I would book this exact cabin again with no reservations though as my husband spends time on the balcony, bigger is always better for us. Location was great. Felt very centrally located, just a few flights up or down to everything. Great if you want to use the stairs.

Ship - Eclipse

 

Deck - 11

Cabin # - 1609

Class – Royal Suite

Starboard or Port Side - Port

Bed near?(balcony or bath) – N/A

 

Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) –Unfortunately you get a lot of noise from the deck above including chairs being dragged around from 0600 each day. Guest Relations were unable to offer much respite though they did try

 

Balcony View - On hump so good views

 

Balcony Size? Large but narrow, not as good as on M class ships

 

Was wind a problem? Not at all

 

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

 

Any specific problems with this cabin? The first day we had a lot of probles with cigarette butts being thrown from above by stupid passengers. Problem recurred on sea days, ships staff were quick to try and track down culprits but it was worrying

 

Any other comments? Nice room though not sure why so much space at the back of the lounge for a sink and all the units which were actually empty except for 1

Cabin # - 1533

Class – Aqua

Starboard or Port Side - PORT

Bed near?(balcony or bath) – BALCONY

 

Quiet Cabin......Quiet

 

Balcony View - Good view of sea; No obstructions

 

Balcony Size? Plenty of room for two.

 

Was wind a problem? No.

 

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

 

Any specific problems with this cabin? None at all.

 

Any other comments. No noise from deck 12 at all.

[publicpersona]

Deck - Six

Cabin # - 6208

Class – 2D

Starboard or Port Side - Starboard

Bed near?(balcony or bath) – near balcony

 

Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – A little noise from deck below until about 11 PM, but it didn't bother me as I always bring earplugs.

 

Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – We had our very own lifeboat. :-) We could not look straight down from the balcony to the ocean, but on this ship I doubt many people can. There was a larger tender sized lifeboat at about knee level. Had no problem looking straight out to the horizon, however.

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - I think it was a little larger than normal because it was on the hump. 6210 may have been even larger.

Was wind a problem? No

 

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? n/a

 

Any specific problems with this cabin? Nope.

 

Any other comments? It was beautifully situated near the aft elevators. Wireless reception excellent, perhaps because it is near the iLounge. This stateroom was cheaper because of the partially obstructed view, but I would argue that it is no more obstructed than many other balcony rooms, and would book it again in a heartbeat.

Solstice

Deck - 11

Cabin # - 1569

Class – AQ

Starboard or Port Side - Port

Bed near?(balcony or bath) – balcony

 

Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – Could hear poolside chairs being moved about, especially while on balcony. Not too dreadful.

Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – Support pole to left of balcony, but almost no obstruction.

 

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Normal

 

Was wind a problem? No wind.

 

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? Midship, so no problem.

 

Any specific problems with this cabin? Loved being midship - made us walk to fore and midship elevators.

 

Any other comments? Would book same cabin in a heartbeat. No problem with closet access. Nice to wake up and open drapes without having to drag myself out of bed.

[mpace58]

Deck - 11

Cabin # - 1555

Class – Aqua

Starboard or Port Side - Port

Bed near?(balcony or bath) – Bath

 

Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – Mostly quite. The last 2 nights our neighbors decided to party on their balcony instead of in a bar.

 

Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – Slight obstruction from a support beam. It was on the right hand side and wasn't much of an issue. Being right under the top deck was good/bad thing. It was nice because you were always in the shade. The bad thing was you could not see the sky at night, so no stars. And also if you travel with a handheld GPS, you could not get a fix on the satellites.

 

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

 

Was wind a problem? Not all.

 

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

 

Any specific problems with this cabin? Not this specific cabin just in general, but the information display on the phone is much to bright. I had to cover it every evening. The room is somewhat smaller than same class cabin on Princess.

 

Any other comments?The shower is great for a cruise ship. Never saw the "pillow menu". Closet space is ridiculously small. Rarely if ever saw our room attendant. Everything was always taken care of, we just rarely saw him. Didn't receive our Cruise Critics gathering invitation. :-(

Cabin # - 1555

Class – Aqua Class

Starboard or Port Side - Port

Bed near?(balcony or bath) – Bed near the bath

 

Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – Quiet cabin, but did hear chairs moving and water spraying on the deck above (pool deck) when sitting on the balcony. Not a connecting cabin. Could hear noisy neighbors on balconies nearby with sliding glass door closed.

 

Balcony View -Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – Nice view, although the window wash equipment was stored in front of the balcony two balconies over, about cabin 1551. One large white post that holds up the extended deck above is on the right side of the balcony. The extended Resort Deck above blocks direct mid-day sun.

 

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Normal size balcony with two chairs, foot stools and a round table.

