NanaL Posted November 28, 2012 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2012 My DH and I are planning to book a Grand Suite on the Explorer for next December. We want to book while on our Celebrity cruise next month. So what are the good cabins and which should we avoid? Thanks, Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted November 28, 2012 #2 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I would attempt to get one as close to mid-ships as possible....look at the deck plans. The GS's are forward on deck 10, and you don't want to go TOO far forward! They are all identical...no "bad" ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobowl Posted November 28, 2012 #3 Share Posted November 28, 2012 We always book the GS room where across the hall is no room. We like having the private of no one across The hall. If you never had a GS on the Explorer just a warning really hard to ever go any other way. CL just could spend all night there. I don't think there is a bad choice.

BND Posted November 28, 2012 #5 Share Posted November 28, 2012 We've had a couple on EX. We had 1270 this last trip and I do have to say it was very quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted November 28, 2012 #6 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Yes, all GS's on this ship are the same. We have had 1274 on sister ship Mariner that was nice and quiet. I have read on other posings that 1268 is also quiet. All these are under either the pool deck or solarium, so some can get noise from loungers being moved around.

beachseeker Posted November 28, 2012 #7 Share Posted November 28, 2012 1324 usually goes first. We had 1324 last week on the Adventure. It is on the hump. We usually book aft cabins and I did miss the wake but being right by the stairs and elevators was nice. Highly recommend 1324. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

music Posted November 30, 2012 #14 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Is there any suite that would hold 6 people? To do a dummy booking, it will only take it for 4 people. I guess that is my answer? We are all family and rather than 2 insides and 1 balcony, I thought it would be great to get a suite if possible and surprise them all. My daughter will have just graduated from grad school. I would like the privacy of the bedroom with a door for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
