mic123 Posted September 10, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Is it worth $100 for CC class on Reflection? I do not need the extra point and from what I have read the cabins are the same size as veranda cabins. So...would you pay $100 extra for CC class? Thanks! Should have mentioned was booked on Constellation in CC but am changing to Reflection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig103 Posted September 10, 2012 #2 Share Posted September 10, 2012 The cash value of the amenities is not going to reach $100 total, let alone $100/pp. However, if the cabin is in a location you prefer to the Veranda, then it might be worth the upcharge. Is one of the cabins with the extended balconies on the hump available? That would be worth it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic123 Posted September 10, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Thanks! Would that be any of the cabins where it juts out or just the ones toward the front and back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdiamond Posted September 10, 2012 #4 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Also, you receive a nice bottle of bubbly and afternoon canapes, or maybe a shrimp cocktail. If it were me, I would spend the $100.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogs Posted September 10, 2012 #5 Share Posted September 10, 2012 We have always booked CC on M-class ships, mostly for the larger cabins, and originally booked CC on our Med cruise next month on Reflection. We eventually decided it wasn't worth the extra money for a bottle of sparkling wine we end up mostly throwing away, or the canapes that we really don't need to eat that close to dinner (if we have them we opt for the cheese and crackers instead). The plusher robes are of little value to us, and although the daily flowers are nice, it certainly won't lessen our cruise experience if we don't have them. As for "priority" embarkation, restaurant reservations, etc., we have never found that being CC really makes much of a difference over what our friends in their standard cabin would experience. Bottom line - we finally down graded to a 1B cabin located at the middle of the hump on deck 8 and feel we have an even better location than before, and at less cost.

packyourpixiedust Posted September 12, 2012 #6 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I would spend the money for the better room service breakfast menu. That is important to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have mentioned was booked on Constellation in CC but am changing to Reflection. We had CC on Sillhoutte last March. Cabin is the same size as regular balcony. We got it as a CC guarantee for the same price as balcony so it was no extra cost for us. But I did not see any extra value except bottle of wine and traditional seating.

natshala Posted September 12, 2012 #8 Share Posted September 12, 2012 IMHO I'd spend the $100 elsewhere. Maybe toward a drink pkg or specialty restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic123 Posted September 12, 2012 Author #9 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Thank you all, I ended up keeping the cc cabin only because of the location. Per the TA it was only a $20 difference in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per the TA it was only a $20 difference in price. So you turned down the 1A? No way in the world would I pay even the same price for CC if it wasn't a bigger balcony vs a 1A. Take the bigger balcony. The rooms are identical in size but you will love having the extra outdoor space. Trust me. Been there and done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told him that the C3 cabin was not in as good a location on the ship as the 1A, and that for the additional $20, he should forget it and take tha 1A just because of the larger balcony.

Wine-O Posted September 13, 2012 #13 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I'm with you!! Location trumps balcony! If you book early enough you can get both! Yeah, but the location was way up forward. Not a great location on an S-Class ship in my opinion. Everything centers around the mid-ships elevators (bank of 8), down to the martini bar/dining, up to the buffet/lawn.

Yeah, me too. Guess the TA/Celebrity still had them convinced that the CC would be better. People should know not to believe anything they tell them and to come here for advice. I would so take the 1A. Forget that CC room with the regular balcony. Oh well. We did our duty :D. I'll let them come see our 2 angled connected balconies and then they will be kicking themselves. If it came down to it, and I couldn't get a CC with the large balcony, I would have taken a 1A without hesitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything centers around the mid-ships elevators (bank of 8), down to the martini bar/dining, up to the buffet/lawn. We usually don't care were we are located in relation to the elevators as we always use the stairs. We have been in both categories and no matter how big the balcony's are you still only have 2 chairs and 1 table but in CC you have the footstools which DH loves:D Just put me in any cabin on the Sky deck (10) and I'll be happy:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic123 Posted September 13, 2012 Author #16 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I know we are in the minority here, but the reason I liked the location up forward and on that deck is because it is about 5 decks up to the kids center, and 5 decks down to the other stuff. We only ever take stairs so elevators are not important. When we were on the Grand Princess in March, the kids center was clear on the other end of the ship and up, and everything else on the other side and down. I must have walked 100 miles that week LOL My daughter lives in there by choice, but I like to go back and check every hour or so just to make sure she is not getting bored. And...It looks as if the 1A balconies are the same width across, only longer from cabin to the edge. Now, if it were wider, that would be a whole other story.

firemanbobswife Posted September 13, 2012 #18 Share Posted September 13, 2012 9194 which is a 1A is still available. Large balcony, and right by the elevators. We had 9155 on the other side which is one cabin off, but a PERFECT location. Switch to 9194! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freecall Posted September 13, 2012 #19 Share Posted September 13, 2012 In depth analysis would probably show that it is not worth the extra but then again if that is how you look at things you would probably end up staying home. Spend the extra 100 bucks and give it a try - you're on vacation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p0isonivy Posted September 19, 2012 #20 Share Posted September 19, 2012 My sister picked out 2170 on Reflection for our sail on 7/8/13. In your opinion, are there any foreseeable issues with this location? It's on deck 12. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Alsmez Posted March 2, 2013 #21 Share Posted March 2, 2013 My sister picked out 2170 on Reflection for our sail on 7/8/13. In your opinion, are there any foreseeable issues with this location? It's on deck 12. Thanks! We are also looking at this cabin - no reviews of it yet on the master spreadsheet. Has anyone had any experience with cabins in this location on Reflection? We know it will have the huge balcony, but we're concerned about noise from above. The reviews on comparable cabins on the other ships don't indicate a problem, but we'd love to hear from people who have been on Reflection.

marysb Posted March 2, 2013 #22 Share Posted March 2, 2013 A 1A right beside the elevators is a FANTASTIC location! And if it is facing aft, you get a great view as well. (and if you are on deck 7, you are right beside the Hideaway coffee/tea) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
