How cool! Thanks so much! I am very glad that you found this helpful - I have several Celebrity videos on my channel and a very recent Equinox review which we really enjoyed. We travel Celebrity most and I know the line very well. I wish you an amazing first cruise adventure! You chose a great line and I hope you get all you can out of the experience. I recently opened my travel advisor business and would be honored to help you moving forward with bookings. Email me at contact@seemoresea.com for any questions you have on your upcoming cruise - I'd love to hear all about it and assist in any future cruises. Thanks so much for commenting and for watching! I really means a lot!

Glad you enjoyed it! An unpublished perk of the upper suites (Royal and above) is that they come with unlimited specialty dining too. I am not sure why they stopped advertising that. Thanks so much for watching and I hope that you enjoy your Celebrity Cruise! I have a few more Celebrity videos on the channel. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much! If you choose Celebrity, I hope you have a great cruise! Thanks for watching!

WOW! Thank you so much! Please share! 😂 can’t wait to get back on Celebrity!

Thank you very much! Thanks for watching!

Good choice! We were also in a Sky Suite (S1) on the Edge with the bed facing the ocean. S1 has the coolest bathroom with the large mirror opening as a window into the room and able to also see the ocean looking through the room. Trust me, it is very hard to go back after you experience a suite, Luminae and the Retreat lounge and sun deck! You will love it! Thanks for watching!

Celebrity Suite! Wow Fantastic! so much included and make sure that your retreat host has your breakfast arranged for the veranda, Blu, Luminae or MDR. You are queen for the voyage! Take full advantage of the Retreat Lounge and Sun Deck. This is Solstice Class in a way that we have not seen it before.

It's been awhile since you posted, but can I ask how you enjoyed your cruise?

I am so glad that it was helpful to you! If you need assistance with booking, please reach out! Thanks so much for watching!

Thanks for sharing! I would love to experience an Edge Villa. When we were on the Edge they looked pretty amazing! Celebrity used to include unlimited specialty dining with suites and it is good to hear that they are still doing that with the higher level suites. I did not see that listed or it is just not advertised. Can I come on the cruise in the Iconic Suite? LOL. That trans-Pacific should be amazing! I'm sure the Villas and Iconic have some Retreat Host amenities that are not fully advertised and that is good customer segmentation marketing - keep everyone happy. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks so much for sharing this! Great to hear. I am doing an inside on 11 coming up as well. It will be my first time in an inside too. Thanks for watching!

I am so glad that you enjoyed it and found it helpful! If you need any additional details, please feel free to reach out! Thanks for watching!

I have heard from several people that when they experienced Edge Class, they were slightly disappointed. It is a very different vibe than Solstice Class. I did enjoy Luminae on Edge much more than Solstice Class but I am not a big fan of Piazza with the martini bar. We also do Sky Suites a lot however the cost keeps going up. We have three Celebrity sailings planned for this year and they are in standard veranda staterooms (Prime vs Concierge or Aqua) one of them on the Beyond, our first time in the infinite veranda. Thanks so much for sharing and for watching!

Great suggestion! We have done the Retreat most times recently since we normally go for the premium internet anyway and we enjoy the higher level of service in Luminae. Thanks for watching!

Great points and advice! I too, will never to a guaranteed stateroom since I am very picky and look out for all that you stated. I also do not want a cabin with a sleeper sofa or family stateroom beside me. I read EVERY deck plan to know where children or babies would be due to early morning noise and running and screaming in the corridors near the kids clubs. I also never pick a cabin that has adjoining stateroom doors - you can hear everything through those doors! I agree on the 4 main dining rooms on Edge - it is a better experience than Blu. Luminae on Edge is fantastic if you go for a Sky Suite. Specialty dining is always a great choice if the budget allows. Thanks so much for your input and for watching!

@@seemoreseascruises3791 Also, Aqua Class only sleeps 2 to a Cabin Max.

I hope that you found your answer and also found the video helpful. If you need more clarification please let me know! Thanks so much for watching!

That's a really good idea. I will work on that one for sure. Thanks so much for watching!

