Springchicken Posted November 4, 2009 #527 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Deck - Vista Cabin # - 8271 Class – 1B Starboard or Port Side - Port Bed near?(balcony or bath) – Bath Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – Occasional noise of flushing toilets or water pipes. Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – X covered 1 pane and 1/2 of left pane. Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Normal Was wind a problem? No If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? Any specific problems with this cabin? No Any other comments? Bunk bed in ceiling and trundle bed in sofa. Also in 8263 (forgot to mention it previously). I stayed in 8263 and my traveling friends stayed in 8269 and 8271 and I'm posting this information for them. Vista Deck is a very good deck as is the hump location for the verandas. Friends didn't mind the "X" tint but I wouldn't want to have it if there's a choice. It is like a mirror and distracting to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note if connecting. ) – Very noisy at night even at 2 or 3 in the morning due to a smoking station below us on deck 5. Loud talking and laughter meant we could never sleep with our balcony door open. :mad: Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – life boats below Balcony Size?

It would be nice if Celebrity would move the smoking stations away from the cabin areas. I love to sleep to the sound of the ocean and felt cheated by having to keep my balcony door closed-- it might as well have been an inside room.

Glendakayself Posted November 7, 2009 #529 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Deck - Continental (6)Cabin # - 6231 Class – 2B Starboard or Port Side - Port Bed near?(balcony or bath) –Balcony Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – Connecting. No noise from neighbor, but quite a bit of creaking sounds. Balcony View - Unobstructed view. Cabin has tinted glass from "X" but was not an issue for us. Balcony Size? Normal or over sized for class? - Normal Was wind a problem? No If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? N/A Any specific problems with this cabin? No Any other comments? Cabin location was best on ship. Just fabulous. Cabin steward Victor was the best! Mystics1, I hope you do not mind if I post a comment on this cabin for Equinox. We found the creaking to be a major problem. Sleep was difficult with the smallest sea movement. Room stewart was not exceptional and had to be asked for a tote bag on the morning of first port day and a room service hang tag the day before our first early excursiion. Otherwise I totally agree with the Solstice poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beba-Beba Posted November 8, 2009 #530 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I just found this site. It has a wealth of information from the cruisers themselves that is unbiased and is so helpful. I am booked on Equinox in 2010 : Continental, cat 1A, #6236/starboard. Anybody have any comments on this cabin? Is the bed close to the balcony or the bathroom? From the deck plan it looks like a hump cabin, 1st cabin angled to the aft. From reading here this should be the largest of the balconies in that line? Is that true? I just moved from #6240 because it supposedly is 30% obstructed. The tenders are below but it looks like there is nothing below 6236. Are the aft facing hump balconies shady? Are cabins #6209 and #6210 on Continental really mis-categorized as cat 07 obstructed in error? From the deck plan both of these cabins look like they in reality should be cat 1As with huge balconies. I'm looking for a nice cabin for a friend on my cruise. Love love love this site.

Normal or oversized for class? - NORMAL Was wind a problem? NO If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? N/A Any specific problems with this cabin? Closet doors didn't slide open easily (which is probably common with these poorly designed closets!) Any other comments? Great location close to the front elevators and the Relaxation Room entrance. I want to note the cabin steward parks his service cart across this cabin. It was never a problem for us as it made for easy access to anything we needed...like maybe more chocolates!) :D Edited November 11, 2009 by Cy'all@C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note if connecting. ) – Yes Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – Great view of wake. Blue roof overhang of Tuscan Grill on deck below was not an issue and in my view an advantage (see other comments below). Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - 2nd widest of the aft cabins and from other cabins I saw on the side it was slightly wider than those. Standard depth. Was wind a problem? No If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? At times, but dependent upon wind direction as to where the smoke from the stack was blowing. Straight back - more soot. Out to the side a little - less or no soot. Any specific problems with this cabin? No apart from soot mentioned above and the lack of cover over the balcony which was an issue if it rained. Any other comments? I liked the lowest deck because it was more private. Noone looking up at you from the balcony below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note if connecting. ) – Very quiet room. Never heard anyone in the cabins next to us. Had to open the door in order to listen to any announcements by the captain. Noise to outside very quiet. Glass door closed tightly Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – Great views in all directions. Looking towards forward (right) we could see the angled balcony cabins. Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Normal size. Would like more space, but we were fine. Had foot rests with the chairs. Was wind a problem? No If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? N/A Any specific problems with this cabin? No Any other comments? Tight quarters, so I used used one of my suitcases under the bed for storage of items. Cabin near the aft elevators, which was nice; however, the elevators had problems - lots of waiting, so we used the stairs a lot to get to the Oceanview cafe (just 3 flights up).

JR_Janet Posted November 24, 2009 #544 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Equinox Cabin Deck - Continental Cabin # - 6290 Class – Verandah Starboard or Port Side - Starboard Bed near?(balcony or bath) – Bath Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – Very quiet Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – This cabin is near the back of the ship and there is a partial decking beyond the railing of the balcony. I guess this would be considered a partially obstructed view since we did not look straight down to ocean but we were not looking at lifeboats. Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - At cabin 6288, there is an angle to the balcony and from our balcony back to the end, they were larger. We had quite a bit more room compared to our friends in Concierge Class. I would definitely book 6290 again. Was wind a problem? No, in fact it was quite comfortable. Many that were on the port side for the transatlantic had warm balconies, but we were able to use it most of the time on the crossing. If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? Any specific problems with this cabin? None, some would prefer to have the bed by the window, so that would be cabin 6292. Any other comments?

SeaDays Posted November 24, 2009 #545 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Deck - 6 (Equinox, but should apply to Solstice) Cabin # - 6108 Class – 2B Starboard or Port Side - Starboard Bed near?(balcony or bath) – Balcony Quiet Cabin Generally yes. Bow thruster noise prominent in this far-forward cabin. Did not hear anything from the theatre. Balcony View - View was fine. This is the fourth cabin from the bow, and the first with a standard balcony. (6102,4, 6 were ahead of us and were set back in the hull a bit). Because of this, you can see the balconies ahead, and those folks can see you. On this deck, I would choose 6110 or higher within this category. Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Normal Was wind a problem? No. This cabin is near the bow and wave noise could be an issue. (But most of us CC fans might pay extra for it)! If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? N/A Any specific problems with this cabin? None Any other comments? See attached photo. It's from 6108 looking forward to 6102, 4, 6.

capellirossi Posted December 7, 2009 #550 Share Posted December 7, 2009 donna - I met you at the connections gathering - diana Deck - 10 Cabin # - 1257 Class – Concierge Starboard or Port Side - Port Bed near?(balcony or bath) – Balcony Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – Not as quiet as other ships. Neighbors' exterior doors banged loudly (hard to shut without making noise). Could hear noise from cabin above. Constant noise from air system; can't turn off fan. Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – View was okay for us but the suites that bulge out do block view directly to the front of ship. Wasn't a problem for us. Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Seemed adequate and typical. Was wind a problem? No. If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? Any specific problems with this cabin? No. Any other comments? Nice distance from elevator lobby - not too far to walk but did not have much "traffic" from other passengers. Cabin is right across from crew stairwell. This is good in an emergency as it was our evacuation route, and I always knew where our door was. Others may dislike seeing the stewards' cart parked outside much of the time. Our stewards (Enrico and Noly) were very attentive. Shower floor was not slanted enough to drain well without "brushing" water over the drain with our feet. Overall, a very comfortable cabin except for problems noted.
