Loungers on balcony - Celebrity Equinox

[Mitchita]

Which category would we need to book on Celebrity Equinox to get loungers on the balcony instead of just chairs?

Foot stools with Concierge Class;

 

Sky Suite or above for real loungers, I think..

Nice photo -- Is this a larger balcony?

Yep. It's an angled balcony, not sure which number but as it's a Concierge Class and angled so it must be a C2 and going by the photo it's on a S-class ship, I just used the photo via Google. :)

 

edit; this is from a CC member, which name I can't remember but he/she did extensive balcony research..

Thank you! I'm interested in 1120 and 1245, both C2s.

I was just about to say the same thing: That's quite the balcony. I definitely can't afford the Sky Suite. I wonder if our room steward would be able to get me a footstool in a regular verandah cabin (with a generous tip of course)

Seems both good, would go for starboard over port (the smoking on deck 5 (if I am correct) might bother you)? But a lot depends on your itinerary too!

The balcony on the posted photo is about or exact the size of 1120, had a similar balcony on Reflection and really liked it. It's either the second or third balcony on the diagonal part, going by the photo. :)

I am not a regular on the X boards but haven't heard (success) stories about it! :)

edit; some people (on NCL) bring an inflatable beach ball to use as an stool or fold up stool thingy.. might be an idea?

Generally, the answer is no. But doesn't hurt to ask.

Very unlikely because if others either side of your balcony saw it and did the same, there could be a riot at GS ;).

 

Bring your own inflatable, or put the 2 chairs together (if on your own on the balcony) and use the other to put your feet on ;).

When we haven't had a footstool, I've sandwiched cushions from the sofa between towels from the pool. Very comfy! Just remember to return the towels to the used bin at the end of the cruise!

Ok, I bit the bullet and upgraded from a 1B to a C1 aft cabin. This cabin seems to check all the boxes for me so I'm a happy girl. [emoji122]

We book C2s. Not only do you have the footstool the chair reclines flat

Sounds perfect awhfy. I see you have been on quite a few cruises. This will be our first. I'm really looking forward to it. Celebrating our 30-year Anniversary.

We love the stools in concierge level. And we always book angle balconies. We typically book 2 years in advance to get them.

Yes, I noticed that. I called with intentions of reserving one of those but apparently everyone else had the same idea = sold out. And here my friends were telling me I was being a bit overzealous by booking my cruise 1 year ahead. Ha!

Well, you can still book a different room and then change to concierge when one becomes available. There will be lots of cancellations between now and the cruise date, so watch the inventory and be prepared to act when you see what you want come open. Good luck!
