Millennium cabins

Millennium cabins

cabin 8046 shows to be an obstructed view from the balcony. Is it because you can only look backwards and not forward?

 

We're considering cabins 8068, 8070, or 8072. Has anyone been in any of these cabins. We're doing an Alaskan cruise July 2011. Many thanks.

Here is a compliation of M-Class SR Info we've found on the forum. I can't vouch for any except for the C1 Sterns being great and the 'angled triangle verandas fwd. At the bottom, you can see the comment about the cabin you asked about. But this Is 2nd hand info:

Each of the following cabins on the Millennium Class ships (Millennium, Infinity, Constellation, Summit) has some particular benefit over its peers of the same class -- most often an oversized veranda, sometimes larger cabin or nicer decor. Not all of these differences are accurately reflected in any known deck plans.

 

S1 - 6131,6132,6145,6146

 

C1 – 9201,9164,9162,9160 (Stern cabins)

C2 - 9043,9038,(fwd angled triangle veranda)

C1 - 8185,8176,8172,8170 (Stern Cabins)

C2 – 8045,8046 (fwd angled triangle verandas)

C1 - 7203,7212,7208,7206 (Stern Cabins)

C1 - 6135,6136,6143,6144 (Stern Cabins)

 

2A-8161,8146,9173,9138

2A-7049,7080,7163,7166,7171,7173,7175,7177,7174,7176, 7178,7180

2B - 6053,6048

2C - 6016,6018,6020,6021,6022,6023,6024,6025,6026,6027, 6029,6030,6031,6033,6035,

The “Great” Rooms with larger balconies: People love the aft-facing staterooms (8170, 8172, 8176, & 8185) for the views of the wake and super-large balconies. 8045 & 8046 with larger “triangle shaped” balconies are also popular. Book these if you can! But what if they are already gone…..?

 

Best standard (non-adjoining) CC Cabins: 8072, 8074, 8076, 8078, 8080, 8082, 8084, & 8086 (starboard side): Good mid-ship location and non-adjoining (no interior door to the neighboring room which some complain can be the source of noise/light from the next cabin). So, why are they good? Because the inside cabins that appear directly across the hall on the deck plan are NOT really there. Well, of course they’re there, but you would never know it! Their doors all open to the opposite (port side) hall (note they all have odd cabin numbers). So there is nothing (no cabins or service areas) opposite these CC Cabins across the hall …nothing but a hallway wall.

 

Also good (on the port side) are 8075, 8079, 8083, 8087, 8091, 8095 & 8099: These have the same good mid-ship location & are non-adjoining, you just have a neighbor across the hall. Very good rooms to book.

 

Need an adjoining room? Look to book 8114, 8116, 8118, 8120, 8122, 8124, 8126, 8128, 8130, 8132, & 8134 (Starboard side): Good mid-ship adjoining rooms. Also, there also are no entrances to the “crew only” area (the large white blank space on the deck plan) across the hall anywhere in this block of cabins!

 

Location of Crew-Only Service Doors: I like to avoid cabins across from doors to crew-only areas (ie food prep facilities, freight elevators, mechanical equipment etc). They can be the source of noise and/or additional activity. If that matters to you, note that doors to the crew-only areas (shown as white blank space on the deck plans) are located approximately opposite the following CC cabins:

 

Starboard side: 8052, 8060, 8066 8090 8138, 8150 & 8176 (aft cabin)

Port Side: 8047, 8065, 8069, 8107, 8109, 8115, 8141, & 8145

 

Rooms to Avoid:

8094, 8096, 8111, & 8115 – Partially obstructed by the dreaded window washing equipment. NOTE: Cabins affected by the window washing equipment vary by ship. These are the rooms on Constellation ONLY. For other M-Class ships check the deck plan listed “obstructed view” rooms to avoid.

 

8102 & 8108 – listed as “obstructed view”, small balcony, & windows of suite next door look onto balcony.

 

8047 & 8048 – less private balcony which is visable from the angled balcony of the neighboring room. (reported as such, but my experience is unless you lean over the neighboring balcony (8045/8046), you can’t see into these as being reported here).

Thanks for the information. Just what I was looking for.

[Denny01]

We are on the Millennium on the Sep 10 Wine Cruise and looking forward to it.

 

As to cabins...lots go with mid-ship cabins unless they can get the special stern ones and so on, but on M-Class, we go forward. We love the Solairum T-Spa pool so we get one up near it. You were on the Constellatin so you know what I'm referring to. enjoy what you pick. And yes, I love picking and choosing cabins, but all of them are on a cruise ship and that is what matters!

