jrby Posted December 19, 2011 #1476 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Deck - 8 Cabin # - 8185 Class – 1C Starboard or Port Side - Port Bed near? – Bath Quiet Cabin – Non -connecting, very quiet. Across the hall from a crew door leading to an elevator lobby and stairs, but not a sound from this, even when luggage was being moved up and down. No sound either from the port side forward gathering area on deck 5, even with our balcony door open at night. Balcony View - No obstructions / great view Balcony Size? - Normal Was wind a problem? No Any specific problems with this cabin? None Any other comments? This cabin is further aft than might be inferred from the deck plan - just 25 steps from the nearest elevator. Very convenient for getting to the Solarium, Sky lounge, and Equinox theatre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prim8keeper Posted December 23, 2011 #1478 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Ship: Solstice Cabin #: 1610 Deck #: 11 Class: AQ Area: Starboard Bed Near: Bathroom Quiet?: Very, occasionally we heard the stray chair or music from above but nothing that was ever bothersome. Balcony View: Excellent, you could see forward, down and out. Balcony Size: Huge! The balcony was very deep as it was located on the hump. Wind a problem?: No In an aft cabin, was soot a problem?: n/a Any specific problems with this cabin? None Any other comments? We loved this cabin so much we booked it for our next cruise. It is a great location, mid ship, very close to the elevators, and the huge covered balcony is wonderful. It kept our balcony nice and cool. We were actually amazed how hot it was when we went up to the pool deck. We would get some sun though through out the day, however if you are looking for a balcony that gets lots of sun I would pick another cabin. This cabin is made even better when you know the people next to you in 1608 and can open up the divider to create a super balcony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarylady19 Posted December 25, 2011 #1479 Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) Ship: Eclipse Cabin #: 1520 Deck #: 11 Class: AQ Area: starboard, forward Bed near: Bath Quiet?: No. This cabin is under the gym and the thump, thump of the treadmills could be heard from very early morning on. There were other loud, shuddering noises from time to time also. The cabin steward's cart was parked right outside the door.[/i][/b] Balcony view: No obstructions.. View forward (quite close to the bridge wing) and aft. Balcony size: Normal. unshaded, but we didn't get a lot of sun on the E. Carib. itinerary on this side of the ship. Wind a problem? No Soot a problem?: N/A Comments: I would not book in this forward location again. While it was convenient to pop up to the Aquaspa (cabin is directly across from the secret staircase) and is close to the forward elevators, it was noisy and we experienced a lot of motion on several days of the cruise.

nycmode Posted December 30, 2011 #1484 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Celebrity Silhouette Deck - 11 Cabin # - 1665 Class – S1 Starboard or Port Side - Port Bed near?(balcony or bath) – Balcony Quiet Cabin – Extremely quiet and private. You're on the corner of the ship, so you won't hear annoying people stomping or talking in the hallways. Totally quiet. Balcony View - Totally awesome. Given the corner location you get an amazingly wide view of the ocean, ports etc. I happened to have a camera that takes panoramic images and the corner suite was perfect for it. Balcony Size? - VERY large balcony that curves at the corner of the ship. You get an aft view, along with a port side view as well. Was wind a problem? - Not really. Even on windy days, it seemed like other parts of the ship had it worse than we did. If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? - There was soot on our balcony, but not really as much as I expected. There was some on the floor, but really not that much. The cabin adjacent to me seemed to get it worse for some reason (wind direction maybe?). Any specific problems with this cabin? - I can honestly say I experienced zero problems with the cabin whatsoever. It was as perfect as can be. The only caveat is (and this isn't really a problem per se) that the cabin is in the far back corner of the ship. That means it going to be a trek each time you need to go to the elevators or stairways at midship. I personally liked it because I needed to walk off all the food I ate, but for people who are handicapped or have trouble walking, the distance could be a problem. Any other comments? - The room is noted to have an "awkward" layout. There is a somewhat annoying support beam right next to the bed, which I walked into in the middle of the night. But other than that the room is spacious, comfortable, and a great place to spend an extended vacation. The balcony is truly awesome. The bathroom is fairly large and the shower works great. The water pressure and temperature were both just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Milhouse Posted December 31, 2011 #1485 Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) Ship: Equinox Deck - 6 Cabin # 6296 Class – 2C Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom Veranda, Partially Obstructed View Starboard or Port Side - Starboard Bed near?(balcony or bath) – Balcony Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – Quiet. Did not hear Silk Harvest below us. Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. - Partially obstructed view with the roof of Silk Harvest extended out from the veranda. You cannot look directly down but view outward is fine. See pix. Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Balcony approximately a foot extended. Was wind a problem? Wind was only slightly a problem during windy days but was fine during normal days. If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? No Any specific problems with this cabin? None Any other comments? It's a bit of a walk to the aft stairs/elevators. Starts getting a bit tedious if you frequently return to your cabin.

