get one. Are these balconies totally covered?

 

Thanks!:)

On the new Solstice class ships, there is not any difference between a regular balcony cabin and a concierge class cabin as far as size and balcony. The difference comes in with the amenities or as Celebrity calls them Indulgences that come with Concierge class and the new Aqua Class. Also, you receive an extra Captain's Club credit for a Concierge or Aqua Class cabin. Also, there is a thread that is has info about specific cabins on the Solstice - you might want to look up some cabin numbers that look good to you. If you read Mysticks1 post on the last page, she has a link to a spreadsheet she made regarding the cabins where cruisers have shared info.