[PelicanLvr]

Be careful - Check to make sure the obstruction is not the window-washing equipment that has been the frequent subject of threads on these boards. The location of this equipment varies on each M-class ship.

 

We have stayed in 8046 on Connie and it has a larger balcony. On Connie (when we were there a few years ago) it was a real nice room.

On the Infinity room 8146 is actually a 2B not a 2A. We are booked in it for June 18th. Our TA did tell us it has a slightly larger balcony than the others in the same catagory.

You are right, and I had 9173/9138/8161/8146 all listed as 2A and they are 2B. Updated my list. Thanks!

[Scotiasun]

Has anyone been in this cabin and wonder why it is not listed above.

[RJB34]

Con. Class room 8148 is great

[gomerrily]

This is our 1st Celebrity cruise, though we're frequent cruisers. We're booked in Cabin 9104, C3-Concierge Class. I usually like the port side, but this is starboard. I love to sit on the balcony, but am fair so a partial roof is best. I notice recommendations of cabins in the 8000's. Can you tell me the difference between C1, C2, C3 and should I try for another cabin?

I appreciate any suggestions,

 

Merrily

[Wine-O]

It's an oversite. 6028 should be on that list as part of the "Sweet 16" cabins -- the first 8 cabins on the port & starboard side of the ship on deck 6 that have the huge balcony.

 

The difference between C1, C2, and C3, is location. C1's are on the aft of the ship with huge balconies, and a few scattered on deck 6 in between some of the suites, which also have larger balconies.

 

The C2 and C3's are basically the location on the ship. Some people prefer not to be on deck 9, directly below the outside deck and prefer deck 8 to be sanwiched in between cabins above and below.

[gomerrily]

Thanks so much for this information.

What about 8139? It is our 25th anniversary and our first cruise - we want to have a great experience but could not splurge for a suite.

[monkeyinhat]

Any info on Smmit aft 7203 balcony. It was the only stern available. I am hoping for large balcony with a couple of loungers.

 

would appreciate any imput

[scdreamer]

We booked a veranda guarantee on Millennium (Alaska) and have been assigned cabin 7017 about a month prior to sailing. It's the last balcony cabin heading forward portside, and it looks as if there is a somewhat obstructed view because of the ocean-view cabin just ahead, which juts out. Also, seems that 7017 is set back under an overhang with some sort of supporting pillars in front ... I wonder if we'll feel as if we are in a cave? Now I'm wondering if it was worth it to pay a little extra for the veranda guarantee instead of staying with the better-located ocean-view we initially had. :confused:

 

Anyone know anything about this cabin?

If you have a cabin assignment, go on line to see what other cabins in your catetory (2C) are available, then call Celebrity or your TA to make the switch. What's the date of your sailing?

[scdreamer]

If you have a cabin assignment, go on line to see what other cabins in your category (2C) are available, then call Celebrity or your TA to make the switch. What's the date of your sailing?

 

We sail July 9. We initially had an ocean view, but then the prices for a veranda guarantee went down enough that we switched to that about a week ago. I was kind of surprised that we got our cabin assignment so quickly, and in reading a few posts on Cruise Critic, it seems that it's probably one of the least desirable veranda cabins.

 

Can we do that? Ask for a different cabin? I think there must still be a few in our category available (2C). How would I find out if there are any 2C cabins available, and can I ask for a particular one, or because we have a guarantee would we have to take what they assign us? There are three others that are just about the same as 7017.

 

I don't want to ask our TA to do that if it's not something we can do ...:confused:

I checked on line, and all the balconies are sold out in your category. Personally, if you got any balcony for less than an ocean view, you will be happy. Enjoy your balcony, stay positive, and have a great cruise.

That's my plan!!! ;)

7203 is a great cabin you will get your wish you will have 2 lounge & 2 regurlar chairs along with a nice size table. You will definately enjoy this cabin.

Yep 8048 has this window cleaning structure in front of them.

 

We had 8068, like it and no issue with it

[whirlybird3]

We reserved 8112, a non-adjoining room. Any comments on this room? Should we be concerned about the noise from the staircase?

[gittinaway]

Anyone have any information on Veranda Room 6023 on the

Azamara Journey? Is this a smaller balcony or one of the larger ones?

[65Cardinal]

We just got off the Infinity and had 8046 for our Panama Canal cruise. We LOVED the cabin and would book it again unless we could not get an aft cabin. The deck is much larger than the standard size and has a large table with two chairs. This made it excellent for room service breakfast which we do at least 2/3 of the time. The forward wall on the deck is solid so you do have to lean out to look forward but the great benefit is you feel absolutely no wind while sitting out.
