Cabin # - 1606

Class – Aqua

Starboard or Port Side - Starboard

Bed near?(balcony or bath) – Bath

 

Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – Very quiet; did not hear anything from adjoining cabins or hall way. Only issue with noise was the night of the deck party when you could hear the beat of the music and what sounded like banging on the ceiling that lasted until around midnight. Also some early morning sounds from moving chairs on the pool deck. You could hear music from the band on the pool deck during the day if you were sitting on the balcony. The balcony also has lots of white noise from the machinery located just above the balcony's ceiling.

 

Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. –

Great view out, down and forward. Support poles were not a problem.

 

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Oversize - very large.

 

Was wind a problem? I don't understand prior comments that there was no wind. It was windy on the balcony while at sea with a constant breeze coming under the dividers between the balconies. Not as much wind as on an open deck, but some days it was too windy to sit out comfortably and despite the large balcony there was no place to sit where there was no wind.

 

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem?

 

Any specific problems with this cabin? Overall a great cabin.

 

Any other comments? It is almost always possible to find shade on the balcony becuase of the overhang except during times of the day when the sun is rising/setting on the starboard side of the ship. At those times the balcony has complete sun.

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.

Hi LibraryLady,

First, as always, a huge THANK YOU for all you do to keep track of all this information.

Second, I just read a new Eclipse Member Review with some important cabin information re noise. This is not in the preferred format, but these changes in the S-class layout above AQ should be noted:

 

Aquaclass. Beware cabins 1502 to 1518

 

Having cruised Aquaclass on the Solstice in January we booked a similar cabin on the Eclipse.

What we didn't realise was that the Spa reception had been moved to the middle of the ship and the Gym treadmills were now directly over our cabin.

 

From 6am to 11pm when the gym was open we had loud pounding noises which totally spoilt the Aquaclass experience.

 

We complained to guest relations who at first weren't interested and offered a free specialty meal !! so we persisted and insisted the Guest Relations Manager visited the room and heard the noise first hand.

 

Apparently the free weights had already been moved after previous cruises and complaints.

 

No cabins were available to move to as the ship was full until Barcelona when we were offered a standard balcony under the Ocean View Cafe in the shade which would have had just as much noise.

 

The next night a staff member decided to use the gym at 12.30 am so I went upstairs through the side entrance opposite our room and explained in a firm way that I was trying to sleep and that she was ruining my nights sleep...she offered to move further along to which I replied "over some other poor customers cabin"...very thoughtful!!.

 

An email was then issued to the staff who have their own gym telling that not to use the customer gym at night.

 

We were eventually offered 30% discount but as Elite members and regular Celebrity cruisers this did spoil what otherwise would have been an excellent holiday as we met some great people.

 

Food and service was excellent however entertainment was average.

 

If you book Aquaclass avoid these cabins and book the odd numbers under the spa treatment rooms which should be quieter.

Eclipse

 

Cebin 6131

 

Class 2B

 

Port

 

Bed - near bath

 

Quiet Cabin - Not really, you do hear anything going on in the Theatre, rehearsing, shows etc. never anything past midnight or before 9.00 a.m. though on our trip

 

Balcony - could not see down to the water - large white metal overhang runs out from balcony for a couple of feet was a big disappointment to hubby who loves his sail-aways and could not see anything.

 

Balcony size - Normal

 

Windy - on occasions it was very windy but I think all cabins would have been affected not just this one.

 

Not aft

 

No specific problems other than mentioned above - great room stewards

 

Usual problems with these cabins, no storage space. We preferred the bed near bath arrangement seemed to be able to get to the tiny wardrobe a bit more easily. However, you cannot get to your clothes very easily because of sliding doors - I don't know who these 5 women were who designed these cabins but certainly storage was at the bottom of their list or priorities!!!!!!

[Dunmore2]

Deck - 12 Solstice

Cabin # - 2135 – Sky Suite

Starboard or Port Side - Port

Bed near?(balcony or bath) – bath

 

More than enough storage in drawers and in closet.

Quiet Cabin

Balcony View - Great, would choose port side again for this itinerary.

 

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? -Typical skysuite size. It is completely shaded.

 

Was wind a problem? NA

 

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? NA

 

Any specific problems with this cabin? None. It was a lovely suite with a great butler. Love that cappuchino!

Oh I must have been looking at an incomplete list when I was booking (and when i posted my room review), because 1504 was not there.

I would say there is a little bit more noise in 1504 than the OP noted in their comments , but its not annoying by any means. If you are in the room during the day you definitely hear the weight slamming to the floor. The weight station is not directly above the room , in fact the room is directly under the balcony of the gym so no foot traffic , but the noise of the weights carries through. I would think the odd numbers rooms hear it more.
