mjbelen Posted January 22, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I booked the Summit for 2/3 on an inside guarantee basis. Though I was hoping for an upgrade, I saw our cabin assignment last night and we are on deck two in a handicapped cabin next to the forward stairs. I am concered about the noise level, both being on such a low deck and for the noise from the stairs. Does anyone have any experience in a similar cabin? Thanks.

RickT Posted January 22, 2005 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I can't speak about your specific location but we've had an inside on deck 2 and had absolutely NO complaints. We found this deck quieter than most as the only people walking around are those with Cabins on the deck. As far as being near the stairs I doubt you have any issues. We've had a cabin directly across from the stairs/elevator and never even noticed it was there. Once again the biggest help will be that generally the only people using them will be the ones on your deck. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancyquilts Posted January 22, 2005 #3 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Ooh - handicapped cabin would be great - lots more room. Deck 2 is really handy for getting off and on the ship in ports. Enjoy. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMKohler Posted January 22, 2005 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Our first cruise on Summit was on Deck 2, although our cabin was aft and outside. It was the quietest cabin we have ever had. We are taking our third Summit cruise in March, our second veranda cabin. I like the veranda but I also liked the Deck 2 cabin and wouldn't hesitate to get it again.

Cracker Ken Posted January 23, 2005 #5 Share Posted January 23, 2005 That level is where we sail all the time (either 2 or 3) . We always get inside cabins on a lower deck. We select cabins towards midship. I've seen inside one of those cabins you mentioned, and it's large. Plenty of room in there for sure. I agree with the other posters that it's very quiet down there. Keep your fingers crossed that they don't move you. If a person requiring that type of cabin books, you could get moved (maybe you could luck out and get an upgrade?!). When we sail on HAL, we know where the large "sideways" cabins are on the lower decks. Those aren't just for handicap and they are quite large as well. One of our stewards called them "inside suites." A little bit of an exaggeration, but not much.;) Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpal1993 Posted January 28, 2005 #8 Share Posted January 28, 2005 an guarantee is less expensive as stated you are guaranteed a cabin in that catorgory,but you can also get an upgrade,which with celebrity usually doesn't happen.Other wise if you are in the market for a particular cabin go ahead and book it.I have never done a guarentee only Run of Ship and it has always turned out well.

superjerryw Posted January 28, 2005 #9 Share Posted January 28, 2005 We've had inside cabins on deck 2 and have no problems to reports. Remember, the lower the deck, the more stable it is if motion sickness is a problem. An outside cabin on a lower deck might be a little strange in rough seas because the water seems to be very close when you look out the window.

phillipahain Posted January 28, 2005 #10 Share Posted January 28, 2005 On all the new Millenium class Celebrity ships it matters not at all which deck you are on The cabins are the same the sizes are the same theres no noise Just go with the flow very different kettle of fish on their other ships mind you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhoeffner Posted January 29, 2005 #12 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Wow - if I had been assigned a handicapped room, I would NOT want an upgrade. We have not been in a handicapped room on Celebrity, but had one on the second deck of Splendour of the Seas. Wonderful Huge Room! Fantastic Bathroom! HEAVENLY Shower! We still single this cruise out as one of our most enjoyable ones - simply due the size of the room. We got a great last minute price as well, which helped make it memorable too! ;-) I would be in hogs heaven with your room assignment. We like deck 2 & 3 - easy to get off in ports - and we have never had problems with noise levels. Enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruzrazkal Posted January 31, 2005 #13 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I sailed on Deck 2 on the Constellation in June in an outside stateroom. The room was large enough. However, on many days, there was a continual creeking sound, due to some loose metal or something. The ship's crew could not fix it. It disturbed my sleep. If you are on a lower Deck, an inside room is probably best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
