PROBLEMS/COMMENTS:

[Jazzbo]

Deck - 11

Cabin # - 1608 Solstice

Class – AQ

Starboard or Port Side - Starboard

Bed near?(balcony or bath) –balcony

 

Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – We occasionally heard neighbors on the balcony when we were out there. There was a crew station/closet right outside the door, and we could hear them occasionally. Quiet at night, no sound from the pool deck.

 

Balcony View - Great view. We could see out, down, and forward. On the forward-facing slant of the hump, so aft view was somewhat blocked.

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Oversized. Not the largest hump cabin, but nice and roomy.

Was wind a problem? -- Only because it was windy leaving Ft. Lauderdale.

 

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? N/A

 

Any specific problems with this cabin? -- The left sliding closet door stuck.

 

Any other comments? It was a little difficult getting into the right side of the closet because there was very little room between the end of the sofa and the closet. It was a little difficult getting into the left side of the closet because that door stuck. Could have used a little more drawer storage in the cabin, but managed OK with the cupboards above the bed. Would book this cabin again without hesitation if the price were right!

Ship: Solstice

 

Cabin: 6297- 2C aft

 

Deck: 6

 

Area: Port

 

Bed Near: Bathroom

 

Quiet? Yes, very quiet- unless the next door guests had their TV on too loud. Could clearly hear all balcony conversations on both sides of the room if neighbors were outside.

 

Balcony View: Obstructed view below by the tarred roof of the specialty restaurants that extended out by about another 10 feet from our balcony. That area had three rows of rope on the edge for fencing that was visible as you looked outward through our balcony clear fencing. Distance views straight outward were unobstructed. Workmen were out on the roof every day the ship was in port- walking past your room with hoses and tools.

 

Balcony Size: A little larger by a few feet in length as it jutted out further than the balcony above.

 

Wind?: None

 

Soot?: None

 

Comments: This was the cabin assigned to us with a GTY reservation. Considering we paid only $630 each as the base price from a big cabin sale online we had few complaints. Any higher price and it would have been worth it to pay more for a better non obstructed view. We rarely used the balcony because of the rope barrier obstruction and workmen presence.

Cabin # - 1531

Class – AQ

Starboard or Port Side - Port

Bed near?(balcony or bath) – bath

 

Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – quiet as to deck above and below, considerate neighbors as well, near the gym and spa, and aqua spa cafe one deck up for early coffee and light fare

Balcony View - perfect in all directions

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Normal

Was wind a problem? Never

 

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? N/A

 

Any specific problems with this cabin? None really, a little more room would be nice but not really a factor in comfort

 

Any other comments? Very comfortable bed, bath very well appointed, unique shower, would want this cabin again, best room attendants we've ever had, Phillipe and Corazon, their station was near by, kept us in ice and anything we asked for.

[Ginger Pop]

We were on the Solstice in Aqua Class room 1539 and it was awful. The bed was next to the closet so couldn't get in to the closet very well, above was noisy-clanging pots etc. After a fitfull night we went to book another cruise and the gal told us to go down to the desk and ask for the manager. I did and told him how silverware was dropped at 4:30 am, noisy above and how very disappointed I was in the room. He checked-we were under the Aqua class breakfast kitchen. The room steward told us everyone claims it's noisy. They moved us and I was very happy to opposite side way back. Then quiet.

[Bobby Dee]

SHIP: Equinox

CABIN #: 1586

DECK #: 11

CLASS: AQ

AREA: Starboard Side Midships

BED NEAR: Bathroom

QUIET?: Not really. Early Morning noises from the Pool deck above. Banging noises from an unlocated source for a couple of hours one night when trying to go to sleep, required a call to get it checked out. But every ship I've ever been on has had noises.

BALCONY VIEW: Good view. Support Beam for pool deck on right side seemed to disappear when not thinking about it.

BALCONY SIZE: Standard

WIND A PROBLEM?: No

SOOT A PROBLEM?: No

PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: I had no problems with the closet being next to the bed, nor was the overhead storage too high, and I'm 5'6". Room location was ideal, half way between both elevator banks.

Deck - 11 Penthouse

Cabin # - 1567

Class – AQ

Starboard or Port Side - Port

Bed near?(balcony or bath) – Bath

 

Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – A little noise from the pool above in the AM but not too bad.

 

Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – Excellent

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? No

 

Any other comments? Service door directly acroos from room but no noise problem. Bed can be seperated to 2 twins if desired.

[kicker]

Concierge C3 Stateroom. Standard sized room with the typical Concierge amenities. Bed was near the closet - we (3 of us) didn't think it crowded the closet - still had easy access. Our adult DD slept on the sofa (a twin mattress pulls out from underneath and rests on the sofa).

