Hi to Everyone............

 

Has anyone ever booked a GTY X balcony cabin on the Solstice? If so, could you share some insight as to where the cabin might be located and would it have an obstructed view? I've never booked this category before but have sailed on the Solstice previously in balcony cabins.

 

We are sailing on the Solstice again next month and would so appreciate thoughts and/or comments on this if you have booked this type of cabin. Thank you so much.

By definition it can be anything from the worst class of balcony (2D Deluxe Ocean View Staterooms have obstructed veranda views) to the best. It all depends on the cruise and how many of the lower prices cabins they have sold and what they have to fill up. With guarantee bookings, If you will not be happy with a worst category you could end up with, do not book that way.

 

BTW this is not the place to be asking questions like that. It's possible your post and my reply will be deleted.

12th level.On the port side.

Bed by the full bath.

Rumbling noise above;Oceanview Cafe located there.Sounds like thunder or rolling carts.Tolerable,though from my husband's point of view.Everything else about this suite is perfect and we would take this suite again.No wind problems unless the front door of the suite were to open while the veranda door was open on a windy day.Still,not bad.Convenient location for not having long walks accessing other areas of interest on the ship.Lots of closet space.

So How was the Cabin? We are in the same cabin on the April 24th Sailing..

Great Idea! We will cruise in April in cabin#7179, if anyone has info on it would love to hear otherwise I will post when we get back.

[hobgob]

We have booked 1025 ,was there likely to be any obstructions for us?and was there any noise from the room opposite?it looks like there are cabins on the other side of the hall?

[unforgettable]

Deck - 9

Cabin # - 9292

Class – Deluxe Verandah - 1A

Starboard or Port Side - Starboard

Bed near?(balcony or bath) –Balcony

 

Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – Cabin is not as quiet as previously reported by other pax. It is close to the stairs and elevators so you hear alot of noise from those two areas, including music that travels upward from the Grand Foyer. The pax in the cabins on either side of us were also really loud, too - you could hear their tvs and conversations - and, of course, the slamming of cabin doors.

 

Balcony View - Great views; no obstructions straight to aft. No visibility forward.

 

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Deep (not wide) hump balcony is really enjoyable.

 

Was wind a problem? Nope

 

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

 

Any specific problems with this cabin? The cabin is lovely but it's long and narrow so it's a bit of a trick for two or more pax to move around the cabin at the same time. Think we'd prefer the space in a Sky Suite for future cruises.

 

Any other comments? The bathroom is really spacious and modern.

[BluenoseCaper]

Cabin # - 6162

Class – Verandah - 2C

Starboard or Port Side - Starboard

Bed near?(balcony or bath) –Bath

Quiet Cabin - Occasional noise from adjoining cabins - ringing phone, some voices but not a problem.

Balcony View - Obstructed - top of lifeboats level with floor of balcony. This cabin was between lifeboats so white posts raised higher than floor level. Horizontal view fine, vertical view obstructed.

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - normal.

Was wind a problem? Nope

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

Any specific problems with this cabin? No problems.

Any other comments? The bathroom is really spacious and modern and there was lots of storage space. Really liked the TV that could be rotated.

[BluenoseCaper]

Cabin # - 6158

Class – Verandah - 2C

Starboard or Port Side - Starboard

Bed near?(balcony or bath) –Bath

Quiet Cabin - Occasional noise from adjoining cabins, but not a problem.

Balcony View - Obstructed - top of lifeboats level with floor of balcony. Horizontal view fine, vertical view obstructed.

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - slightly larger because it is angled.

Was wind a problem? Nope

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

Any specific problems with this cabin? Not really a problem but with separated beds it was tight getting around the beds.

Any other comments? The bathroom is really spacious and modern and there was lots of storage space. Really liked the TV that could be rotated.

[Kirsten T]

Cabin # - 1124

Class – Concierge C2

Starboard or Port Side - Starboard

Bed near?(balcony or bath) –Balcony

Quiet Cabin - Very quiet.

Balcony View - Unobstructed, although you can't see the forward part of the ship - full view aft.

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? Oversized -huge!

Was wind a problem? Never

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

Any specific problems with this cabin? None

Any other comments? This is one of the "back side of the aft hump" cabins. Connects with 1126 but we didn't hear a peep out of that cabin. Close to aft stairway and elevators but far enough to be extremely quiet. Excellent cabin. Think we'd take one on the forward side of the hump next time, to see the front of the ship, but no complaints with 1124.

[hobgob]

Hi Kirsten

Could you comment on how 1025 would be?

Is there likely to be a large balcony as well ? or any obstructions?

[Denny_Crane]

SHIP: Solstice

CABIN #: 2121

DECK #: 12

CLASS: Sky Suite

AREA: Aft - Port

BED NEAR: Bathroom

QUIET?: Yes. Occasionally you could hear noise from above (Oceanview Cafe) but nothing distracting. Never heard noise from either side of us.

