kimcheeboy Posted April 3, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Just got off the Solstice last week where we had the 1A category cabin 9192. Hope this gives people a good feel for just how large the balcony really is. Edited April 3, 2012 by kimcheeboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilycam Posted April 3, 2012 #4 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I've seen different responses as to whether or not these balconies get any sun. What was your experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasey Posted April 3, 2012 #5 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I don't like that balcony. It's too dark and closed off. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
british betty Posted April 3, 2012 #6 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Nice pics, we are on the hump in 1610 on Equinox this June. It is a big balcony too. Yes, 1610 is the same size. It depends where the ship is / where the sun is, as to how bright or shaded it is. The attached pics give you some idea hopefully. It suited us perfectly :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stouennais Posted April 3, 2012 #7 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Could anyone advise if 8256 on the next hump has a similar balcony. I am worried the stateroom would be too dark. I think a wide balcony would be great but not long and narrow. I hope someone can help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariawoman Posted April 3, 2012 #9 Share Posted April 3, 2012 We stayed in 8279 (first cabin on the hump, large verandah) and never had an issue with the cabin being too dark. Open the curtain, if it's light outside, you get light inside. As to direct sun, it was limited when it was there, and it was toward the rail just like you see in another posters pictures.

Rare Presto2 Posted April 3, 2012 #10 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Sorry, but I love bright, open cabins -- I'd hate this one --- far too closed in and I would be gutted if I walked in to this --- Then again, each to their own and I am sure it really suits others. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vistapat Posted April 3, 2012 #11 Share Posted April 3, 2012 We will be in 9192 on Solstice for her October 2nd sailing. With possibly iffy weather, I think the depth of the balcony may allow us to be outside when the wind and spray would make other balconies unusable. I'm looking forward to it even more thanks to your pix. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stouennais Posted April 3, 2012 #14 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Great location with very large balcony! Many thanks for these photos, this balcony looks totally different from the other one. Can I take it that 8256 on the Eclipse is in the same position as on the Solstice? If so, we will stay in 8256 as it looks great, I was thinking we might have to change. Much appreciate also the great information you get from fellow CC's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy100 Posted April 3, 2012 #15 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I do not like the first set of pictures. Too long and closed off. Give me a regular balcony or one at the end of the hump which is wider. Happy sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travellink Posted April 3, 2012 #16 Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Stouennais....According to the deck plans on the Celebrity site, it looks like they are in the same position. Edited April 3, 2012 by travellink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
güerejo Posted April 4, 2012 #17 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Does anyone know what 9237 on Silhouette looks like? Would it be long and narrow like the first balcony pics or more like the second one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolforkatz Posted April 4, 2012 #18 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Is it actually the camera lens that's distorting this and making it seem far longer and narrower than it actually is? We had 1610 on the hump and it was a fabulous balcony - I thought it was one of the biggest ones on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted April 4, 2012 #19 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Is it actually the camera lens that's distorting this and making it seem far longer and narrower than it actually is? We had 1610 on the hump and it was a fabulous balcony - I thought it was one of the biggest ones on the ship. My guess is it's the camera lens. Note how the decking is curved. We had 3 in a row on the hump slant on our Baltic cruise and none of them looked like the first set of pictures. They looked like the last pictures posted. Great balconies! Have the same one booked for Thanksgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the person asking about sun, very little direct sunlight makes it into your room due to the depth of the balcony and the overhang from deck 12. As result it stays nice and cool.

stouennais Posted April 4, 2012 #21 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Many thanks for all your comments! We are sticking with 8256 as the last set of photos of the balcony look great. I think perhaps you are right with the camera distorting the first set of photos but definitely would not like that set up, but of course as previously said, each to our own and as other cruisers have pointed out, they like it.