oneanddone Posted January 3, 2012 #1493 Share Posted January 3, 2012 We had 2 rooms. Both are below: ship: Eclipse cabin: 2107 Deck 12 Class: C2 Veranda area: port, near aft elevators. Very convenient to pool area, elevators and stairs to cafe. Bed: near balcony Quiet: no noise at all, in fact, I was amazed at how quiet it was given proximity to the main pool and the oceanview cafe. Others have commented that these deck 12 rooms have noise from the cafe, but this is absolutely not true midship. At this location on the ship, the only area of the cafe that overlaps is carpeted. Balcony View: no obstructions, at least double size. On the back slope of the hum Wind: not a problem Soot: not a problem ship: Eclipse cabin: 2109 Deck 12 Class: C2 Veranda area: port, near aft elevators. Very convenient to pool area, elevators and stairs to cafe. I would stay in this area of the ship again in a heartbeat Bed: near bath Quiet: no noise at all, in fact, I was amazed at how quiet it was given proximity to the main pool and the oceanview cafe. Others have commented that these deck 12 rooms have noise from the cafe, but this is absolutely not true midship. At this location on the ship, the only area of the cafe that overlaps is carpeted.

bighairtexan Posted January 5, 2012 #1494 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Solstice and Eclipse (12/11/11 and 12/3/11) Cabin: 9382 on both Class: C1 Aft... dead center Bed near balcony VERY quiet. We never heard a thing from anyone above, below or next to us Balcony view: aft view, center. Balcony size: all the largest aft balconies are in the center (suites not included). This was the largest of the C1's balcony. Wind: not a problem Soot: there was some soot each day, near the railing especially. My BF went out on the balcony in his white shirt and came in w/ little black flecks. They seemed to clean it regularly so I wouldn't say it was a major problem. FAR from elevators. During the day I loved the exercise. At 2AM it seemed like a very long walk. We had 9382 a week apart on Eclipse and Solstice and everything was identical.

CruisinCadie Posted January 16, 2012 #1498 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Equinox Deck 6 Cabin #6250 near midship/aft elevators Class 2C Starboard Bed near bath Very quiet, except when one of our neighbors would leave the cabin, setting the lock so the door would not completely close, and then just let the door bang. Partially obstructed balcony with supports for the lifeboats. We could see between them, and we had no problems looking over the railing. The lifeboats are lit at night, so it's not a good place for star-gazing. Balcony size normal Wind was only a problem a few times. Mostly it was very peaceful and excellent for reading and relaxing. Specific problems--Overhead storage--the first night, when we went to bed, the bins were closed. When we woke up the next morning, they were wide open. Don't put anything heavy or solid in there. Other comments--Love the night light in the bathroom. Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken Crab Posted January 16, 2012 #1499 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Deck - Sunrise Cabin # - 7161 Class – Eclipse (S Class) Starboard or Port Side - Port Bed near?(balcony or bath) – Balcony Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – Quiet cabin.. Not connecting Balcony View - No obstructions.. The balcony sat right above the life boats. Balcony Size? Over-sized due to hump location. Cabin just to the front of ours had a huge balcony, FYI. Was wind a problem? No If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? NA Any specific problems with this cabin? No problems.. Any other comments? As I said, the balcony was about 20% larger for the class due to being angled as a hump cabin. It faced aft so wind wasn't an issue. Easy access to the front elevators.

65Cardinal Posted January 18, 2012 #1500 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Bighairtexan - We have 9382 on the Equinox for a B2B at the end of February. Is the veranda large enough for a lounge chair and/or big table? I know the veranda is a bit wider than all the other aft cabins but is the cabin also wider? Look forward to your response.
