DCguys Posted May 3, 2010 #777 Share Posted May 3, 2010 If a cabin has a good rating on the Equinox, does that mean it's good on Solstice too??? we just booked Solstice 7177. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueboro Posted May 3, 2010 #778 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Deck -8 Cabin # - 8232 Class – ? - Balcony on Starboard side Bed near?(balcony or bath) –Balcony Quiet Cabin – Yes. Even though the glass doors to the elevator foyer are across from the cabin, the doors open and close automatically and really deaden any noise of people waiting on an elevator. Some TV noise from next cabin. Balcony View - No obstructions. Great View. Balcony Size? I assume standard but larger than other balconies we have had on other ships. Was wind a problem? No If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? N/A Any specific problems with this cabin? None Any other comments? Great location convenient to aft elevators and atrium. On the hump and excellent views.

laralisa Posted May 4, 2010 #779 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Deck - 6 Cabin # 6139 wheelchair accessible cabin Class – 2B Starboard or Port Side - PORT Bed near?(balcony or bath) – BATH Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – VERY QUIET Balcony View – No Obstructions, no lifeboats, great view (we loved being close to the water). Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Oversized with wheelchair ramp. Was wind a problem? No If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? N/A Any specific problems with this cabin? Because the shower is " wheel in " we had to be careful of the water flowing out - but our wonderful attendant Gabriel rolled a pool towel around the bottom of the curtain every day and problem was solved. Any other comments? - very roomy cabin, automatic door(which was amazing and made entry and exit so easy), large bathroom , large cupboard, amazing cabin for handicapped. We were right above the open area of deck 5 where smoking was allowed but hardly anyone ever used it and if they did we never noticed or smelled any smoke.

librarylady19 Posted May 4, 2010 #780 Share Posted May 4, 2010 If a cabin has a good rating on the Equinox, does that mean it's good on Solstice too??? we just booked Solstice 7177. From what I've read, Solstice & Equinox have the same layout but Equinox does not have the x on the balcony glass. Eclipse has a slightly different layout and the numbers are not identical on the new ship I believe. Which is why it's important to include ship name in your cabin posting!

Lyn Mc Posted May 5, 2010 #783 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Hi Library Lady, we had a fantastic pre- and inaugural cruise with some family members (despite some mishaps!) so here is the info on 4 Eclipse Cabins as promised: SHIP: Eclipse CABIN #: 6233 DECK (#): Continental Deck 6 CLASS: 2B AREA: Hump BED NEAR: Bathroom QUIET? Yes BALCONY VIEW: Great BALCONY SIZE: Normal WIND A PROBLEM?: Not really (but it was wet & windy weather anyway!!) so couldn’t really tell SOOT A PROBLEM?: No PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: Convenient cabin for smokers, deck 5 below was the smoking area SHIP: Eclipse CABIN #: 1073 DECK (#):Sky Deck 10 CLASS: CC AREA: Hump BED NEAR: Window QUIET? Yes BALCONY VIEW: Great BALCONY SIZE: Normal WIND A PROBLEM?: No SOOT A PROBLEM?: No PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: Very little storage in any of these cabins, we thought the cabins with the beds near the bath seemed to have more room but this is just an impression as they are all the same size. Wardrobes are not quite full depth of normal robes and getting to your clothes in the wardrobes is a problem whichever way the room is laid out!!! SHIP: Eclipse CABIN #: 1667 DECK (#):Penthouse Deck 11 CLASS: Sky Suite AREA: Aft BED NEAR: Bathroom QUIET? Yes – could hear other loos being flushed occasionally BALCONY VIEW: Aft – great view BALCONY SIZE: Normal depth but wider because of extra side window WIND A PROBLEM?: Not at all SOOT A PROBLEM?: We did not notice any soot at all on our balcony PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: Fantastic room, loads of storage space, proper size wardrobes and loads of deep drawers etc. Bathroom has a bath with very large Grohe shower head and mirrored cabinets. Wish we could afford this cabin on every cruise!!!! SHIP: Eclipse CABIN #: 1108 DECK (#): Sky Deck 10 CLASS: CC AREA: Hump BED NEAR: Bathroom QUIET? Yes BALCONY VIEW: Great BALCONY SIZE: 3 x larger than normal but had a deep overhang – wasn’t much sun on this short trip so don’t know how much shade this would give when in sunnier climates WIND A PROBLEM?: Not really (but it was wet & windy weather anyway!!) so couldn’t really tell SOOT A PROBLEM?: Not at all PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: As others have said very little storage Happy Sailings, Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Londoners Posted May 8, 2010 #788 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Cabin # 2128 Ship Eclipse Deck Resort (12) Class Sky Suite 2 Area Starboard aft (about midway between aft elevators and aft) Bed Near Balcony Quiet Quiet most of the time (see comments) Balcony View Large overhead overhang but no problems Size Normal for class Wind Not a problem Soot None noticed Comments: we were not disturbed by the occasional noise overhead and IMHO only the lightest of sleeper would be woken however, between the aft elevator and cabin 2124 the corridor was noisy, noise coming from a staff service room - don't know if the cabins were affected by this as we didn't go into any of them - corridor quiet by cabin 2126. Convenient for pool and oceanview cafe one deck up. Would happily book again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balcony View - No obstructions. Great View. Balcony Size? Normal Was wind a problem? No If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? N/A Any specific problems with this cabin? None Any other comments? Looking at deck plans and counting back, we expected bed near bathroom. However, we liked the bed near balcony configuration of this cabin and would book same again.

