It is my understanding that deck 6 has the smallest balcony. Do not really small.

Yes, must be done at time of booking.

See aft Solstice photo in post #3. https://boards.cruisecritic.com.au/topic/2738416-celebrity-solstice-aft-alaska-cabin-6311/

Yes, after check in the is a large waiting area at pier 91. https://www.portseattle.org/places/smith-cove-cruise-terminal-pier-91

We boarded at Canada Place last Sept. As we entered there was a sign for The Retreat. Everything was smooth. It has been years, but I have seen Canada Place boarding to be trying.

I have stayed in the Aqua Sky Suites on Solstice, back when they were just Sky Suites. Other factors to take into considerate. Some of the forward Aqua SS are under the carpeted area. (like 2114 and 2115) Less noise from OVC. Other factor is Sunset Sky Suites on deck 12, you might hear noise from the outdoor area above. Aqua SS are in a great location. Right out to the pool and just one deck up to bring food from the OVC back to your suite. Also 2 of the Sunset Sky Suites have the window washer equipment. I dont remember what deck. Not deck 12.

It has been a number of years. In the past I have had a non Elite Plus guest in my cabin. We went to the Celebrity Captain's Club desk and had his seapass card changed to show Elite Plus. He was able to join me at any of the Captains Club events. This included the happy hour at the Sky Lounge.

I had a CS booked for Sept 2024 Alaska 7 night sailing. In my eyes the price was to high. I ask our TA to see what she could do. One conference call with X. We got no where. I got a call the next day from our TA. I dont know who she talked too. In the end we now have our 1st RS booked and saved $3000.

The Aqua Sky Suites are under the carpeted area of the OVC. They were my favorite SS location. I wont spend the extra money for Aqua SS. The further back you go the more issue you may have with noise from above.

It was forward starboard side. At least on the Mercury. It just went from one deck to another, not all decks.

If I remember correctly Mercury was Century Class. I remember the Mercury, it had an escalator. The 4 ships were the Century, Mercury, Horizon, and Zenith.

I have only called the number once. We were in a CS. When I called there were 2 options. One option was for SS. All they can say in no. X does save space for retreat guests.

Have you called X? Simply call 1-877-RETREAT, and The Retreat Concierge will assist you with your booking and help plan and arrange every moment of your vacation before you even set sail.

X would not let me reuse my password. It has 1 cap, 2 numbers, and 9 characters. Does X password need to be only 8 characters.

There is a FEEDBACK button on the right side of X's homepage. Have you left your feedback?

The 2 things that I like about all M Class ships are that Luminae and Blu were carved out of the MDR. Most of the times this allows you to order off the MDR menu also. The other thing is that most of the suites are located aft deck 6.

Canada Place, Vancouver BC had a small roped off area with snacks, coffee, and water. We just walked passed and on to the ship. I was more interested in lunch at Luminae.

My MIL and her sister were in a non suite cabin. I informed the Maitr'D and our butler. We went on prime rib night. I was great. Other reason is limited food option in Luminae on the Edge class ship. I saw what Jim said on #17. I'm crossing my fingers that I might be able to order off the MDR menu on our June Apex cruise. Friends picked Apex for Iceland.

I just booked a sky suite last week with my TA for Sept 2025. My TA asked if I wanted the cruise-only rate. I said no. I thought she might just got something wrong. We are 800 points away from Zenith.

Yes, the more I think about it, it might have been MC.

I might be wrong, but I remember sky suites and Celebrity suites had limited access to Luminae in the beginning. Luminae was introduced in April 2014. I dont remember how any months the access was limited, but it was. I want to say the limited access was less than a year. Around the time X introduced Luminae we were doing 3 to 5 cruises a year, mostly in AquaClass. So I looked into suites.

Yes I was. This is what I remember. When Luminae was introduced sky suites could have breakfast and lunch in Luminae, but not dinner. That changed at some point. I'll do a search.
