Looking forward to following your cruise.  I too am platinum with Princess and will be on the Summit in 4 weeks.  This is my third Celebrity cruise and I think you will really enjoy Celebrity!

WestLakeGirl..Thanks.  I cannot walk long without sitting down, that's a good day.  I will be on deck nine towards the aft which would make it easier to get to the oc and dr.  I am a "cover all my bases gal".  It is funny that in doing my research I can easily find where not to smoke but the info on where I can always say designated smoking areas.  Not very informative.

Denny01..That is just what I was looking for.  My day is getting better!

I haven't cruised since 2011 so I am excited about my booked cruise on the Summit.  I need detailed information about smoking areas which seems hard to find, but it would really be important to me.  So far I know the areas for smoking are decks 4, 10, 11 and port side only.  Good info but still vague.  I am looking for a bit more specifity as to exactly where ... if I can get food at the oc and bring it out to eat .. and just hang out with my book and a drink. With the right info I can just look it up on the deck plans.  Please point me in the right direction on all decks that allow it and I promise to never mention smoking again!  

Is my signature still there???

If you are not using your balcony in the evening, please keep the light turned off. Your neighbors may enjoy stargazing on theirs, and your light would make it hard to do.

I finally took the time to read this thread and chuckled the whole time. I am getting ready to go on my 20th cruise and most of the time I wear a lanyard. Why? It is so convenient, especially when you are in the pool. Yes it is waterproof so it is much safer on my neck than leaving it unguarded on a lounge chair with my towels.

I actually have a few in different colors to match my clothing better. :D:eek::D

It's ok if you don't want to wear one.

You may be looking at the wrong deck. I checked the photo and it does show the new back balc cabins on the riviera deck. It sounds like your looking too high up......:confused:

I would grab that cabin. Balc is probably larger than side balc cabins (except caribe deck balc). :)
