lara h Posted March 6, 2021 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Been offered the following: #7179, 7241, 7245, 7217, 7241 and # 8226, 8279, 8283 as a replacement for #7264 & #8230 as these 2 were "snapped" up in the time I was speaking to the agent 😞 Also, we have a preference for the bed near the bathroom! Have checked most of these on the spreadsheet and look pretty suitable with the extended hump balconies & bed near the bathroom. Appreciate any input to secure a booking for Oct 22 Honolulu to Sydney, which was canceled from Sept 20 🙂 Many thanks, Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auntiemomo Posted March 6, 2021 #2 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) You have lots of great choices. If it were me, I prefer to be facing forward on the hump, so I would stay with 8230 and for the second room, 8226. Both of these have the largest balconies of all the staterooms on the hump. If you want to stay on the back side of the hump, then go for 8279 and 8283. They also have the largest balconies. Keep in mind the port side is the smoking side down on deck 5, but with being up that high you probably won't get any smoke affecting you when out on the balcony. My first choice would be starboard side, 8230 & 8226. All of these staterooms have bed by the bath. Edited March 6, 2021 by Auntiemomo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lara h Posted March 7, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Thanks for your reply Auntiemomo, #8230 was our preferred cabin however while I was talking to the agent it went, so have locked in #7241 as it has the largest size balcony with bed by bathroom.

Auntiemomo Posted March 7, 2021 #4 Share Posted March 7, 2021 If that's the case and you want two staterooms near each other, I would choose 8279 & 8283. Stateroom 8279 is in the same location as 7241, but one deck up. They all have the largest balconies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked. If your sailing is 22 OCT 2022, both 8230 and 8226 and still available. Someone must have had 8230 on a temporary hold and then released it.

lara h Posted March 8, 2021 Author #6 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Our sailing is 3rd October, so that cabin is taken, however, I've asked for it to be flagged to me if it becomes available. Thanks for all your assistance! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upwarduk Posted March 8, 2021 #7 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Hi Lara, We we sailed Eclipse together in 2015 to the Baltic and had a pre embarkation dinner in Southampton. I have attached a balcony photo of 6214, which although not one of your choices was a 1A cabin. I believe you were 2 floors above us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prish Posted March 8, 2021 #8 Share Posted March 8, 2021 We also prefer the forward facing hump balcony on the starboard side. Though of course port shouldn’t matter if you’re going to be deck 7 or higher, we’ve never had issues with smokers on deck 5 portside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lara h Posted March 9, 2021 Author #9 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Well hi, Upwarduk...of course I remember you both, think you were one below us (we were #7264). David & I really enjoyed your company & chats we had together. Hope things are going steady for you both in this crazy world we are in right now. Best wishes, Lynn and David 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetocruise1953 Posted March 11, 2021 #10 Share Posted March 11, 2021 New to Celebrity so unsure what you mean by forward facing hump cabins, we are in 9192 is the forward facing? I hope you all don't get fed up with me, I am so excited only 700 days to go........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
