Celebrity Eclipse Best & Worst Staterooms: Summary

Cabins to be wary of on the Celebrity Eclipse are on Decks 3, 6, 11, and 12. 

Deck-by-Deck Breakdown of the Best and Worst Cabins on the Celebrity Eclipse

Deck 3 -- Plaza Deck

***CruiseAdvice.org Warning ***
Many cabins on this deck with potential problems.

Several cabins on Deck 3 of the Celebrity Eclipse are under Deck 4 venues that include a night club and a casino. For the most part, we do not recommend many of these staterooms for those who desire quiet accommodations late at night. 

• Ocean View Staterooms 3101, 3103, 3102, and 3104 are larger than average and are wheelchair accessible. Guest reviews of 3101, however, do indicate noise issues. It should be noted that 3101 and 3103 are beneath public bathrooms aft and port side of the Eclipse Theater. Noise, such as water in the pipes when these bathrooms are busy, could be problematic.
• Port side, 3105- 3125 are beneath Quasar. Noise from this night club could be an issue late at night.
• Starboard, 3108- 3128 are beneath the Celebrity Central. Because this venue offers late night entertainment, the staterooms are not recommended for light sleepers.
• On the Eclipse Deck 3, starboard exterior cabins 3130-3174 and interior cabins 3144-3172 are most directly under the casino, and after hours noise could be a concern. If you are light sleeper, we recommend a cabin on a higher deck.
• Starboard exterior staterooms 3131-3159 are probably the only cabins on Plaza Deck of the Eclipse that will not have extraneous noise factors.
• Some of the worst cabins on the Celebrity Eclipse are on the Plaza Deck. While we are not suggesting the cabins on this deck should be completely avoided, there are staterooms on other decks that will be more quiet.

Deck 6 -- Continental Deck

***CruiseAdvice.org Warning ***
Some cabins on this deck with potential problems.

Along this entire deck, the Entertainment Deck of the Celebrity Eclipse is right beneath your cabin. Most of the venues, such as the boutiques, art gallery, the bistro and other restaurants, are NOT open into the wee hours so the noise from this area may not pose a significant problem.

• On Deck 6 of the Celebrity Eclipse, 6111- 6141 port side and 6112- 6142 starboard are over the Eclipse Theater. Noise from this venue during rehearsals and performances could be an issue. 
• All 2C and 2D Veranda Staterooms on the Continental Deck have partially obstructed views on Deck 6 of the Eclipse.
• Deluxe Veranda Staterooms 6135, 6137, 6139, and 6141 are a bit larger and are wheelchair accessible.
• You'll find larger verandas for 1A category cabins 6211, 6212, 6215, 6214, 6237, 6236, 6239, and 6238.
• Starboard, 6246- 6272 are over the Ensemble Lounge, where live music is often featured. Noise could be a problem in these staterooms as a result. 
• The largest accommodations on the Celebrity Eclipse's Continental Deck are Sky Suites 6305 and 6304. These suites have 300 sq. ft. of interior space and 79 sq. ft. verandas.
• We also recommend Sunset Veranda Staterooms 6307-6306, which are situated between the Sky Suites aft on the Eclipse's Deck 6. The verandas for these staterooms are larger than standard and offer awesome aft views!

Deck 7 -- Sunrise Deck

***CruiseAdvice.org Favorite Deck ***
Highly rated by our cruise experts!

The Sunrise Deck of the Celebrity Eclipse (Deck 7) has Family Ocean View Staterooms, Sky Suites and Sunset Veranda Staterooms. Also, cabins above and beneath this deck provide a buffer from the noises public areas can generate, thus making this one of the more quiet decks.

• Forward on Deck 7 of the Eclipse, Family Staterooms 7107 and 7108 boast up to 575 sq. ft. of interior space and have 53 sq. ft. verandas. However, given their forward location on Deck 7 of the Eclipse, be prepared for a rather windy view (unless there's a tailwind). Family cabins are in in short-supply and are very popular given their attractive sleeping arrangements. They sell out very quickly, so, it is best to book early to get a Family cabin.
• Ocean View Staterooms 7139, 7141, 7143, and 7145 are larger than usual and are wheelchair accessible.
• From the verandas of the staterooms on Deck 7 that are in the indented sections, the views when looking down will be of the life boats. This affects 7163- 7209 and 7249- 7301 port side, and 7210- 7256 and 7294- 7350 starboard.
• Category 1A cabins (7159, 7161, 7211, 7215, 7217, 7219, 7241, 7243, 7245, and 7247 Port side, and 7206, 7208, 7258, 7260, 7262, 7264, 7286, 7288, 7290, and 7292 Starboard) have larger than standard verandas.
• Aft on Deck 7 of the Eclipse, Sky Suites 7307 and 7356 have the best views and certainly the largest verandas on Deck 7.
• Between the Sky Suites aft on the Celebrity Eclipse's Deck 7, the verandas of Sunset Veranda Staterooms 7309-7358 are larger than standard, and also boast great (and less breezy) aft views of the ocean.

• Cabins 8259-8277 and 8232-8250 are Category 1 B Deluxe Ocean View Staterooms with Verandas. Flat screen, interactive TV systems, and mini bars number among the amenities of class 1 B staterooms on the Celebrity Eclipse!

• From the verandas of the staterooms on Deck 9 that are in the indented sections, the views when looking down will be of the life boats. This affects 9159- 9205 and 9245- 9293 port side, and 9198- 9262 and 9300- 9364 starboard.

***CruiseAdvice.org Favorite Deck ***
Highly rated by our cruise experts!

Deck 11 -- Penthouse Deck

***CruiseAdvice.org Warning ***
Some cabins on this deck with potential problems.

The Penthouse Deck does feature Penthouse Suites among luxurious accommodations. However, it should be noted that several cabins on this deck are beneath the fitness center and the pools.

• AquaClass Veranda Staterooms 1547-1605 and 1552-1610 are below the pool area and there could be some extraneous noise after hours, such as the scraping of deck chairs when staff are cleaning. If you are looking for AquaClass accommodations and amenities, you may want to look elsewhere.
