9155 Equinox "sticky" incomplete - Any info?

[39august]

Checked the "sticky" notes for this cabin, but there were no comments about the balcony. This appears to be one of the very large balcony cabins. Is that correct, please? I currently have 9290 on the hump. But might go with 9155 instead. Any input is welcome.

Maybe this will help! The 1st & 3rd are largest. The 2nd & 4th larger.

 

The hump cabins have the largest balconies and are highly coveted. Depending on your budget, you may want to go with a Concierge Class or Aqua Class cabin, where you have a lot of extra amenities and earn two cruise credits instead of one. Here's a thread I have saved from another cruiser with the desirable cabin numbers to choose from.

Solstice Class:

 

I personally LOVED my C1 hump cabin #1243 - about triple the size of a standard balcony - it was HUGE!!!!! Literally the largest non-suite balcony on the ship! The balcony was great for hosting cocktail parties - we had 25+ people out there one day! Being on the aft part of the hump there was virtually no wind issue to deal with. We got sun when we wanted it, and shade if desired as well. Due to balcony depth there were no privacy issues related to the angled shape.

 

There are 58 +/- cabins with the same size balcony we had - they are:

 

Resort Deck: 2105, 2109, 2106, 2110

Penthouse Deck: 1547, 1552, 1601, 1605, 1606, 1610

Sky Deck: 1075, 1044, 1231, 1243, 1247, 1108, 1120, 1124

Panorama Deck: 9155, 9192, 9209, 9215, 9237, 9241, 9266, 9270, 9292, 9296

Vista Deck: 8199, 8162, 8255, 8259, 8281, 8285, 8228, 8232, 8254, 8258

Sunrise Deck: 7159, 7206, 7215, 7219, 7241, 7245, 7260, 7264, 7286, 7290

Continental Deck: 6155, 6156, 6209, 6215, 6237, 6241, 6210, 6214, 6236, 6240

 

Most of these are on the hump, but some are forward where the ship starts to indent. The rooms run the range from Category 2C, 1A, C1, or AQ (with the exception of 6209/6210 which are categorized as 07 Obstucted Balcony - great balcony at a small price!). There are also many cabins adjacent to the ones I listed that also have oversized balconies that are about double the size of normal ones, but I would go for the triple sized ones first

I actually was in 9155 on the Solstice last December. It is in fact the biggest balcony. We LOVED it and would book it again in a second.

 

I had left comments when I filled out the form for the sticky, so I don't know what happened. We had 8 of us out there but easily could have fit more. There was no wind since we faced aft. It was great!

Thanks. I had searched for it rather than gone to the actual input. Then when I scrolled the "sticky" list, it did come up with your comments. Sounds great. I do wonder if all that expanse of deck detracted at all from your view of the ocean from your sitting area. We are accustomed to having large aft balconies on RCI ships, but they are not as big as you indicate this one is. I have never felt "removed" from the ocean view, but wonder if I would in this cabin? Thanks again.

You could still see the ocean from inside, but it was a little "further away". However, the hugeness of the balcony was absolutely worth it.

 

We found ourselves spending more time gazing at the ocean out there instead of staying inside. It was nice to be able to have all 4 of us out there at once not being cramped. We were a little worried too about the view, but it was all for nothing. I say go for it!