 

What I liked best was the cabin's location, just off the forward elevators but still almost mid-ship. The elevators are far enough from the door that we never heard any noise from that area.

[kicker]

Positives: nicely laid out; bed near the closet, still easy access to the closet.

 

Possible Negative: its underneath the stores - we heard nothing during day & evening hours, but overnight you could hear movement (I'm assuming crew passageways with movement of carts). I slept there several nights (we took turns, having 2 cabins, watching our DGD in this one); it didn't bother me but it might bother a light sleeper.

BALCONY SIZE: Huge, at least twice as large as normal & on an angle facing aft

WIND A PROBLEM?: No

AREA: Center Aft

BED NEAR: Balcony

QUIET?: Yes, very

BALCONY VIEW: Wonderful

BALCONY SIZE: Larger than normal

WIND A PROBLEM?: No

SOOT A PROBLEM?: No

PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: Neighboring cabin had bed near closet, which we thought was better than near balcony, but as week went on decided we liked ours better - more room when getting ready. Long walk to elevator, so don't book if that's a problem. Had noisy neighbors, but since they was our friends not really a problem at all!

Deck - 8th deck

Cabin # - 8258

Class – 1A

Starboard or Port Side - Starboard

Bed near?(balcony or bath) – bath

 

Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – Very Quiet, not connecting

 

Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – Excellent balcony, cannot see straight to water due to lifeboats. Hump balcony, rear facing.

 

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Oversized, on the hump.

 

Was wind a problem? Not a problem, actually because rear facing probably protected from most wind in our experience.

 

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? N/A

 

Any specific problems with this cabin? Nothing

 

Any other comments? Excellent cabin. Not sure I believe pp that it was one of biggest of the hump balconies. It was assingned to us as a guarantee, and when I looked it up it said it was one of the larger of the hump balconies, but I think 8256 was definitely bigger. Not a problem, more than large enough for the 2 of us.

Ship: Equinox

 

Cabin #: 1570

 

Deck #: 11

 

Class: Aqua

 

Area: Midship, starboard side

 

Bed near: Bath

 

Quiet: No noise from pool deck above except one day when someone cranked the band's amp up by mistake for a few seconds. We did notice that there was a significant amount of noise from the crashing bow wake below. This was much louder than on any previous cruise we have taken. We both liked it, but if you want peace and quiet go further aft.

 

Balcony View: There was a support pole for the overhang above that partially blocked the view. It was located about a fourth of the way from the aft edge of the balcony.

 

Balcony size: Normal

 

Wind a problem: No

 

Soot a problem: No

 

Problems/Comments: The carts used by the cabin attendants were parked directly outside the cabin door most of the day.

[BPutnam]

WIND A PROBLEM?: No

SOOT A PROBLEM?: N/A

Starboard or Port Side - Starboard

I looked up the thread re the cabin number, but no info for this cabin. i think there was info for 1580, should i assume the same for this cabin?

#1577, was noisy. am i on the opposite side of the ship, since I am in a even cabin versus an odd cabin?

 

also does anyone know if the bed is closer to the balcony or bathroom? do people prefer one over the other or is it pretty even as to preference?

 

this is OT but are all hop on hop off buses in a city the same company? when I google it, there are different sites, is one company better than another? should i buy the ticket ahead or there? if it is only 10% less ahead of time I will buy the ticket there, less chance of losing it.

 

i don't know how to ask a new question, only how to reply. can someone help me?

 

thanks,

[TenerifeSharon]

This thread is really only for reports of cabin experiences on Solstice class ships.

 

To start a new topic, or ask a new question: Go to the original page of Celebrity Cruises threads (or go to the Ports of Call area about the hop-on, hop-off buses). Close to the top -- above all the topics, you will see a blue button "New Thread". Describe your topic briefly in the title (so that CCers notice it), and then in the Message area state your question. Hope this helps.:)

[J18ktleo]

SHIP: Eclipse

CABIN #: 1642

DECK #:11

CLASS: AQ

AREA: Between aft elevators and back

BED NEAR: closet

QUIET?: pretty much

BALCONY VIEW: straight out, unobstructed

BALCONY SIZE: normal

WIND A PROBLEM?: no

SOOT A PROBLEM?:no

PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: Was suprised but lack of storage in cabin, even using cabinets over the bed we found it very limited! Closet was very tight to get into with bed right beside it. Surprised there wasn't any storage inside the sofa? Although lighting at dressing table was good for doing makeup, missed back side mirrors for doing hair. Easy access to buffet but other end of the ship from Spa. No real noise from above.

[geordielass]

Great idea. We have one of those lifeboat obstructed balconies (#6189) on our 2/8/09 cruise so will post info on that when we return.

 

 

Hi

How was your view on the cruise . We have 6190 on April 1st 2011
