mafig Posted August 7, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 7, 2015 With great joy I have discovered that the cruise I'm looking at has almost all the Sweet 16 cabins available. :D For Constellation, which is "better?" Available are 6021 - 6031 on Port side, and 6018 - 6030 on Starboard. I'm thinking the farther back the better (6030?)? From the research I've done, it seems that you can no longer get a lounger on this balcony. Is this correct? Let me know your thoughts.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Click Posted August 7, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Not sure which of those is better but we try to avoid the port side since there are smoking areas outside on that side and the fumes can drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've even had the one on the "smoking" side of the ship, and had no problem with smoke wafting up from the public area below. You have a great view, in all directions, and the balcony is HUGE!. We could not get a lounger on Millie, but I don't know about other ships. It's still a GREAT balcony cabin! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted August 8, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Port side will have a smoking area on (I believe) deck 5. Id take starboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted August 8, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 8, 2015 We were in 6030 on the Connie in May- would recommend this cabin. All of the Sweet 16 are a long walk to the Oceanview cafe. The walk to the elevators is similar to the walk to the aft cabins on S class ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are we saying they are AFT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted August 8, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Yes they are forward. My reference to aft was to give a frame of reference to the distance from cabin to the elevators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Pat -- Sorry, I was not clearer in my post. :o Cabins 6030 & 6035 are the furthest aft of the Millie Class "Sweet Sixteens". And, you are right, those are the eight most forward balcony cabins on each side (port/starboard) of deck six. OK -- now that I read it, even that seems confusing! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwcruisers Posted August 8, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 8, 2015 http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=45769580&postcount=3 So, after searching for a while, I finally found the "holy grail" photo (many thanks to whoever originally posted this, eons ago) of the "Sweet Sixteen" balconies. And, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monicajay Posted August 8, 2015 #10 Share Posted August 8, 2015 6030 on the Summit was great. No lounger though, we used the coffee table as a foot stool and moved the glass coffee table outside so we still had a table. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMLAalum Posted August 8, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 8, 2015 The 3 most forward sweet sixteens on both sides of the M-class ships are partially obstructed by pillars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WisRiver Posted August 8, 2015 #12 Share Posted August 8, 2015 We were in Cabin 6029 (port side) on the Constellation's April transatlantic. The balcony, as advertised is huge. There is no lounge chair, just two chairs and a side table. We wanted the port side because we wanted to avoid the direct sun on our eastward voyage. We never noticed any cigarette smoke from the smoking area since it was below and slightly aft of our cabin. We used the balcony while we sailing, and the breeze carried any smoke away. We liked this cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
