cruise candy Posted August 10, 2010 #927 Share Posted August 10, 2010 9259--Regular size balcony on Panorama Deck--you are correct! How quickly I forget. ..... My seapass said C1 class, but the deck plan does show that to be a C3. Who knows??? I didn't pay extra for the C class and had gold seapass--big deal! Liked the quiet location. Ready to go again, but cannot escape my family! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpluta Posted August 17, 2010 #934 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hi. Where's the link. I'm looking at 1610 for a 2011 cruise. Thanks. I copied this from another thread. Noticed it because I have this cabin on Equinox next Jan: "We had AQ 1610, and liked everything but Blu. It was okay,but we much preferred the speciality restaurants. I liked everything else about AQ, and our cabin had a large angled hump balcony. The room(on deck 11) was very quiet. I posted a review,pictures and attachments on a google page I created. We are going on the Equinox in the fall, and will try AQ again. Here's the link. I thought the Solstice was great. Have a great cruise on the ship."

Januarysent Posted August 19, 2010 #937 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Ship - Equinox Deck - Continental Cabin # - 6216 Class – Deluxe OV with Verandah Starboard or Port Side - Starboard Bed near? Balcony Quiet Cabin– No noise at all, despite being in a high traffic area. Balcony View - Storage box for life jackets under the window, but not a problem. Balcony Size? Normal for class. On the hump. 180 degree views. Was wind a problem? No If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? This is a midship cabin. Any specific problems with this cabin? No. In fact, this cabin is low down midship and had a lot less movement than other areas of the ship. It is also very near elevators and stairs, Celebrity Central, Cafe al Bacio and access for other areas of the ship. Any other comments? I was very happy with this cabin's location and steward.

jackdiamond Posted August 21, 2010 #938 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I am in the process of booking on the Solstice for the June 15 Med Cruise. One of my options for a balcony room is #8343 which would have been the balcony at the end right before your #8281. Did you like your location? I've never been in the back before. My other option is on the Penthouse deck #1525 which is about 11 cabins back from the front. I'm worried about movement and wind at that location. Any ideas? Thanks, Lisa Please observe the proscriptions set forth by the creators of this thread. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackdiamond Posted August 21, 2010 #940 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I have one question, well maybe two. How do you go about finding out all this info?And second what makes the difference between categories of cabins? Since I booked a balcony Cat.2C, I notice for only a few hundred I can get a higher up deck, so now I wonder what the difference is. Maybe you can share some of your experience, please?:confused: msliv Please observe the rules for this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yogagal47 Posted August 23, 2010 #942 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Ship : Solstice Deck: 11 Cabin #: 1606 Side: Starboard Class: Aqua Location: Midships Bed: By bath Balcony: very deep Wind: rarely Soot: none Noise: mostly quiet. Occasionally heard voices from 1608 and tv from 1604. While on our balcony we could hear music from pool deck on sea days when band was playing. It was very loud the night of the salsa party on deck but we went to the party and went to bed after the music stopped. View: very nice-saw a manta ray diving out of the water as we sailed out of St. Thomas. view is good directly out and forward, blocked to the right. Comments: The overhang protects from the sun. We had our cabin steward open panels to 1608 and 1610. there is an awkward climb over a bar to go from 1606 to 1608 but it is doable. The balcony felt very private due to its depth. The proximity to the atrium elevators is great. There is a cabin attendant's closet between 1606 and 1608 but we were not aware of any noise from it. You can walk all the way down the hall to the forward elevators, walk up one level and you are at the Aquaspa, aquaspa cafe and the solarium which is super convenient.

Andy C Posted August 23, 2010 #944 Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) Ship - Solstice Deck - Promenade (I think?) Cabin # - 9101 Class – Veranda 1b Starboard or Port Side - Port Bed near?(balcony or bath) – Bath Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – NOT quiet. Since it was at the very front (the first one) it was right next to a "crew only" door that we could hear opening/shutting at all hours day and night (although thankfully not too often). Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – No obstruction unless looking up since Captain's fly bridge hung right above and to the right of the balcony - thus limited privacy on the balcony. Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Normal size Was wind a problem? No If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? Any specific problems with this cabin? Noise from crew door opening and shutting at all hours. Any other comments? It was a bit of walk but not too bad.

cricri7 Posted August 24, 2010 #946 Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) Hi.....I was on the August 15th cruise and will share my opinions about the cabin I stayed in the Solstice ship: Deck - Deck 8 Cabin # - 8104 Class – Starboard or Port Side - neither....right in the front of the ship..There is a window but it is at an angle. If you look at a picture of the ship, they are the cabins right in the front. Bed near?(balcony or bath) –the bed is near the the bathroom and the sofa near the window Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) –In general, it is a quiet cabin. You hear the anchor early in the morning when you get into port but I am a early riser so I did not mind too much but if you like to sleep in late, don't book it. I also had teenagers roaming the halls at night but I hope you don't encounter this on your cruise:) Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Was wind a problem? If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? Any specific problems with this cabin? You have to keep the curtains closed during the day because the cabin gets quite hot because of the angle of the windows, which you do not get if you have a standard window on starboard or port side. You can look at a picture of the ship, they are the windows right in front at an angle, and see why this is the case. Any other comments? It is a huge cabin! It is larger than many cabins I have stayed in. I really loved the cabin. You have space even for a couple.

librarylady19 Posted August 28, 2010 #949 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Please, resist the urge to respond to questions on this thread. As has been stated many times, there are other avenues for asking questions, i.e. on the Celebrity board. If others respond to these questions, it will only encourage others to post their questions here. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joaniet Posted August 28, 2010 #950 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Here is the update to Mysticks spreadsheet. It includes threads posted from October 27, 2009 to the present. (I still have a few pages of posts from fall 2009 to add but wanted to get this out to those who were waiting). Generally, I have followed the design created by Mysticks - why mess with success. Modifications include: Addition of ship name when provided (please do so in future posts) Deck listed by # rather than name, for space purposes Negative comments that affect the desirability of the cabin have been noted in red, boldface. Comments on other ship issues etc. are generally not noted in red as they are not strictly cabin-related. Whenever comments are long, there is a reference to "see comments" and these have been posted in the "Problems/Comments" column. The spreadsheet is formatted for landscape, legal size (it was too difficult to try to fit all the valuable comments into a smaller format). Please let me know if you see any errors or omissions. I will be updating the spreadsheet regularly. You may email me at cruisefansandi@gmail.com I hope many of you find this useful; I know that Mysticks original spreadsheet has been very helpful to me as has CC in general. Cheers!:o Many Thanks! You did a terrific job on this. We are sailing on the solstice on 9/12, when we return I'll let you know about AQ cabin# 1531, as I did not see it in your list. Again,many thanks.
