From what I can see it has a very good review. Solstice is a lovely ship and the itinerary around NZ is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraserK Posted October 3, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Found it thanks! The triangle states a "One upper berth" - being a novice in cruising what does that mean and can you see anything? And am I right in saying that the bed is close to the bathroom? Thanks Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And am I right in saying that the bed is close to the bathroom? Thanks Kat Yes it looks as though the bed is next to the bathroom rather than the balcony. I just checked out the Solstice deck plan from their website and it looks as though 9155 has a square and a triangle. The square means the sofa is able to be converted into a bed and the triangle means one upper berth. I think this means a bed is able to come down from the ceiling or it folds out of the wall. At least this is how it was for us on our Princess Cruise. Maybe if you google "upper berth on Celebrity Solstice" and you may get some images.

Kat You are on the port side of the ship and there are smoking areas on the promenade deck on the port side. There may be conditions when smoke from these areas can be noticed on your balcony if that would bother you. We always select the Starboard side.

Rare Essiesmom Posted October 3, 2018 #6 Share Posted October 3, 2018 This is what a quad balcony looks like (Silhouette 7272). Bunk in the ceiling not noticable unless you are looking for it. EM Solstice 9310: triple, no upper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicstress Posted October 3, 2018 #7 Share Posted October 3, 2018 We booked 9155 on Equinox for the super large balcony and the bunk bed type arrangements for our kids. Looking forward to the balcony though! Sent from my PH-1 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffinz Posted October 3, 2018 #8 Share Posted October 3, 2018 We had cabin 9122 on Solstice earlier this year and it was close to the elevators - we heard no noise whatsoever from the elevators in fact we booked the same cabin for our April 2020 cruise on Solstice :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mum2twins Posted October 4, 2018 #9 Share Posted October 4, 2018 We have booked this cabin for our New Zealand cruise in January because of the good reviews. It is a 4 berth as previously mentioned which is another reason for us choosing this cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vickykay Posted October 4, 2018 #10 Share Posted October 4, 2018 We have stayed on deck 9 port side many times on the S class shops. Never smelled smoke from smoking deck. We did the Australia-New Zealand cruise a year ago. Fantastic cruise. Would recommend spending several days in Sydney if possible. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted October 4, 2018 #11 Share Posted October 4, 2018 The closest smoking areas to this cabin would be pool deck (12) and deck 5. Very doubtful you’d smell any smoke there. We like the cabins on deck 12 & we’ve never smelled smoke & the smoking area is only a short distance away Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wine-O Posted October 4, 2018 #12 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Great stateroom and huge, huge balcony. Go for it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDXgranny Posted October 5, 2018 #13 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Have sailed Solstice 4 times over last 18 months. A total of 42 days. We had aft facing cabins and balconies on deck 8 starboard. Never smelled smoke. I never even saw anyone smoke! We absolutely Solstice and the NZ cruise was amazing! So very beautiful - every minute of it!