BALCONY VIEW: Unobstructed, we had breakfast on the balcony several mornings. The balcony was covered however, so not good if you are looking to get sun.

BALCONY SIZE: Average.

WIND A PROBLEM?: No

SOOT A PROBLEM?: No

PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: Room was great. Our Butler Rastif (told us to call him Rusty) and our cabin steward Arun could not have been nicer and more attentive. Although we didn't use the butler service all that much (basically just for breakfast delivered to the room and dry cleaning) he was always available. Room was a very nice size and very comfortable. By far the best part was the shower, the huge waterfall shower head was amazing. I would definitely stay in a Sky Suite again.

Deck - 11

Cabin # - 1643

Class – AQ

Starboard or Port Side - Port

Bed near?(balcony or bath) – Balcony

 

Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – Yes, very quiet. It's below the Sky Suites cabins on Deck 12

 

Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – The diagonal struts holding up the Deck 14 (there is no Deck 13) Oceanview Buffet start just below Deck 11 and reach up through Deck 12 to the bottom of Deck 14. They are positioned between every two cabins and really not an issue. If the next cabin is occupied by someone you want to share the balcony with, make sure you get side-by-side cabins that are x1,x3 and x5,x7, etc.. (on the odd/port side - all I know about) because the partitions are irregular where the diagonal struts angle up, but can still be opened. Between true side-by-side rooms without struts, there is a full partition that can be opened fully and can be easily passed through. We had 1641 and 1643 (not officially adjoining - none are in AQ), and we had the full partition door opened by the stateroom attendant.

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

Was wind a problem? No

 

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem?

 

Any specific problems with this cabin?

 

Any other comments?

Deck - 11

Cabin # - 1641

Class – AQ

Starboard or Port Side - Port

Bed near?(balcony or bath) – Balcony

 

Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – Yes, very quiet. It's below the Sky Suites cabins on Deck 12

 

Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – The diagonal struts holding up the Deck 14 (there is no Deck 13) Oceanview Buffet start just below Deck 11 and reach up through Deck 12 to the bottom of Deck 14. They are positioned between every two cabins and really not an issue as they take up the same space where the partition is located (the partition window becomes an upside down triangle filling in the space above the diagonal strut).

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

Was wind a problem? No

 

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem?

 

Any specific problems with this cabin?

 

Any other comments?

Ship: Eclispe

 

Deck - 8

Cabin # -8351

Class – SV

Starboard or Port Side - Aft

Bed near?(balcony or bath) – Balcony

 

Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – Very quiet cabin.

 

Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – Beautiful View of the wake! We loved it.

 

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Normal

 

Was wind a problem? no

 

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? Minor problems with very small spots of soot. We brought alone a special towel to wipe things down.

 

Some people do not like the fact that this balcony receives much more direct sunlight compared to others -- we liked that we could "sun" on our veranda.

The privacy issue from people above is not a big deal. A bit more motion in an Aft cabin, but once again, we loved it. Great sleep environment!

Deck - 10

Cabin # - 1130

Class – C3

Starboard or Port Side - Starboard

Bed near? (balcony or bath) – Bath

Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – Yes, very quiet. Absolutely no noise from connecting neighbors; perhaps they were seldom on their balcony.

Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – Nice view - high enough to see beyond lifeboats below to the pier, ocean, whatever of interest...

 

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Normal. Nice chairs and table for breakfast.

 

Was wind a problem? No, and no smoke from other balconies either...

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem?

Any specific problems with this cabin? Not one complaint.

Any other comments? Very nice layout; my bride appreciated the natural light with the mirror / desk (makeup & hair drying station) location over by the balcony for natural light, and I loved the closet being away from the outward opening bathroom door - it made dressing for dinner etc. very convenient.

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

Was wind a problem? No

Any specific problems with this cabin? None

Deck - 11

Cabin # - 1550

Class – AQ

Starboard or Port Side - PORT

Bed near?(balcony or bath) – BATH

 

Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – MOSTLY; I could very occasionally hear housekeeping going into the supply closet right outside, but they seem sensitive to the noise it makes. The next door cabin's door, however, does make a lot of noise as people go in and out of their cabin. Fortunately, there is NO noise from upstairs, or through the walls.

 

Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – On the balcony looking to the right, there is an overhang from the upper deck--it did get in the way of some pictures I wanted to take; but just sitting and looking toward the front of the ship there were no problems with the view.

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Normal

Was wind a problem? Not at all

 

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

 

Any specific problems with this cabin? No

 

Any other comments? There is very little drawer space...this surprised me, and the storage space above the bed was too high for me to reach without literally standing on the bed.
