Solstice angled balcony 8257

[Blossom3]

Hi

 

Have just booked 8257 after reading all the very helpful advice about the angled balconies. However I must have missed the part about deck 8 deckplans being incorrect. Can anyone confirm that I have made a good choice and that it is indeed the first cabin forward of the hump?

 

Thank You

Cabins with large balconies

Found this earlier - sounded interesting. I had saved this from another thread. Seems like good info! "I personally LOVED my C1 hump cabin #1243 - about triple the size of a standard balcony - it was HUGE!!!!! Literally the largest non-suite balcony on the ship! The balcony was great for hosting cocktail parties - we had 25+ people out there one day! Being on the aft part of the hump there was virtually no wind issue to deal with. We got sun when we wanted it, and shade if desired as well. Due to balcony depth there were no privacy issues related to the angled shape.

 

There are 58 +/- cabins with the same size balcony we had - they are:

 

Resort Deck: 2105, 2109, 2106, 2110

Penthouse Deck: 1547, 1552, 1601, 1605, 1606, 1610

Sky Deck: 1075, 1044, 1231, 1243, 1247, 1108, 1120, 1124

Panorama Deck: 9155, 9192, 9209, 9215, 9237, 9241, 9266, 9270, 9292, 9296

Vista Deck: 8189, 8162, 8255, 8257, 8253, 8236, 8226, 8232, 8279, 8283, 8252, 8256 from corrected deck plan

Sunrise Deck: 7159, 7206, 7215, 7219, 7241, 7245, 7260, 7264, 7286, 7290

Continental Deck: 6155, 6156, 6209, 6215, 6237, 6241, 6210, 6214, 6236, 6240

 

Most of these are on the hump, but some are forward where the ship starts to indent. The rooms run the range from Category 2C, 1A, C1, or AQ (with the exception of 6209/6210 which are categorized as 07 Obstucted Balcony - great balcony at a small price!). There are also many cabins adjacent to the ones I listed that also have oversized balconies that are about double the size of normal ones, but I would go for the triple sized ones first :D

It will be interesting to see what they do with the price of the other catgories.

Thanks, dont suppose anyone has a photo?

Here's a thumbnail that will help you understand balcony size of the angled balconies. Stateroom 9215 is directly above yours. The bed in your stateroom is situated closest to the balcony. You'll be very pleased with this 1A stateroom.

You're copying and pasting this thing just about everywhere, and it's still incorrect. See my post here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=28261455&postcount=128

 

The actual list of largest angled balconies on deck 8 should be: 8160 & 8197 in the fore, and flanking the hump: 8226, 8230, 8252, 8253, 8256, 8257, 8279, 8283

 

If you want to include the list of the 2nd largest balconies on the angle by the hump, they are: 8162 & 8199 in the fore, and 8224, 8228, 8251, 8254, 8255, 8258, 8281, and 8285 around the hump

 

 

Aft cabins are a different story that's a little murkier because of the inclusion of Sky Suites, SV, additional cabins in newer S-class ships, stuff like that.

I'm sure that 8257 is the same as 8253...Here are some of our photos

 

 

 

 

 

this was the last life boat.....so your cabin would have a clear view.

 

 

 

 

Balcony was great.....lots of room. Enjoy
