Kugel Posted March 8, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2017 is the partial obstruction on deck six mid ship from the top of the lifeboats limiting your view to only straight out from balcony? Looking at 6197 or 6201 on Eclipse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjaminhuf Posted March 8, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Here's a link that seems to have a pic of 6197 on Eclipse. Looks pretty good imho: https://www.icruise.com/cabins/celebrity-cruises-celebrity-eclipse-cabin-6197.html 6201 looks ok too: https://www.icruise.com/cabins/celebrity-cruises-celebrity-eclipse-cabin-6201.html Edited March 8, 2017 by benjaminhuf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfken1977 Posted March 8, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Those both have the exact same pic -- so I think it's a stock pic Here's a link that seems to have a pic of 6197 on Eclipse.

Courier95 Posted March 8, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Don't know about the two you mention but we had 6174 on the Eclipse last year and the top of one of the smaller lifeboats was just about level with the balcony floor. No view down but looking straight out or to stern or port was fine. In fact, we have chosen the same stateroom for this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suekay Posted March 8, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I'm no expert but aren't those cabins 2d? In which case the lifeboat will come up to the level of the balcony handrail meaning you can only see out when standing up. Cabin 6174 is a 2c in which the roof of the lifeboat comes level with the balcony floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kugel Posted March 9, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Have 6201. If you cannot see when sitting down need to change it for my friend. Need to find out for sure. 2D category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMLAalum Posted March 9, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Have 6201. If you cannot see when sitting down need to change it for my friend. Need to find out for sure. 2D category. We had 2D 6202 on opposite side of the ship and could look out between lifeboat stanchions while seated. HOWEVER, 6201 is portside and nearly directly above the smoking area on Deck 5, so that factor alone would warrant a cabin change for me! If you are a Captain's Club member from having sailed Celebrity previously you can get a 2C cabin at the 2D pricing. These cabins have the lifeboat top at veranda bottom so you can see out but not down. There are also 2C cabins near the stern of the ship with larger verandas that are out over the dining areas as well as angular cabins (view deck plans) with larger verandas above the lifeboats.
