Summit Aqua Class question - deck 9 or 11?

[OnTheJourney]

Other than being up on a higher deck - any difference?  I'm thinking room size is the same. Not sure I want the extra motion that we'll get up there. I have to reschedule an upcoming sailing on the Summit to next year. Currently booked in 9082, so just thought I'd look at other options.

We prefer 11. I believe the overhang on Deck 9 is much larger which sometimes gets in the way trying to take pictures and makes the cabin seem darker. Also some of the deck 9 cabins tend to have noise from above.

As stated above, the deck 9 cabins have an overhang.  And you have to check what is above you.  The cabins on the side on deck 11 have teeny balconies.  The ones on the back are much better.

I've never sailed in the deck 9 AQ cabins, but we LOVE the aft cabins on deck 11, mostly because of the large balconies. 👍

A few older threads deal with the deck 9 or 11 concerns, so I went through a few of those (always helps to google first since many questions wind up linking to CC anyway!).  I'm going to go with 9127 as a first choice (rather than 9105) since one thread I came across said 9127 is under a carpeted - rather than pool - area. Can't remember where we were before in AQ on the Summit, but don't recall any noise issues (also were on 9).

Here are photos from Summit cabins 1114 and 1116 balconies. Very little overhang.

I love all those 5 aft cabins. I will only book Aqua if I can get one of those cabins. Otherwise I just book a veranda and check the Celebrity website every day to see if one of the afts open up. One year someone posted that they were cancelling their aft and we coordinated time so as soon as he cancelled it my TA grabbed it.

9127 is under the Oceanview Cafe - a little hard to tell for sure from the deck plan, but it appears to be under the little section of the OC where the table cleaning staff move in and out of.

Deck 9 is quieter, has shade, and you won’t smell the buffet. I stayed on deck 11 once…never again.

Redtravel...thanks. We're good with a bit more shade. I booked a room that isn't directly under the pool area. Now I'm tempted to dig out my sea pass cards from when we were on the Summit back in '19 and see what room we had.

We had 9127 on Millie last Oct and it was quite.

Just cruised in 1108. Slightly bigger balcony.  Definitely more motion. Balcony has no cover so it was too hot and sunny to use much of the time. Close to aft elevators so quick access to dining and bar areas. Generally more quiet than some other areas. We had no issues at all with noise from lawn movie area.
