pumpkin 11 Posted August 18, 2009 #101 Share Posted August 18, 2009 we are sailing on the solstice next april, we have two cabins 9211, 9109 next to each other. they are verandas on the port side between the hump, and the inner part. since our balconys are on the angled part will it be hard of difficult, to open the balcony partitions since they are angled?? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glass partition will most likely swing and latch into 9109. BTW, we were on the Starboard side a couple of decks up in 1606. If it's the mirror image to 1601 and 1603, which I believe it is, 9109 will have the huge veranda with the bed by the balcony, while 9211 will have a smaller, but larger than normal balcony with the bed near the bath. Now you can fight over who gets which stateroom. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dzcruisers Posted August 19, 2009 #104 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Found this earlier - sounded interesting. I had saved this from another thread. Seems like good info! "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.

Blue Skies Posted August 19, 2009 #105 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Anyone been on Sotstice in stateroom 2144 an angled balcony next to the aft balconies but on the starboard side? It looks like it could be a slightly larger balcony from looking at the deck plans. There is a similar one on the other side 2149. Already booked 2144 so I hope it's OK :eek: Any info. welcome. ps. there is no mention of this stateroom in the sticky at the top of the page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missdoo Posted August 20, 2009 #110 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Hi, we are thinking of booking the eclipse for next summer and have been offered a few cabins, the one we are interested in is cc 9241, can anyone tell me much about this cabin ? is it quiet ? not too far from stairs? is the balcony good? as it is connecting, do you hear anything from next door ? the other cabins are on sky deck, 1054, 1207 1217. thanks everyone for reading and looking forward to replies Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabbycat Posted August 22, 2009 #111 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Okay, I have read all the posts, and checked out all the links, and still can not verify if our cabin is one of the oversized balconies; so I am just going to ask, does anyone out there know if 9366 is an over sized balcony? According to the floor plan it is, but as I have read the plans can be off. While I know I leave in just three short weeks, I just am an inpatient person!

We returned yesterday from Europe on Equinox and just wanted to comment on the balcony listing above. We were in 8179 (1A) and it has the largest angled balcony (facing aft) of the hump balconies on port (left)side. BE SURE to remember that the cabins on Deck 8 are wrongly numbered -- in other words, 8179 is at the location of 8181 shown on Celebrity's plans. It was a great cruise and the ship is absolutely beautiful:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anniewpi Posted March 8, 2011 #119 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hi everyone! I would like to know if anyone can tell us which cabin would be best for us. We want the bed to be closest to the balcony and a larger balcony, these are our choices...8199, 8253, 8257, 8281, 8285, 8343. Also would like a balcony without the overhand, I am a sun lover, lol!

We LOVED Blu and Aqua Class. But you said in a previous post that you love the sun and don't like the overhang so Aqua Class would be out I would think. All of those cabins have the overhang.

dzcruisers Posted March 8, 2011 #122 Share Posted March 8, 2011 We were on the Solstice for the 11/23 thru 11/30 sailing and we had a 1A cabin 9239 which has a larger angled balcony then a regular balcony, the cabin next to us 9237 which is next to the 10 cabins that are on the hump has the largest balcony. so on the 9th fl the 4 angled balconies are #9237- largest #9239- 2nd largest #9241- 3rd largest #9243- 4th largest DAN We were in 9241. It is the same size as 9237. 9239 and 9243 are smaller but still larger than normal. I t goes every other cabin on the slant. There's a great post with cabin size I'll look for. Also there is a sticky at the top with Solstice cabins. Go to the thread and on that thread click search then enter your cabin #. Many of them are there.
