2C Recommendations on Eclipse

[OceanMonarch]

Are there any cabins in the 2C category that are better than others. We realize that this grade has lifeboats and are also above the restaurant (partially obstructed) but we are hoping that some have better locations than others.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.:)

We had 6156 a 2C an obstructed angled balcony.

 

It was Near the lifts and very quiet. Great location. We just loved it.

 

The lifeboat was only up to the floor of the balcony so good views with one divot to the side which didn't obstruct our views

Thought we found some Robins' paraphanelia when we were last in 6156...

Thanks for the info. As we are on the opposite side I have read that there are smoking locations on Deck 5. Does anyone know if smoking is permitted close to this cabin?

Smoking area is aft on deck 5 port side. Find out if 6157 is available. Like 6156 it's angled with larger balcony and great location. If not, any port side 2C forward of the mid-ship elevators should not be an issue with smoking.

6155 is available. Should we reserve this one? A little concerned about the view of the lifeboat but will take your advice.

If we are on the Silhouette in 6300 will we be affected by cigarette smoke??? I'm allergic and the cruise is sold out :

6300 is not port side.

I had 6158 and loved it. It was very quiet in the hallway and quiet out on the balcony. Contrary to what I was expecting, the pie-shape of the balcony really did make a difference! I would definitely go with this one or 6156 next to it again.

We had 6240 starboard on the Solstice and loved the large veranda with the teeny boat below us. But I would also suggest the last 8 2Cs on both port and starboard sides that have a larger veranda but the obstruction is the dining room roof below. One time we had a Deck 6 Sky Suite that also had the dining room roof below, so it should be fine to book one of those 2Cs.

Thanks you are right - whew... I hadn't looked carefully enough, this was a guarantee veranda booking.

I don't think there would be much difference between 6155 and 6157 except that in 6155 bed is next to bath and sofa is by the balcony. Lifeboats shouldn't be an issue. Pretty sure they aren't installed on the angels.

 

Try to avoid 6241 to 6249. In the past, there have been complaints posted about issues from the smoking area above these cabins on deck 5.

Smoking area is as you say just aft of the hump. Although normally on port side it can be moved to starboard due to wind.

We have 6155 booked on the Eclipse in November.

We had 6157 on the Reflection last year and loved the larger balcony, but the next one along (6155) looked even bigger.

We are very happy to have nabbed that one this year.

OP - We have 6155 assigned on a balcony guarantee - much earlier than we thought considering this is a Christmas cruise. Do you have any photos from the balcony of 6157?

I don't have any photos of 6157 but, you will be very happy with 6155.

 

Enjoy your cruise.

Sorry thought it was 6156 but it was 6158. See photo

Does the balcony get much sun? And how much did the lifeboat/davits interrupt the the view - just want to be prepared.

[jackieo]

It did get some sun. The thing we loved about this partly obstructed balcony was that the view wasn't compromised. The davit didn't bother us at all. It Was to one side you could look straight out with a great view.

 

Hopefully this photo will show better