That is fantastic to hear! So happy you are enjoying Millennium Class from Celebrity! Now you can look forward to the Solstice Class and then the Edge Class ships! Thanks for sharing and for watching!

@@seemoreseascruises3791booked celebrity edge for Alaska next year!

I completely agree. Concierge gives you a slightly better stateroom location but for the price, it is not worth it. Thanks for always watching!

Aqua class not worth it either.....

Thank you for adding these practical considerations for the Edge Class infinite veranda staterooms! I have heard and read several times regarding the heat issue when the top window is open. I also understand that the lighting from the blackout shade and using the interior "French" doors. My husband gets up way earlier than I do so he would have to find external deck space in the mornings. We have not sailed in the infinite verandas yet having chosen the S1 Sky Suite on our Edge class sailings. They have a standard sliding glass door veranda. I tried the blackout curtain with hooks on a Royal Caribbean ship and it completely fell to the ground. LOL. Make sure you have extra heavy duty magnets if trying this on your next cruise - I completely failed with my attempt! Thanks so much for sharing and for watching!

Thanks so much! I also love solo traveling and I think that solo cruising is exceptional! It sounds like a perfect fit for you! Thanks so much for watching! Here is my solo cruise video link!

Thank you so much Steven! I have been on Celebrity many times and obviously really enjoy the line. i could have added about 30 minutes more detail but, another day.... We have been on Edge Class twice and both times we went for a Sky Suite. I have toured an infinite veranda and have friends that have experienced one. I will be going on to experience this summer so I'll have a full review. I like it on paper and love the aspect of a bigger area inside the room. The one thing recently pointed out is that when you open that window the air conditioning stops and when you shut the folding french doors, the air still is off. I, too, love my outside veranda space so I am not sure how I feel about it. The room temp controls are fantastic so if the room heats up, I am confident that you can bring it back to a cool level very quickly. The Edge Class Infinite Veranda staterooms look awesome so I think this is not an issue for me on paper. My two groups of friends loved their staterooms so I'm looking forward to the experience. You can't go wrong with that aft view from a sunset veranda so enjoy!!! Thanks so much for watching and more to come!

@@seemoreseascruises3791 be careful if any small birds or bees come flying in. Happened to me our Canada cruise this past September on the Summit. Yellow jack in the room. Last week on the Silhouette we had small birds on the balcony. I had to rush to close the balcony door. Lol. Thought they were coming in.

@@stevenchinich3738 I'm try to think back from all of our cruises if we have had bees or birds. I really do not think that we have but that is a great call out! I admittedly have only done a few ocean view or inside rooms so they have mostly been balcony cabins. I don't think that we ever had that issue and in the old days, we could leave the door open to hear the ocean waves at night - don't tell anyone we did that....

@@stevenchinich3738 had the bright idea to have breakfast on the balcony on my alaska cruise.....yup great idea...except the very large black bird that thought he'd join me! I hightailed it back inside very quickly....the bird got the toast!

Aqua Class does not include anything except access to the Persian Garden and the Aqua Class restaurant, BLU. Gratuities in ALL staterooms are extra but can be prepaid. If you have the "All Included" fare it does include classic drink package (upgradable to premium) and the Surf Wi-Fi (upgradable per device to premium). Bottled water is only available complimentary in a Sky Suite category and above or if you have either of the drink packages. Thanks so much for asking and for watching!

Almost always steel. Magnets are so useful. See my Amazon storefront for my recommended high weight options! The link is in the description.

I'm going to assume that you are most likely on a Solstice Class ship (Eclipse most likely from Vancouver). Deck 6 with a V2 veranda is going to be located forward. Deck 5 forward contains the main theater and the higher level shops. During performances there might be some carry over noise in the evenings and crowds coming to and from the theaters. Other than that you should be fine. Every other stateroom in this category on deck six has either a sleeper sofa or an upper berth bed which could indicate that there will be more than 2 guests in those rooms. Again, this should not be a problem in most cases. The life boats are housed off of deck 5 so depending on your forward location, you might have a life boat just below you but it does not obstruct your view out to sea. If you are on a Millennium class going northbound from Vancouver, deck 5 also contains the theater and public areas so some noise can travel but nothing in the early mornings or late night. Have a GREAT cruise! Let me know if I can assist further.

