Hey there FinelyCruising! We just returned from March 22 sailing aboard Solstice and also had the pleasure of staying in 8252! We also loved the room (However this was our first cruise so I dont have a lot to compare it too).

 

Yes, the balcony is one of the larger angled ones AFTER the "hump". Thanks for confirming that the deck plans are flawed! Now I know.

 

The only complaint I have about this room is the creaking in the ceiling when the ship rolls in the big swells (for all I know this could be common to all ships and state rooms). At one point after listening carefully for hours one night, I convinced myself that tiny sheet-metal screws (left behind by the workers) were rolling around between the ceiling panels! My helpful room steward (Cipriano) assured me that I was indeed going crazy and that these sounds were normal. :o

Attached is the updated spreadsheet as of 4/9/09. I now have several duplicated numbers. Those are in red font so if you see a cabin number in red there should be more than one review there.

**There are also now two cabins listed on deck 8 that are shown incorrectly on the deck plans - these comments are highlighted in yellow with red font. **

Please do not post here unless you are supplying information on the cabins. If you have a question concerning some of the information, create a new thread on the main board. That will prevent this thread from becoming cluttered.

Please assist me in keeping this thread on topic. It was created so that I can compile information on cabins into a spreadsheet that will serve as a tool for everyone in their cabin selection.

Do not post here asking about a cabin that is not listed on the spreadsheet. When someone returns with information on a cabin it will be posted here and then put on the spreadsheet. Posting questions " Need Info on Cabin# XXXX" just clutters up this thread. You will get better results by posting your questions on the main board.

If you are looking for info on a specific cabin return to this thread weekly and see if anyone returning from the previous week's cruise has reported back.

9173 is a category 1B. It's listed as a ? on the spreadsheet. And you can see lifeboats when looking straight down but otherwise no obstructions.

Class – AQ

Starboard or Port Side - Starboard

Bed near?(balcony or bath) –Bath

 

Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – At about 7:30 am every morning it sounded as if someone was scooping ice and rolling a cart. There is a service door right across the hall that might have contributed to this noise. I am a light sleeper and it woke me up every morning.

 

Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – The balcony does have life boats below that obstruct from your straight down view of the water. There is also a poll to the right of the balcony that didn't really obstruct from your view.

 

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Normal sized

 

Was wind a problem? No

 

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? No

 

Any specific problems with this cabin? Just the noise at around 7:30 am every morning.

 

Any other comments?

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? Yes. There was a lot of soot on this balcony as well as some fly away garbage from Sunset Bar.

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
