Thanks everyone for your replies!

We'll be on the Ascent, so Edge Class.  So maybe there will be PJ's for us.

The slippers are a waste if you ask me.  Are the slippers different from the ones you receive in a Celebrity Suite?  If so, one size fits all doesn't cut it for me.  I have little feet!  I don't even take them out of the package. 

I was curious about the choice of 2 bottles of liquor, also.  Is there a list they provide?  Or can you tell them what you would like?

First time booking a Royal Suite.  I saw listed in the room amenities "sleepwear".  Is that something Celebrity still does?  If so, what exactly do you receive?

I recently sailed in 1110.  For the price of the Celebrity Suite they should be ashamed of the furniture i.e. sofa, etc. I would not even stay in a hotel that had a sofa that was that beat up. The carpet also had a few rips and wallpaper was in tough shape.  

 

This is a bit disheartening to hear.  I'll be in 1110 this coming April.  😞 I can only imagine how much more wear and tear there will be by then.  It's my first cruise since just prior to Covid and I'm so looking forward to it, so, I'll try not let anything dampen my enthusiasm! 

Anyone stay in this room?  I'm wondering if there is noise from Ocean View Cafe which is the deck above.

I'm just back.  We were in 6146.  I have stayed in this room before and  I was completely happy with the redo.  The armed chair was back in front of the desk/mirror but honestly, in my opinion, there was more than enough room for it and I didn't find it in the way even though the chair doesn't go all the way under.  I know this room is a little bigger than standard S1's but my sister was in 6130 and she didn't find the chair to be in her way either. 

Happy to report the sofa had been delivered to the suite previous to my cruise so we were able to use it. 

There was ample storage for me and I over-packed big time!  I put most of our shoes in the cabinet drawer in the foyer and the extras went in the bottom of the closet.  I used a couple of the small round vases for my make up (brushes, mascaras, etc.).  I had no problem fitting my hand mirror, hair brush and curling iron in the drawer in the desk.

The lounge chairs had been removed from the deck and I asked if they could put one back which they did before I finished lunch the first day.  I only asked for one since my husband was more than happy with the enormous sofa.  He very happily took afternoon naps on it and even slept on it one night because he said I was snoring (which I doubt HA!)  The deck had a large sofa, a small table with two wooden chairs and then the lounge chair I requested.

For me the bed and pillows were heaven.  Very comfortable. 

I did miss cabinets in the bathroom where I could put my things, but the shelving under the sinks were fine. I don't like clutter, so I want things hidden behind doors.  For one week, it was fine.  Nothing fell off the open shelving.  The interior of the bathroom door did not have a hook to hang your robe which I thought was odd and I did miss the make-up mirror in the bathroom but I didn't miss the scales!  I can report though, my sister had a bathroom scale in her room. 

Budi, the butler, had a somewhat different style than I'm used to but if there was something I needed he took care of it immediately......just a phone call.  

All in all, the room was fantastic, the itinerary great, the retreat lounge and sundeck amazing.  We had a great week.  And I forgot to say all the staff were as friendly and cheerful as ever!

The full size size couch didn’t come in so there is just an oversized chair that pulls out to a bed. No coffee table. I was told they want you to utilize the ship not cabin.

 

Hoping that couch arrives.....I tend to take late afternoon naps on it and the comment about "utilizing the ship not the cabin" irritates me.  My money, my vacation and if I want to hibernate in my cabin the entire time that's what I'll do.

Cabin 6146. Love the overall color scheme and bath BUT......

The balcony furniture is horrid. Just one small cafeteria style table with 2 wooden hard classroom chairs. A cushioned bench. We received 2 lounge chairs after complaining several times. Flipped the bench width wise on the balcony and moved it to the other side so you could have the table in front of it with the two chairs we won’t sit in.  We are trying to get a new table and the mesh style chairs that the other cabins have. I’ve seen them in Aqua and FV. 

 

The full size size couch didn’t come in so there is just an oversized chair that pulls out to a bed. No coffee table. I was told they want you to utilize the ship not cabin. When I asked where you have breakfast room service or the afternoon snacks. I was told no more afternoon snacks. They want you to utilize the Retreat Lounge that has snacks and bites out all day. We told the butler that we want the snacks in the cabin at 4. We’ll see if they come today. 

 

The desk isnt that great. No side drawers and just 2 draws underneath that aren’t even deep enough to hold my makeup mirror in. In fact I actually went out and bought the battery operated light up makeup mirror that used to come in the SS in that drawer. The hair dryer is in the closet in a shelf since it doesn’t fit in the drawer. And, that chair is awful, plastic and hard. It doesn’t fit under the desk. To just check yourself in the mirror before you run out or for whatever you have to push the chair out because you can’t lean over the desk because the chair sticks out. 

