Alaska - Absolute stern of ship okay?
My travel agent is offering me a cabin with a huge terrace at the absolute stern of the Celebrity Summit in July. The price is right but is the cabin view good? <BR><BR>I understand that the ship's PA announcer will call out sightings of whales, bear, eagles, etc. Am I likely to miss these sightings because I am looking straight out at the back of the ship? Or, as she tells me, will I get a better view because I can see both sides.<BR><BR>My concern is that if these views were so good, why are they still available? Maybe I'll be able to see both sides equally badly.

I sailed on her sister ship - the Millennium and had an aft cabin - I think it was number 8176.<BR><BR>The balcony is fantastic and the view is wonderful - you can see out the back and on both sides. Our balcony was 10 x 20'. It was a handicapped cabin which has a little wider balcony but yours will also be huge.<BR><BR>Consider yourself lucky to get this cabin - you will not regret it.<BR><BR>The cabin is still available because not many TAs know that these aft cabins have a huge balcony. They are the same category as side cabins which have a very small balcony.<BR><BR>Trust me - you will love the cabin. Email me if you have questions.

Marsha - <BR><BR>You may hear from others that the aft vibrates more then other cabins. In once sense it is true but don't let this stop you.<BR><BR>You will feel a "huge" vibration when you first take off. It lasts about 5 minutes and then it is over. The rest of the time it is fine.<BR><BR>Enjoy.
