Thanks for the original poster asking this question. I was in the same boat for an October cruise.
We were given a guaranteed stateroom and ended up in the new bank of tiny cabins and balconies on the 10th floor. The more I read, the worse it sounded - especially for a 2 week cruise. Tiny vanity? Plastic desk chair? No room for room service? No room to scoot a walker between the bed and wall? Itty bitty balcony? Just wasn't looking grand. So the hunt was on.
To my amazement, there were quite a few family verandas remaining for hardly any more $$. Wasn't the case several weeks ago when I checked - it was over a grand to make the switch. Not the case this time. I took what was "offered" to me. 9199 which is next to the corner aft. For grins, I looked online and saw that both corner afts were still open. Slide me over again! Now we have 9197 and I am thrilled.
I have only read positive things about this corner aft and have decided to end my search and thank my lucky stars. Celebrity should be excited too as I was on Booking Confirmation revision #9 haha. In my defense, it only involved 3 cabin changes. Done!
So excited!
we just booked and were able to get 9156 (the other corner) ... we have stayed in one of these several times and i will say that they are awesome ... another tid bit that we found that we enjoy is, if you don't get the drink package, is the "State-Room Bar Set Up"..nice to have in the room and able to enjoy a cocktail on that large veranda ... hope to see you on board ...Sybil and Scoby from Virginia