 

This is my cabin on the April 13th sailing......I hope they leave in place the balcony loungers you requested....I will want those as well as the mesh style chairs and new table if they bring them.  Thanks for requesting them.  I feel like you are doing all the work for me!    

And no make up mirror?  Did I read that correctly?  If they want to get rid of something it should be the scales in the bathrooms, or maybe they did.

I'm still liking the visual changes but the color "pop" Hoppen put in the SS suites looks like the color rust.  Not crazy about that, but it's not going to ruin my cruise.

We'll be sailing in 6146 on Saturday.  Still a full tub and shower.  The shower is a little different and not as big.  There are pictures on one of the first few Millennium sailing reviews after dry dock or the Millennium revolution thread.  There is no coffee table.  The tv is no longer in the corner to see from all angles.  It's over a credenza against the wall so only can be viewed from the bed unless there's a swing bracket???  The blind has been replaced by a curtain that when pushed to the side, covers half the door.  I will be bringing a hook to drape the curtain over or else there will be very little light in the cabin from what I can see.

 

The balcony furniture is the biggest disgrace if you ask me.  No loungers and a just a bench in it's place.  I will be requesting some.  If two don't fit with the bench, then it will have to go.  Maybe the butler can donate it to the Penthouse for the week.  Also the table out there looks cafeteria style and the chairs look classroom style

 

 

I should have read further back before I posted.  Since you have this cabin before me, I'm glad you'll be asking for loungers and I hope they comply and leave them because I will want them also!  I will have to review the Millennium thread again for pictures.  Maybe I saw it already, but I don't remember....that's a long thread!

We like 6145 or 6146 Sky 1 cabins next to penthouse.  They have a spectacular bathroom.  Has they been redone?  Any pictures?  Still a full tub and full shower?

 

Thanks

I've been wondering the exact same thing.  It's my favorite S1.  I'm on the April 13th sailing in 6146 and hope there will still be double sinks and a separate shower in that awesome bathroom.  It's the reason I always try to book it.

On another note, does anyone know if smoking is allowed anywhere in the Retreat Sun Deck?  I thought I saw ash trays on the tables in a picture that was posted.  I don't want to start a debate, I'm just curious.... (and I'm not a smoker).

@Jim_Iain sorry delay in posting these you’ve probably found the answer. The Retreat deck has 2 stair entrances off Deck 11 forward and a one floor en loses loft tucked around the corner on the starboard side 

 

 

Thank you for taking the time to post all these wonderful pictures.  Are those ashtrays on the tables?

I've been scouring the web for pictures of a sky suite still no luck other than the first picture of deck furniture. Anyone else been able to find any pictures? Thanks.

I've been trying to find Sky Suites also,  with no luck......can only find artist renditions.  There's nothing like seeing an actual photo.  I'm resigned to waiting a while longer . 

I'm hoping someone can post pics of Sky Suites.

It's not you....it is exactly the same.  I was hoping for something a little different.  But, I still like it.

Was wanting some information from anyone that have sailed in an Infinity Aft Aqua Class Cabin on Deck 11.   The rooms are directly under the Roof Top Terrace on Deck 12.

 

Was wondering how loud the movies are and whether you can hear it in your room.    Any other negative or positive comments would be appreciate.    I have read the reviews on sticky for M-Class rooms, but wanting any fresh perspective. 

We had the 3 center cabins on deck 11 last year for 15 nights; my cabin was dead center (I cannot remember the room no's.).  The partitions were opened allowing access to the connecting rooms.  We spent a lot of time on the deck and the noise from above was never a problem.  It could be heard but wasn't overly loud and didn't interfere with our conversations, reading or napping!  Definitely could not be heard inside any of the cabins.

They have a presentation tonight on Silhouette and will see what I can find out.

 

 

I'm hoping they offer some insight regarding M class, also.  I'm booked on Summit 3 weeks after the refurb and I'm curious what will happen to Michaels club and all the rest.  Can't wait to read your post!

Question about the Hot Glass Class,   Do you pay the 107.00 for the 2 classes and then and additional fee for the product you would like to do?

The only amount we paid was for the items we made.  They are priced according to what you make.

That's good info to have.  Thanks!

Sweet!  Thank you.  I'll check their website to see the benefits that go with the Black Card.   

I am Elite Plus with Celebrity; what would my Status Match be with MSC.  I'm considering an MSC cruise in the future and would like to know. 

I have tons of OBC to use so (for me) it's a good way to spend it. 

Same here....I'm a planner.  My excursions are booked for my next cruise in April on Summit.  I saved $15 per person on 2 of them and $14 per person on another.  From the previous sale which was last July (I think), I saved a whopping $20 per person.  So yeah, you just need to pay attention. 

I saved money on all of my already booked excursions.  $88.00 worth of OBC put back into my account.  This isn't the first time I have taken advantage of a sale and I'm not a first time cruiser.  Maybe they increase pricing on some excursions only to lower them again, but in my experience, I have always saved money.