 

Was wind a problem? No wind problem

 

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

 

Any specific problems with this cabin and other comments - Boarded the Solstice at Noon and went straight to the buffet lunch. The cabin, bath and the deck were all clean and available at about 1:15pm. The overall space in this room seemed small for what is marketed as “Aqua Class”. OK drawer/cabinet storage space in the bath. Toilet paper roll metal cover is terrible (We removed the roll from the holder the entire trip). Larger shower space with a wonderful shower system. Good hot water system with anti-fog mirror area located directly above the bathroom sink. Soap and shampoo were OK and Lemon Grass scented. Disappointed in the limited amount of closet space. Closet not in a multi-user friendly location. Extra storage above the bed was nice but not easily accessible for shorter or older persons without stepping up on the bed. Storage under the bed was good to store luggage when not in use. Pillow selection was OK. The bed firmness was medium to firm. Bed linens were soft, clean and did not smell of ammonia or chlorine. Bedside stands are small. Room lighting was adequate. We kept the balcony curtains open during the day. The couch was hard as a rock and not comfortable. The daily herb tea smelled terrible (and I drink herb tea !!). The bottled water delivered daily was two 0.5 liter (16 fl. oz.) bottles from Italy – Paradiso brand. The cabin A/C worked well. The cabin flowers were small lilies and not worth having in the room. The fragrant spa oil was Lemon Grass and had little smell left. There are several under counter storage drawers beneath the wall mounted TV. Hair dryer was adequate for short hair. Aqua Class included unlimited access to the relaxing “Persian Garden”… there was little relaxing due to all the noisy door slamming and loud running shower water. Loved the heated tile recliners. Could not hear any noise from the pool or hot tub located on the Resort Deck above. Blu restaurant wait staff was great, but some of the food was very disappointing. The best I can say about Blu is healthy eating with portion control. Try eating at the Tuscan Grill, it’s worth the up-charge! Overall we had a good experience on the Celebrity Solstice cruising the eastern Caribbean (Sept 2010).

Thanks for all the info re cabins. I've just read the small print which says that my cabin, C2-1064 has a partially obstructed view and, as I've never cruised on this ship before, would love to know just what that means:confused:

[Doryjojo]

With many looking for information on specific cabins on Solstice I thought it might be good to have a form of sorts for everyone to post basic information on each cabin that is easily read and searchable.

Hopefully if future cruisers will cooperate we can eventually obtain information on most every cabin and possibly get it as a sticky. Below is the information that I have noticed many wanting to know about the cabins. Please add any pertinant information that I might have missed. I will add a post after this one with just the questions that you can "Reply To" and add your information without copying and editing this first post. I hope to eventually get the basic info in a table and will try to post that periodically within the thread.

Please name your post with the title "Cabin # xxxx" so that those searching for information on a specific cabin can locate those easier with the search this forum option by using the cabin number that they need info on.

After the questions please add any comments concerning location - close to elevators, far from specific venues, etc. Also, post links to your photos of specific cabins or attach photos to the post.

CABIN#2130 Solstice

 

Deck RESORT

Cabin # 2130

Class SKY SUITE

Oversized handicap suite was about 30% larger with 1 extra floor to ceiling window (we had a double wide, it was the same size as the balcony doors, very nice.

Starboard

Bed near balcony (loved that!)

 

Quiet Cabin

Balcony View - too bad the overhang from sun deck obscured our view of

the sky.

 

Balcony Oversized-balcony was about 30% longer, same width as a normal sky suite balcony. Very shady at all times.

 

Was wind a problem? no

 

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? no

 

Any specific problems with this cabin?

Missing 2 amenities. No pillow menu, and no celebrity tote bag. (customer relations desk said they did not get their delivery, so they'll ship it to my home)

 

*Any other comments? *

The sky suite is just a glorified, concierge cabin, same wine, flowers bath products and such.

More importantly, in my opinion, (which was shared by other,experienced suite cruisers, who we spoke to, sailing in a celebrity suite),

the butler service was almost useless.

Lots of issues, our simple requests, like a pitcher of water in suite, morning coffee and pressing services, not fulfilled adequately. Forget about unpacking, and packing assistance. It did not exist! We asked our butler on arrival, with bags sitting in front of us, what services we could expect... did not offer us any assistance, and he was nowhere to be found the last sea day to help with packing either. however, he did manage to pop out of a corner the last morning to receive a gratuity, it would seem his timing had magically improved...

Yes, I could have complained to guest services, but we preferred to chalk it up to experience, as this was our first butler experience.

Needless to say, we will not bother to get a sky suite again.

Room steward service was and is always excellent. It is all we need.

The ONLY advantage to a suite is room size. But I think a handicapped cabin in concierge would have been just as good. Aqua class actually includes more amenities, like bottled water and dining in Blu, but as suite guests we had to pay extra to eat there? Ridiculous!

(We often ate in Blu anyway, because the food and service was fabulous!)

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

 

Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – The balcony was about half obstructed by a lifeboat. We didn't mind it at all.

 

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Oversized - beginning of hump.

 

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? Cabin was extremely convenient to the elevators and only two floors from the dining room. We only used the elevators to go to the pool and buffet.

[Sam's Mom]

Deck - 11

Cabin # - 1676

Class – Concierge C1

Starboard or Port Side - Aft

Bed near?(balcony or bath) - Bath

 

Quiet Cabin - A little bit of noise outside the cabin in the morning from the room stewards' carts. Otherwise the only noise was at sail away if we were on our balcony we could hear the singing guitar player at the back of the Ocean View Cafe (2 decks up) or Sunset Bar (3 decks up); we enjoyed it!

 

Balcony View - Beautiful! Loved the aft view. Will do it again!

 

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Oversized; the cabin next door looked slightly bigger. We had a sail away party for 6 of us and we all fit on the balcony.

 

Was wind a problem? No

 

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? A little; we asked the room steward to clean it off and they also washed the balcony several times during our 14 day cruise. The pros outway the cons.

 

Any specific problems with this cabin? A little far from the elevators, but we didn't mind the walk. Also the room stewards put their carts near this room. Again, we didn't mind as we knew their closet was what gives us the bigger balcony.

 

Any other comments? Room steward Vilma on the Eclipse was great!
