Stx3me Posted June 24 #1 Share Posted June 24 Hello, We were in the Beyond in a IV cabin and decided it’s not for us but we do like the ship overall. We are trying to book another cruise in the sunset veranda class but can find no option on any Edge class ship to select this cabin type. Does anyone have any insight on this? Thanks much.

Rare bebe08 Posted June 24 #2 Share Posted June 24 There are definitely sunset veranda cabins on this class. We are booked in cabin 9310 on the Edge which is a sunset veranda. I checked Beyond deck plans and has sunset verandas as well. https://www.celebritycruises.com/ca/cruise-ships/celebrity-beyond/deck-plan Perhaps the sailing you are looking at that category is sold out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stx3me Posted June 24 Author #3 Share Posted June 24 How did you book your cabin specifically? Was it during the ‘select the category’ step? Every sailing of any Edge class does not indicate an option for sunset verandas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ken the cruiser Posted June 24 #4 Share Posted June 24 It will be listed under the Veranda section if there are any Sunset Verandas left, as they do go fast for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelownadon Posted June 24 #5 Share Posted June 24 The sunset verandas on the Edge class ships are so much in demand that they virtually sell out now in the first month that Celebrity first releases the itinerary. You might get really lucky and find one when there is a cancellation but you would have to be checking almost every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm booked in a Sunset Veranda on Apex in December - while other Verandas for my sailing are still available my category was the first to sell out so most likely that's the case with the sailings you are looking it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHawk1 Posted June 24 #7 Share Posted June 24 I booked an SV on the Edge two years in advance for an Australian cruise. Less than a month later, they were all sold out. You have to be fast to get one of these cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauidiver Posted June 24 #8 Share Posted June 24 We always book sunset verandas and learned quickly that you definitely have to book WAY in advance to get one. I’ve also heard that because they’re so in demand that the likelihood of winning a move up bid into a suite is high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stx3me Posted June 24 Author #9 Share Posted June 24 Thanks. I don’t really care if it’s a suite, what I’m interested in is a traditional balcony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I can confirm that it worked for me in the Med. Although, I like the cabin a lot, especially the shower due to the suite having more of a tub🤷♀️.

TinyG Posted June 24 #12 Share Posted June 24 We just sailed the first time on Edge for her first cruise to Alaska in May. We were right in the middle 10280. There was a swing door at the middle of the back hallway, but never heard anything from it. If you book the more corner ones you will have your own corridor. We knew we did not want an IV. We enjoyed our cabin. We did not have a lounger, but the cabin attendant brought one for me... We could hear some sound which was the music in the Edge lounge, but not hear the music like you could not make out any songs. Only a few times and it was not a bother. If we ever sail on an Edge class ship again. It will be in a Sunset Veranda. It will have to be the trip of a lifetime, or be free to sail Edge class again. We would take an S or M class anytime, anyplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Pr Posted June 24 #13 Share Posted June 24 (edited) That view and huge verandah are what draws people to Sunset Verandahs and why they sell out fast. Some downsides are: 1. more ship movement (pitch) than closer to the middle; 2. long walks from stairs and elevators; 3. Noise/rumble from the propellers; and 4. the top tier is below the buffet restaurant and/or bar and there are privacy issues (people can look over the side to your verandah, and there is noise at times (like any cabin beneath a restaurant). We are booked in one this Fall on the Beyond and then Fall 2025 on the Millenium, and Sunset Verandals are sold out on both cruises.

sun bum Posted June 24 #14 Share Posted June 24 All 3 of our upcoming cruises are on an E class ship. We booked a SV for all 3. We got lucky for our cruise in November as someone must have cancelled their SV. We just booked in in May. We had been checking each day to find one available. The other cruises were booked well in advance. Our Excel cruise was booked in January. At that time we got the only available SV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyG Posted June 24 #15 Share Posted June 24 I agree the walk from the mid ship elevator was a pain, especially if we were at Eden at the time. An aft elevator would have been ideal. I think for me was 49 steps... We did not feel any vibration or motion, except for one night. We stayed in the bed, that's the only thing that mattered.

I don’t really care if it’s a suite, what I’m interested in is a traditional balcony You may also want to look at Deluxe Porthole View with Veranda. They have an outdoor balcony space but is enclosed in the hull with a large circular opening to the outside. Generally much less than SV but also usually more available. There are some good YouTube videos to give you a perspective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinyG Posted June 24 #19 Share Posted June 24 @TheHawk1 We did not have one, but asked for one and one was provided. He got a nice extra tip as we were leaving. We even went outside with it raining. Blankets & beach towels worked. We had a sunny day while in Skagway, took a nap. It was great! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However another from the Roll Call, also in a SV placed a much lower bid than us won. The only difference was they booked AI and we booked cruise only.

Makes me wonder how close both of you were with your bids. I do enjoy the SV and the shower, as it is, much better for me, than that tub. The good news is that you saved some money to use on your next cruise. If we only knew the algorithm...🤗 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwlmember Posted June 25 #22 Share Posted June 25 We are in an SV for our Panama Canal cruise on Beyond in December. The same exact cabin we had for our Greek Islands cruise in September '22. Looking forward to seeing the Canal from the stern! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