Aqua class does not include the Wi-Fi and drinks but will include access to Blu and the Persian Garden. If you select the All Included fare it will default to include those. Anything above a Sky Suite class in The Retreat will default to Wi-Fi and Drinks. Prepaid gratuities have been removed from the All Included fares for all classes since this video was made. I hope that clears it up.

If you are looking at a V3, these are veranda staterooms with a partial view (meaning that they overlook the life boats) on deck 6. The solid black square on the deck plan signifies a single sofa bed. The solid triangle represents an upper berth (either pullman bed from the ceiling or a fold down from the wall above the sofa) allowing for another guest. Depending on how old the kids are, I would not expect the sleeper sofa to accommodate both. I would recommend you go with the sleeper sofa and the upper berth for 4 people. Cruisedeckplans.com is a good resource to get exact details on a specific stateroom. They often times have pictures from pervious guests. Also make sure that you are specific with your ship name because cabin numbers are different on most ships. Thanks for watching!

@@seemoreseascruises3791 Thanks for the quick reply!! Yes, sofa bed and upper berth are probably the way to go if we choose this. Thanks for the website link, that's a handy resource.

Celebrity and other deck plan sites unfortunately use stock photos of the category(s) of staterooms and normally have some sort of disclaimer. I checked out a few videos and sites and the link below seems to have actual photos of 1032. I saw that most of the S class ships have similar or the same inside stateroom number scheme from comparing deck plans. From the photos in this link, it looks like you have a chair and not a loveseat. The Reflection is a great ship! Try the Lawn Club Grill for dinner one night! I hope this helps and let me know how it goes! cruiseline.com/ship/celebrity-reflection/cabin/1032

@@seemoreseascruises3791 Thank you for your prompt reply! Yes, I saw those pictures too but this is from 2016, let's see how different is. I've read Reflection was revolutionized last year. Can't wait to lay down on the grass and watch a movie and stargaze!!! Thank you once again!!!

@@LWLillie1 I love the lawn on the Solstice Class ships. Having just sailed on Holland America, I commented that I missed the large open spaces on Celebrity. The last time I was on the Reflection was in Nov of 2021 and she was a very good shape.

@@seemoreseascruises3791 Thank you!!!🤩

For an inside cabin or ocean view is it best to go for a high deck??

I am assuming that you are speaking of the Solstice Class ships and the aft staterooms do go at an angle and most can be viewed from above. It is my understanding that they are all the same depth but just stick out further as you look at lower decks. There is a stateroom at the aft on Solstice Class ships which does have a wider balcony. This is normally the 4th stateroom in from the port side. If you search for aft views of your Solstice Class ship you will notice this middle stateroom has a wider balcony. This is because there is a supply closet between rooms and one lucky stateroom gets the balcony space outside that closet. I hope that helps!

@seemoreseascruises3791 yes, thx. Am going to choose and book a cabin today!

On the Solstice Class ships those staterooms with the slanted windows are going to be all forward on decks 7 and 8 and are classified currently of Prime Oceanview. The Edge class has similar which are mostly called Deluxe Oceanview and are also forward. It is always good to search the stateroom number online and check with sites such as cruisemapper or cruisedeckplans to see actual pictures of the stateroom.

Yes there are several. Almost all categories of staterooms will have an accessible option. Check out this link from Celebrity www.celebritycruises.com/special-needs/accessible-staterooms

On the Solstice Class ships, there are several veranda staterooms (decks 6-9) that have both a single sleeper sofa and an upper berth (in the ceiling) that creates a quad stateroom. Check out the deck plans and see the solid square for the sleeper sofa and a triangle for the upper berth in the deck plan key. On the Edge Class ships staterooms that show an open square (not fully solid color) is a double sleeper sofa making these a quad. Most Sky Suites will have a double sleeper sofa but always check the deck plan key to confirm. It is always good to confirm your stateroom location on the deck plan to make sure you are good with the location. Many of the quad staterooms are also connecting staterooms as well but not always. Thanks so much for watching!

