How Early Do you Book a Cruise?

[Pushka]

Are we saying that a cruise ship will have enough open deck space for everyone at the specific time to watch an eclipse?

Private balcony? But that might depend on which way the ship is facing?.

We have an aft balcony. But in any case there are plenty of open deck spaces.

Celebrity? As per post upthread?

Not a mega ship these days. Thats around 5-6000. I know that sounds revolting to many but there are so many additional features on such ships and gangways etc that it isn't as bad as it sounds. And they no longer do the group muster thing which is a blessing. Last ship we were on was 900, next one will be 2000, then another 200 river boat. Then this one. Vary it up.

Id shudder to think what a mega ship actually is if celebrity is not "mega"

I've been on a few ocean cruises, and 1 multi-night river cruise, and I very much prefer the larger ships. With only 4 nights on the river cruise, I was sick to death of seeing the same people sitting in the same seats eating the same foods, and having literally nowhere to escape. Everyone was obligated to eat at the same time, watch the same entertainment, listen to the same music, and if you didn't like it your only other option was your room. I much prefer 4000+ people ships, with the options and space that necessarily includes.
