SHIP: Celebrity Solstice

CABIN #: 1206

DECK (#): Sky (10)

CLASS: C1

AREA: Aft

BED NEAR: Balcony

QUIET?: Yes with exception of room attendant supply closet activity on occassion (very minor and of no inconvenience to us personally).

BALCONY VIEW: Wonderful - view of wake and either side of ship (after passing by, of course). Wake is "spotlighted" in the evenings and is beautiful to watch (wake can be admired from Sunset/Oceanview bars and Tuscan Grille as well).

BALCONY SIZE: Largest of AFT cabins due to supply closet next door.

WIND A PROBLEM?: No

SOOT A PROBLEM?: Yes, a little bit

PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: Last year we had #1200 with no soot and this time in #1206, had a bit of soot almost every day. However, another poster who had #1206 two weeks earlier had no soot = leads me to believe it's simply a result of which way the wind is blowing as to whether or not you will have a problem with soot on an AFT balcony. Also, outside this cabin is where room attendants keep all supplies for am/pm cabin service - if it bothers you to have the carts/hampers outside your room for several hours a day, you might want to choose another location.

SHIP: Celebrity Solstice

CABIN #: 9376

DECK (#): Panorama (9)

CLASS: C1

AREA: Aft

BED NEAR: Balcony

QUIET?: Very. In a small alcove with the Sky Suite.

BALCONY VIEW: Awesome! Our first time in an aft cabin and loved it. 180 degree view and the wake is pretty amazing.

BALCONY SIZE: Smaller than most, but how much room do you need? We ate breakfast on the balcony each morning and had no problems doing so.

WIND A PROBLEM?: Only when standing at rail. The whole week was very windy both at sea and in port. If it's calm may not be an issue at all.

SOOT A PROBLEM?: A little bit on the deck so wear shoes when you go out. Cabin Stewards do a great job of keeping it clean. Oddly enough, never had a problem with soot on the table or chairs. Definitely would not deter us from booking aft again.

PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: You should not be concerned with privacy on the balcony unless you plan to put on a show. When you are at the rail you are visible and can see others above and below, but when you are sitting you are protected and private. This cabin had a support pole (beam) running up and down as you entered the cabin. It didn't really bother us, it was more of a problem for room service to get trays in and out, but you need to be aware.

Ship: Solstice

cabin # 6124

Deck: Continental

Class: 1B?

Area: Forward

Bed near: Balcony

Quiet: Not really, see comments

Balcony view: Unobstructed

Balcony size: Normal

Wind: some (Only because it was windy out)

Soot: No

Comments: at 4pm they would have rehearsals in the theater. Boom, Boom, and more boom. Not loud, just annoying. You could only hear the bass sound. Was not in the room in the evening so we did not hear the shows

[CallieS]

Solstice

 

Deck - 7

Cabin # - 7127

Starboard or Port Side - Port

Bed near?(balcony or bath) – Bath

 

Quiet Cabin – Very quiet

 

Balcony View - Slight obstruction. I think the roof of the balconies below us started at 7127 and went forward. We could see the overhang while sitting on the balcony. If you climbed over the balcony railing, you'd be stepping on a ledge. No big deal, didn't detract from the view, but it was there.

 

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Normal

 

Was wind a problem? - Only on windy days :p

 

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

 

Any specific problems with this cabin? None

 

Any other comments? Not sure how the cabins are with the bed by the balcony, but with the bed by the bathroom/closet, it was a pain to access the left side of the closet.

 

 

 

Deck - 7

Cabin # - 7136

Starboard or Port Side - Starboard

Bed near?(balcony or bath) – Bath

 

Quiet Cabin – Very quiet

 

Balcony View - No obstruction.

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? None

 

Any other comments? This cabin is identical to 7127 with the exception of the balcony obstruction. 7136 is a little further aft, and isn't affected by the overhang of Deck 6.