That stateroom is in a great central location but it does connect through the entry door vestibule with Sky Suite 11180 so the likelihood of added noise might be prevalent. These do not have an interior connecting door so you will have separation from the Sky Suite. Additional family members might also be in the Sky Suite since it can handle more than 2 guests. This is not below any public areas so you are good to go there. Deck 12 is below the pool so you would have added noise if you were one floor above. You should be fine! Enjoy your cruise and thanks so much for watching!

You are going to find most of the Oceanview cabins on the lower decks except for some that might be on a higher deck facing completely forward. Depending on motion sickness issues, a lower midship would probably be better for inside since you can not see the horizon. If you are on a higher deck and either forward or aft, you might feel the motion more and unable to stabilize since you can not see the ocean or the horizon. Keep that in mind. It is a great question! Thanks so much for sharing and for watching!

Yes, you must be in a Sky Suite or above to gain access to The Retreat Sundeck and the Retreat Lounge.

If there is an X in the category description it normally means that you have chosen a guarantee stateroom option in that category. This means that you are paying for the least expensive option in that category (inside, Oceanview, balcony, suite, etc.) and the cruise line will assign you your stateroom a few weeks before your cruise. By choosing a guarantee, you pay a lower price and will be assigned the best stateroom left in that category or a stateroom in the next upgraded level. You may be assigned an obstructed view balcony if that is what is left. I just did this for a guarantee Oceanview (window or porthole) and was assigned a deluxe balcony. This is NOT a typical assignment but I got lucky. If you do not know your deck or type of stateroom this confirms that you have a guarantee balcony / veranda. If you want to pick your stateroom location, you will have to pay slightly more and select your location. Call Celebrity or your travel advisor to upgrade and confirm. This is standard on ALL cruise lines and having the ability to actually choose the location is a perk and not all cruise lines allow you to do this. I always like to select location if at all possible or if it is within budget as you can tell from the video. Good luck and the Eclipse in Antarctica sounds like a bucket list to me! Any balcony room will be fantastic since you will want to capture the outside views on this adventure! Let me know if I can help more. Thanks so much for watching and for commenting!

@@seemoreseascruises3791 What a answer !!! You' ve taken too much time for me. You' re very kind

Within the infinite veranda staterooms, there are various classes based upon location and amenities. The classifications are E1 - E4 with the ES being an infinite veranda single. The concierge class infinite verandas will be more midship and on a higher deck. They are C1 - C3 which offer a few very minor services such as a concierges and a welcome lunch. You are basically paying more for the stateroom location. Aqua Class will provide you more amenities with access to the Persian Garden (spa thermal suite) and an upgraded dining room called Blu. They will be classified as A1 - A2. Knowing the classification when booking tells you how much you will pay and what services you get. Sometimes you can select a lower level option and save yourself some money. The staterooms are basically the exact same with maybe some of the Aqua Class verandas having upgraded bedding, bathroom amenities, and improved shower head. Enjoy those ships - they are amazing! Thanks for watching!

You are correct - Aqua Class does not include Wi-Fi unless you go with the All Included fare which includes WiFi and Classic Drink Package - gratuities are also no longer included. All Suites will get Wi-Fi and drinks. Thanks for watching!

There are laundry options available on Celebrity. Each stateroom has a laundry bag and options are for an additional fee for a full bag, per item and various loyalty level provided discounts or a free press on evening chic evenings. There is no self service laundry. Bottled waters are provided in the stateroom but they are an additional fee as well. Bottled water is an extra fee from any bar unless you have either drink package. When having either drink package, it is my suggestion that you grab two waters on your way back to the stateroom and fill your refrigerator. We always ask the stateroom attendant to empty the fridge of sodas and beers which are always an extra fee, even with the drink package, so that we have room for waters. If you are in a suite, each suite level comes with added perks for both laundry and drink packages. If you are higher than a Sky Suite, a butler will be happy to fill your refrigerator with waters each morning. The premium drink packages comes with all suites. I hope that helps! Thanks so much for watching!

Yes, thank you for the reminder. I will make the update.

What does this mean, do we have to pay tips?

Yep. Thanks for the reminder. Need to do an edit there.