Coli Posted May 9, 2010 #790 Share Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) Deck - 12 (Resort) Cabin # - 2115 Class – Sky Starboard or Port Side - Port Bed near?(balcony or bath) –Bath Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – No issues with noise at all and I'm not a heavy sleeper. We had no issues with the cafe being above us. Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – Only slight concern is the overhang from deck 14 and not being able to see around the 'hump' cabins. Not really an issue - we enjoyed chatting to our neighbors and if we really wanted sun - well the pool was on our deck! Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Normal for class. Two great adjustable chairs with ottomans and a table for whatever meal you wished. Was wind a problem? No If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? n/a Any specific problems with this cabin? We had no issues with this cabin, loads of storage space, no funny smells, no noise. Any other comments? Loved this class and I'd travel in it again - the extra space is wonderful for longer cruises. We had a cruise critic cabin crawl so we got to see several different cabins and yeah we had people who wanted to rent our bathtub! :D Video of the cabin: Edited May 9, 2010 by Coli Can't spell.

dersar Posted May 10, 2010 #791 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Cabin: # 1084 Ship: Solstice Deck: 10 Class: Inside Cabin Quiet: No (see comments) Balcony: N/A Size: Cabin had two chairs instead of couch. More square than other cabins we saw. Good layout. Comments: The cabin had a staff service area on one side. Starting at about 4am there was a ton of noise - clanging, moving stuff around, hammering, etc. etc. It woke us up almost every night. Very difficult to sleep at night!

Durkman Posted May 10, 2010 #792 Share Posted May 10, 2010 (edited) Solstice Deck - 11 Cabin # - 1604 Class – AQ Starboard or Port Side - Starboard Bed near?(balcony or bath) – Balcony Quiet Cabin – Not really. The pool deck is directly above this cabin (and all aft AQ hump cabins 1599, 1601, 1603, 1605, 1604, 1606, 1608 and 1610). There is definitely some noise in the morning (around 6-6:30) when the pool butlers are setting up deck chairs, and light noise throughout the day due to people walking/moving chairs/etc. Balcony View - Good (both forward and starboard), although the pool deck overhang is directly above the balcony. Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Oversized. One side of the balcony (adjacent 1602) has the standard width, and the balcony then extends diagonally outward towards 1606 (which also has an extended angled balcony). Was wind a problem? Not at all. Very sheltered, despite the fact that the balcony is angled towards the bow of the ship. If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? N/A. Any specific problems with this cabin? No. Any other comments? Great cabin location, close to main elevator bank (but shielded from elevator noise by ultra-quiet sliding glass doors). Noise from above might be our only specific complaint, though it didn't really bother us that much. The fact that these aft hump cabins are, in fact, directly below the pool deck is not well-reported on CC. IMO the great location and extra space on the balcony makes up for the noise though. Despite suggestions to the contrary (by other CC members), this balcony is very private--those in forward balconies can only see you (and you can see them) if you are standing along the rail of the balcony.

benemac Posted May 14, 2010 #793 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Deck - Sky Cabin# - 1206 Class - Concierge Class Starboard or Port Side - Aft Bed near?(balcony or bath) – Balcony Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting) – Quiet; it was not connecting to another room. Balcony View; give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue – No obstuction. Wake view which was lit up at night - very pretty. Had afternoon sun at beginning of cruise (very hot with no wind) and morning sun on return. Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - longest of the aft balconies. Our friends had the cabin next to us (1208) and we had the steward open up the door on the balcony so we could drag their chairs and another table on our side. They had a medium length balcony; not the smallest. Was wind a problem? - Not at all. Wished there was some wind. If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? - I don't recall ever having a problem. There was a smoking lounge on the top deck, but I never smelled the smokers or had issues. The smoke from the ship did fly over us, but again, I don't recall having to wipe any furniture down. Maybe the steward did it. Any specific problems with this cabin? - I liked the layout. Made it easier to get into the closet. 1208 had a problem because the bed was next to the closet. Our only problem would be staying out on the balcony for an extended period of time. With no wind, it got very hot. And the walk to the closest elevator is long, but not horrible for those without issues. Any other comments? - Being in a concierge room got us flowers in the room and a rose in the bathroom which slowly opened as the week progressed. The rose didn't make it on the last 2 days and was not replaced. Cheese & crackers daily. 2 chocolates nightly. Champagne at beginning of cruise. And fruit in the morning. The towels were very plush and large. Wonderful beds and pillows. Not sure if the regular balcony rooms get the nice pillows, bedding and towels, but we really didn't need all the crackers and fruit daily. Would have been nice to change it up daily or maybe get a different gift as the cruise progressed. So Concierge may not be a necessity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Greybeard Posted May 15, 2010 #797 Share Posted May 15, 2010 (edited) Deck - 9 (Solstice) Cabin # - 9122 Class – 1B Starboard or Port Side - Starboard Bed near?(balcony or bath) – Bath Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – Yes, very quiet, did not connect. Fwd location minimized people walking past the room. Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – View was great. As someone already commented it was interesting seeing into the bridge and watching the crew Balcony Size? 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? Would have preferred a configuration with the bed near the balcony. We have moved one room down on planned Equinox TA so as to get a cabin with the bed near the balcony (we hope). Any other comments? Safe was in an awkward location on the Solstice. Understanding is on later ships in this class they move the safe. We'll see on Equinox TA in 2011.