Don't know how this works..we just booked a B2B for 10/2011...booked thru Celebrity..We will be on board in Oct., 2010 ( didn't want to wait to book on board so we could get the same cabin for both, and get one we wanted. )

 

Question...the booking agent said when we are on board we can change the booking to take advantage of the on board booking bonuses but I am not quite sure how that would work,,

 

if someone knows and can explain, thanks

[BENBEA]

Just came upon this site, love the information on the rooms, found mine for December 5, now I'm a little disappointed that the bed isn't near the both, oh well, it won't spoil our trip!! Also our room has some sort of film on the glass on the balcony, what is that all about?? Really a nice job with all the information!! THANKS

Deck -11

Cabin # -1515

Class –Aqua

Starboard or Port Side -Port

Bed near? –Bath

 

Quiet Cabin –Quiet except for certain nights after 10 because of pool parties on upper decks-this happened 2 or 3 times-earplugs helped.

 

Balcony View - Every port we docked at(Western Cruise) was docked on our side, so we got a good look at docking manuevers & at the bridge where the officers guided the ship.

 

Balcony Size? Normal

 

Was wind a problem? Not really.

 

 

Any specific problems with this cabin? Almost impossible to open the cabin door if the balcony door is open also because of the vacuum effect.

 

Any other comments? Right below Aquaspa cafe-easy to run up & get drinks & snacks! Also right down the hall from relaxation room & persian gardens-both of which we used a lot.

[librarylady19]

Please include ship name in your posting. As newer S Class ships have some differences, it is important to know which ship you are reporting on.

Thanks!

SHIP: Celebrity Solstice

CABIN #: 9296

DECK (#): Panaroma (9)

CLASS: CC

AREA: Angled Rear Hump just down from the elevators, starboard side.

BED NEAR: Balcony

QUIET?: Pretty much, with exception of a few door slams from time to time and one night we heard some of the late entertainment in the foyer area, but when we cut the TV off.

BALCONY VIEW: Wonderful - looking straight out and aft.

BALCONY SIZE: 2nd Largest of hump angle cabins. 2 chairs that recline with foot stools and a table. Asked for and got 2 extra chairs.

WIND A PROBLEM?: No

SOOT A PROBLEM?: No

PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: Loved the roomy bathroom and shower. Didn't care for the hard couch, loved the firm bed and having it close to the balcony. We felt there was plenty of storage space for a 7 day cruise and didn't even use all of the drawers and closet space. On the Eastern Caribbean cruises we noticed the port side had the best views when docking in the ports. Great location near the elevators and stairs. Just a few short floors, up or down, to pretty much everything but the casino and theater.

[firstplacechef]

SHIP: Celebrity Solstice

CABIN #: 9328

DECK (#): Panaroma (9)

CLASS: Inside 12

AREA: Inside room about 6 rooms down from mid elevator bank.

BED NEAR: Center with plenty of room on either side.

QUIET?: Very much so!

BALCONY VIEW: None

BALCONY SIZE: N/A

WIND A PROBLEM?: N/A

SOOT A PROBLEM?: N/A

PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: Large inside room with two chairs and not a couch. Wide "foyer" area and plenty of room, not claustrophic at all.

[Dunmore2]

Equinox 9303

All comments as per previous posting are accurate, but we did have a lot of soot on the balcony (aft) on one of the sea days. We had been travelling quite slowly through the Dardenelle Straights, and once we picked up speed, all the soot was released. I am glad I was wearing a ship's robe.

[zorba07]

Glad to hear your cabin was great!

We are in cabin 1247 on the Equinox in Oct and would love more info on the layout and service you got.

Was it worth the extra?

SHIP: Celebrity Solstice

CABIN #: 9270

DECK (#): Panorama (9)

CLASS: A1

AREA: Hump/Angle

BED NEAR: Bathroom

QUIET?: Yes. Except for the door of the adjacent room. Very close to the elevators, yet very quiet.

BALCONY VIEW: Awesome. Forward/Side, good view of the bridge wing/forward and the sea on the side.

BALCONY SIZE: Larger due to the angle on the hump.

WIND A PROBLEM?: Depends on weather, a mellow howl sometimes could be heard with the door open.

SOOT A PROBLEM?: No

PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: Great bathroom. Our only small complaint about the cabin would be that it is not a true double bed but two single beds joined together. And the gap filler / sheet cover isn't strong enough to cover that up...

Used the balcony/cabin much less than expected as we were around the ship all the time. However liked the balcony location for great views during docking/port operations. Would definitely book again on Deck 9 and outside/hump.

