Fishkillbill Posted February 24, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I booked a cruise on the Summit three days ago. The June 5, 2019, 11 day cruise to New England and Bermuda. I test booked a Veranda room. The cost was $5,025.86. That cost included free Wifi and Classic beverage package. I wound up booking a Concierge room with Celebrity picking the room. Within one day, I saw that Celebrity gave us room 8148. Now, we won't get free wifi or free drinks, (which we would hardly be using), for a cost of $3,625.86. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justcrusn Posted February 24, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) So your “savings” is $1400. You gave up some perks that didn’t add up for you, the wifi and drinks were never really “free” anyway. Now you see their cost. You should be able to move to any other available cabin in the same category if you are interested by the way.

upwarduk Posted February 24, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Well, your room is close to the aft elevators, so not far to walk. In our experience these rooms are not noisy as many people believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping the bed faces forward, like the rooms on the left, in case I can't change. I do like being near the rear elevators though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justcrusn Posted February 24, 2019 #6 Share Posted February 24, 2019 The beds should alternate between by the bath or by the balcony, if you look at the top of Celebrity topics there is a “sticky” with a spreadsheet of cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted February 24, 2019 #7 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Yes, you can change your cabin assignment to any other available cabin in the same category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have found them to be fine as far as noise, ALSO, anywhere you go on a cruise ship uses an elevator so its very convenient to be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always change rooms within the category. Whenever they offer a GTY I book it and always get an upgrade. Once paid for a 2D and was assigned a 1A on the hump deck 8. Huge angled balcony. Right by elevators and never heard a peep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternating bed position is a convention on Solstice-Class ships... The Original Poster is sailing on Summit, one of the four Millennium-Class ships... On Millennium-Class the balcony slider is flanked on opposite sides by the desk and sofa, the bath and closets flank the cabin entry area on opposite sides, and the bed is positioned--on one wall or the other--mid stateroom...

Oops my bad, we’ve only sailed one M class ship the Constellation but loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
