Here are pics of Solstice's largest angled balcony (Cabin 9192)!

[kimcheeboy]

Just got off the Solstice last week where we had the 1A category cabin 9192. Hope this gives people a good feel for just how large the balcony really is.

Nice pics, we are on the hump in 1610 on Equinox this June. It is a big balcony too.

nice pics

I've seen different responses as to whether or not these balconies get any sun. What was your experience?

[Chasey]

I don't like that balcony. It's too dark and closed off. :cool:

Yes, 1610 is the same size.

 

It depends where the ship is / where the sun is, as to how bright or shaded it is. The attached pics give you some idea hopefully.

 

It suited us perfectly :)

Could anyone advise if 8256 on the next hump has a similar balcony. I am worried the stateroom would be too dark. I think a wide balcony would be great but not long and narrow.

 

I hope someone can help?

Its like looking through a toilet paper tube.

We stayed in 8279 (first cabin on the hump, large verandah) and never had an issue with the cabin being too dark. Open the curtain, if it's light outside, you get light inside.

 

As to direct sun, it was limited when it was there, and it was toward the rail just like you see in another posters pictures.

Sorry, but I love bright, open cabins -- I'd hate this one --- far too closed in and I would be gutted if I walked in to this ---

 

Then again, each to their own and I am sure it really suits others. :)

We will be in 9192 on Solstice for her October 2nd sailing. With possibly iffy weather, I think the depth of the balcony may allow us to be outside when the wind and spray would make other balconies unusable. I'm looking forward to it even more thanks to your pix. Thanks for posting.

Great location with very large balcony!

Many thanks for these photos, this balcony looks totally different from the other one.

 

Can I take it that 8256 on the Eclipse is in the same position as on the Solstice?

 

If so, we will stay in 8256 as it looks great, I was thinking we might have to change.

 

Much appreciate also the great information you get from fellow CC's!

I do not like the first set of pictures. Too long and closed off. Give me a regular balcony or one at the end of the hump which is wider. Happy sailing.

[travellink]

Stouennais....According to the deck plans on the Celebrity site, it looks like they are in the same position.

Does anyone know what 9237 on Silhouette looks like? Would it be long and narrow like the first balcony pics or more like the second one?

[koolforkatz]

Is it actually the camera lens that's distorting this and making it seem far longer and narrower than it actually is? We had 1610 on the hump and it was a fabulous balcony - I thought it was one of the biggest ones on the ship.

My guess is it's the camera lens. Note how the decking is curved. We had 3 in a row on the hump slant on our Baltic cruise and none of them looked like the first set of pictures. They looked like the last pictures posted. Great balconies! Have the same one booked for Thanksgiving.

Howdy neighbor! We were right above you in 1044 last week. Loved that balcony!

 

To the person asking about sun, very little direct sunlight makes it into your room due to the depth of the balcony and the overhang from deck 12. As result it stays nice and cool.

[stouennais]

Many thanks for all your comments! We are sticking with 8256 as the last set of photos of the balcony look great.

 

I think perhaps you are right with the camera distorting the first set of photos but definitely would not like that set up, but of course as previously said, each to our own and as other cruisers have pointed out, they like it.