[doktor]

Ship: Celebrity Solstice

Cabin#: 7305-Port

Deck(#) 7

Class B2

Area: Aft

Bed Near: Bath

Quiet: Very Quiet

Balcony View: Great Out-Can see forward to the bridge-No view back-No view down

Bed: near bath

Balcony Size: Large due to cabin location--I would say, it is about 2 ft deeper.

Wind Problem: No

Sort Problem: No

Problems/comments: Closet space limited, no shelves, miss bedside night stands with draws. Nice over bed storage, but at 5'4" tall, had to stand on bed often to reach things. Rooms are narrow and close to wall around bed. Table in front of sofa in definitely in the way. I wish the rooms were about a foot wider. Putting three or four in any of these cabins would be tight. I would definitely book room again, only ajoining room is forwad (7303). We loved the ship!

[tally10]

Deck - 7

Cabin # - 7221

Class –2A

Starboard or Port Side -Port

Bed near?(balcony or bath) –Bath

 

Quiet Cabin – Very Quiet especially when the sliding doors in the central area are closed as it prevents the music/noise from the Centrum

 

Balcony View - On the hump and can see forward and aft

Balcony Size? Normal. Loved the chairs that can convert to a full lounger.

Was wind a problem? No

 

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem?

 

Any specific problems with this cabin? No

 

Any other comments? There were three of us in this cabin and it was very, very tight. Cabin was smaller than what we are used to. Storage space lacking for three but would be ok for two. Upper bunk was comfortable for our adult daughter but we kept tripping over the ladder. Very nice and new and spotless. Near the elevators so it was a fantastic location.

[gopherhockey]

Celebrity Equinox

Deck - 10

Cabin # - 1206 (go figure)

Class – concierge class, although I have no idea what value that really gave us.

Starboard or Port Side - in the middle really

Bed near?(balcony or bath) – balcony

 

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

 

Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – Was one of the bigger balconies which was nice.

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - oversized

Was wind a problem? Sometimes wind was, mostly due to the noise it created with the huge flag overhead than actually feeling wind. It was quite calm on at sea days when the rest of the ship was a wind tunnel.

 

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? Absolutely it was... as was the toxic ship exhaust smell and the noise from the flag on the back of the ship (mentioned above). I will post photos of the soot if people want.. every morning black soot on the balcony, and it was not washed off every day. When they did wash balconies they forced us inside our cabin as they soaked our balcony from above. The smell was toxic depending on the winds, usually leaving port was the worst. If you experienced rain it would dampen the soot making it way more noticeable than if it was dry, in which case the dust blew around more. Wipe things down before you sit!

Not sure its worth it for the view and aft experience, probably would not book aft on a Solstice class ship again.

This was our experience, others may vary.

Any specific problems with this cabin? Other than soot, no problems at all.

 

Any other comments? Consider the pros and cons before booking aft on this class of ship. Aft can sometimes give you great port views, but if you can't stand being on your balcony what good is it? I think wind and weather plays a huge part in why some report no soot problems... but it was so bad and obvious I think most are crazy to suggest you won't notice it. My wife was more tolerant because she loves the view but even she couldn't deny the issues as much as she tried to overlook them.

 

Getting anywhere from aft was a chore... we're athletic and even we were annoyed at how far the walk was to get anywhere. They need a rear stairway on the Solstice class.

 

Oh, and wireless signal fades out when you reach the aft balcony... don't close the door or you will lose it entirely.

 

P.S. Despite my negative aft comments, we LOVED our cruise... I know it doesn't sound like it but we did. The overall experience made up for some of the annoyances - it just would have been better in another cabin I think.

Hope someone can give more info on this cabin I can't locate it on the posted charts.

 

Thanks for the help

[librarylady19]

Actually 1401 is included in the spreadsheet. Be sure you look at the most recent update on p. 40. You can also use the "search this forum" tool to see if there are other posts on this cabin.

 

PS - Please post future questions on the main Celebrity board.

Hi,:) if you go to page 40 and find Sandi's post....click on the spreadsheet, open it up and you will find cabin 1401 listed.

It is on page 9 of the spreadsheet.

 

Sorry Sandi....I know better but it sounds like they need help.:)

No need to apologize to me Lois. I know you were just trying to point them in the right direction. I'm sure this webiste (like many others) takes a bit of getting used to.

I have posted the link to the post on 1401 below ablum. Hope that helps!
