Galaxy-Class Sky Suites

Has anyone cruised before in a 180 sqaure foot Sky Suite on a Galaxy class ship? The sky suites on the sky deck have huge verandahs, but my only concern is the lack of privacy on the balcony, since passengers above are able to look down onto your balcony. Do you think it's a good idea to cruise on the sky deck or the sky suites on the penthouse decks with the 70 square foot verandah?

If you are talking about a sky suite it is 246 sq. ft. with a 179 sq. ft. balcony on the Galaxy , that is how it is listed in the brochure, not 170 sq. ft. as you mentioned. Also the sky suites are only located on the sky deck not on the penthouse deck.Are you maybe talking about the cat. 2's they are on the penthouse deck, the vista deck and they have 4 of them on the sky deck. They are 172 sq. ft. with a 42 sq. ft. balcony. We have been in the sky suite on the sky deck and it is great.

Celebrity has actually combined the Category 1 "suite with balcony" with the Sky suite category, so the sky suites are also on the penthouse deck, with 70 square foot balconies.

Really , that is interesting. The new brochure still has it the old way and when I go searching the cabins online they are still listed the old way on travel sites. But either way the cabin is bigger than 170 sq. ft. We also stayed in a cat.1 and it is also 246 sq. ft. So you will have more room.

The way I understand it is there are Sky Suites on the PH and Sky Deck - the ones on the Sky Deck have the larger balconies. There are also 4 CC cabins on the Sky deck with larger balconies - those are the 170-somthing sq. feet. As far as I can see, all of the Sky Suites are the larger size.

I was originally booked in a Sky Suite on the PH deck, but after reading posts here I changed to one on the Sky Deck to get the larger balcony.

We are booked in 1225 which looks like the balcony is "scooped out" - if you have a deck plan, could you look and tell me what you think about that balcony?

Thanks.

Yes by looking at the deck plan it is cut out so to speak. Can you get one of the other ones like1229, 1221, 1209,1203,1202, 1208, 1212, 1218, 1226, or 1236? Even if you don't get another cabin your balcony is bigger than a standard one. But it would be nice to have the extra sunning area that the larger ones have.

We had a SS on Mercury a couple years ago and loved it. The balcony was about 1/3 covered and 2/3 open. If we wanted privacy we moved back.... If we wanted sun and space we moved forward.
