We are going on Celebrity Summit in Jan. They gave us a family cabin in the stern of the ship on deck 9. I wonder about vibration back there. This ship has pods.
Anyone???

I'm back so this is what happened.The Family stateroom was huge! The main cabin, kids room and balcony were all about the same size. Three BIG rooms. Bathroom was small however. It took a LONG time to get HOT water to both sink an shower. Probably due to being so far back on the stern on deck 9.
Only problem: Excessive noise from the deck above where people keep dragging tables and chairs across the wooden deck. Buffet area.
Noise started every day at about 6AM till midnight . Then at 3AM when the crew reset the chairs,
Not much can be done about this so be aware when booking if your a light sleeper.
No vibration from the pods, Moderate seas did have some movement so far aft.

Good to hear you had a nice cruise in the rear of the ship.
I have never tried a cabin in the rear of a ship, but I have tried to have a balconycabin below the pool deck area, and indeed there is noise from sunbeds, chairs and so on being moved along. Next time I will choose a cabin one deck lower :-)
Best regards
René.

I'm also fond of rooms right at the stern. There's something lovely about watching the wake of the ship trail behind you. Great for balcony parties when sailing away from scenic locations! And the balconies can often be used when the ship is in motion when they would otherwise be too windy if along the side of the ship. But the same noise reason also leads us to try to pick rooms that are not immediately below a public deck.

We had a group rate and had no choice as to where we would be. The rate was very good but I think I would not do that again as we usually pick our stateroom. Lesson learned,
