Anyone been in a Celebrity Suite
Hi all,
I just booked the 2004 Cruisetour to Alaska on the Celebrity Summit (Tour starts 7/31, cruise on 8/6). My wife and I are celebrating our 25th Anniversary and decided to go a little extra and booked a Celebrity Suite. Does anyone have any experience with the CS? It doesn't have a balcony, instead it has a wall of windows and I'm wondering if I might be sorry about not having a balcony. Any info will really be appreciated. Thanks, Joe |

The CS on this class of ship is very large and lovely but the lack of a
balcony is a drawback. During the past year, we were in a Royal Suite on the Millenium (awesome) and the Penthouse on the Mercury (absolutely magnificent). Both were upgrades once on board and you should check into doing the same.

How do you check? You mean upgrade by paying the difference once on baord?
Or a freebie? P "Howard Garland" wrote in message ... The CS on this class of ship is very large and lovely but the lack of a balcony is a drawback.

It depends on two things: 1) have you cruised before WITH a balcony and 2) do you like cool weather? We couldn't possible live without a balcony in Alaska having had one before (and we love cold weather). In the Caribbean we barely ever went out to the balcony because we don't like the heat that much. So we mostly stayed in the A/C'ed cabin. In Alaska we spent every non-sleeping minute in the cabin on the balcony checking out the scenery. -- Asya Kamsky "To forgive is an act of compassion.

See the concierge after boarding the ship. If a higher category suite
is available, they may let you upgrade by paying a discounted difference. Howard ppp-man wrote: How do you check? You mean upgrade by paying the difference once on baord? Or a freebie?

Any idea on the range of pricing? What is the discounted difference? 3-4k?
1-2k? hundreds? P "Howard and Eileen Garland" wrote in message ... See the concierge after boarding the ship.

Thanks, Joe One reason we loved our balcony was the day we were in Glacier Bay it was cold and rainy outside so the inside viewing areas were packed (the Crow's Nest, etc.). We escaped to our balcony to get away from the crowds. We also had very nice weather the rest of the cruise so we could sit and have a drink on our balcony and watch the whales. I'll never cruise without a balcony again! |

I saw those cabins on Constellation. My recommendation is Thumbs Down.
Switch to a cabin that has a balcony. Even if it's a lower categore, I'd much rather have the balcony. -Tom Joe Stokes wrote: Hi all, I just booked the 2004 Cruisetour to Alaska on the Celebrity Summit (Tour starts 7/31, cruise on 8/6).

We've never had a balcony before - and I kinda figured we wouldn't use
it on a cruise to Alaska. The only part I thought would be nice to have a balcony was at Hubbard Glacier. Friends who've done the cruise say the sounds from the Glacier are amazing. I figured i could go to the deck for that. I'm not sure i can manage paying for the Royal Suite - I guess I'll have to look into doing an upgrade on ship. What would you think about a couple that isn't really into cool weather - I think I'd love the balcony on a caribbean cruise (we just got back from the Adventure of the Seas in August).

Wow - that's a power suggestion. I may have to rethink going down to
the Sky Suite. I just responded back to someone else that we weren't cold weather people. Now I'm kinda torn - bigger cabin or balcony. Tnx for the reco.
