wbrumel Posted February 10, 2013 #1827 Share Posted February 10, 2013 SHIP: Reflection CABIN #: 1553 DECK #: 11 CLASS: A-1 (Aqua) AREA: forward/port BED NEAR: balcony QUIET?: yes BALCONY VIEW: good (see below) BALCONY SIZE: typical WIND A PROBLEM?: no SOOT A PROBLEM?: no PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: Very quiet cabin with cabins on both sides and above/below you so noise not an issue unless you have partiers nearby. No hallway, plumbing or elevator noise heard. There is a support beam on the left side of the balcony (looking out) which partially obstructs your view, but not significantly. It does, however, prevent you from fully opening the partition to access the balcony of adjoining 1555 if you wanted to (altho 1551 is fully accessible). Close to forward elevators. Generally, a very good cabin that I would book again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazelwoodp Posted February 15, 2013 #1829 Share Posted February 15, 2013 SHIP: Silhouette CABIN #: 1633 DECK #: 11 CLASS: Aqua Class AREA: Portside BED NEAR: bathroom QUIET?: Yes...very. BALCONY VIEW: Unobstructed BALCONY SIZE: normal WIND A PROBLEM?: No SOOT A PROBLEM?: No PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: This cabin was great. Really, no noise. Loved the size of the bathroom. We traveled with family in 1631 so asked that the balcony be opened between the cabins. It had a support beam between so didn't open up completely. Close to elevators, close to pool and Oceanview Cafe, although we ate the majority of our meals in Blu. Fabulous cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closet doors rattled in rolling waves; we propped a sneaker from the inside of the closet against the door and that took care of the problem.

Gramps25 Posted February 22, 2013 #1835 Share Posted February 22, 2013 SHIP: Silhouette CABIN #: 7108 DECK #: 7 CLASS: Family Veranda AREA: Very front of ship with two forward facing windows BED NEAR: Separate room with forward facing window QUIET?: Very noisy when docking and you can hear and feel the banging of the bow on certain waves when traveling above about 16 knots BALCONY VIEW: Starboard BALCONY SIZE: Smallish with some obstruction WIND A PROBLEM?: You can hear it at times but that is the same on any ship. Depends on the wind's direction. SOOT A PROBLEM?: Nope PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: This cabin cannot be beat if you have a family. Especially if your 2 year old won't sleep if he can still see you. Little brat. :-) This provides the kids with a private place to sleep (or the parents a private place to nap) while allowing the rest of the family to relax, watch TV, read, go on the balcony etc., without disturbing each other. The 575 sq. ft. is great!! On the Silhouette, they had a nice 4-seat table so if you ordered room service for breakfast or dinner, you could all comfortably sit and eat. If there are more than two of you and you can afford this, the benefits far outweigh the negatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zouave Posted February 24, 2013 #1838 Share Posted February 24, 2013 May apply to all ships of this class - stayed in cabin 2151 (premium suite in the stern just below the Oceanview bar/cafe) on deck 12. Every morning at 0630 the noise of dragging chairs started. Noise penetrated the cabin loudly. Went on all day until about 2100. Really annoying - could never sleep in. Just a constant, "scaping" on the ceiling. Spoke to Hotel Manager outside main theater on second night. She told us, "We just replaced the chair footings" but offered no other solution to the noise. Problem is the chair footings are made of a rubberized materiel - should be teflon type sliders (a hint to Celebrity to fix the problem). What really buggs me is I repeatedly called the Hotel Manager, left messages, even sent the butler to convey message to speak with her - nothing from Hotel Manager - nothing. Celebrity needs to warn passengers about the noise problem in this cabin and not charge highest price for the suite like they do presently for all corner stern suites. Most importantly - fix the chairs footings! Caveat Emptor Zouave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frizfamly Posted February 25, 2013 #1839 Share Posted February 25, 2013 SHIP: Solstice CABIN #: 1674 DECK #: 11 CLASS: Aqua AREA: Aft BED NEAR: Balcony QUIET?: Yes BALCONY VIEW: Great aft view BALCONY SIZE: Good WIND A PROBLEM?:No SOOT A PROBLEM?:No PROBLEMS/COMMENTS:We chose this cabin for the location with the aft view, quiet cabin, walk to elevators not a problem for us. The small overhang from the deck above was good, perhaps at times needed more shade, but this was in the middle of summer in NZ and Aus. Privacy not an issue for us as you really needed to be against railing to be seen from above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elusive_Cruiser Posted March 1, 2013 #1840 Share Posted March 1, 2013 SHIP: Equinox CABIN #: 2102 DECK #: 12 CLASS: C2 - Concierge AREA: Aft BED NEAR: Balcony QUIET?: Yes and No BALCONY VIEW: Great view - on the hump so can see from bow to aft BALCONY SIZE: Normal WIND A PROBLEM?:No SOOT A PROBLEM?:No PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: Excellent location on the Resort Deck, right outside the elevators. Some noise issues at very early hours when staff were washing loungers and deck on Deck 14. Also a weird inconsistent noise that was finally ascertained to be the sliding doors on deck above. A maintenance issue that I'm sure would have been fixed had we talked to G.S. early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatonDoolittle Posted March 1, 2013 #1841 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Deck - 10 Cabin # - 1243 Class – C2 Starboard or Port Side - Port Bed near?(balcony or bath) – Bath Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – Not Connecting. No noise from elevator or atrium. HOWEVER, and this is a big one, very frequent slamming of a door was jolting, to say the least. Cabin is in the alcove with the stewards's closet (and cabin 1245) that has a heavy, self closing door (like the cabins) , and they were in and out all day, most noticeable between 3 PM and 8 PM, and early mornings. If you enjoy sleeping in, or an afternoon nap, this cabin is not for you. Full disclosure, I did not mention it to them, perhaps if I did, they might have been more careful and held on to the door each time it closed. Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – First cabin facing aft after the hump, so in order to see forward, you need to crane your neck. I did not do it often as I would also be looking onto the balcony of one of the suites (which has a Jacuzzi on the balcony, BTW). Unobstructed straight out and aft. Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - HUGE. Loved it. 2 chairs with foot rests, and a table. Lots of shade. Was wind a problem? Wind rattled the plastic balcony divider between this cabin and the suite - actually kind of a roar, but only when we were moving at top speed, and heading south across the Atlantic to the Caribbean - 2 days. Then it stopped as we slowed for the rest of the trip. Any specific problems with this cabin? Other than the door banging, it was wonderful. Central location, steps from the elevator and library Any other comments? Book it, for sure, unless you enjoy an afternoon nap, or feel like scolding the steward.

CaroleSS Posted March 4, 2013 #1843 Share Posted March 4, 2013 SHIP: Reflection CABIN #: 6237 DECK #: 6 CLASS: 1A AREA: Mid-ship, port BED NEAR: Bathroom QUIET?: Yes, but there was a LOT of ship creaking noise! BALCONY VIEW: Nice view out, but the life boats are one floor down BALCONY SIZE: slightly larger due to diagonal WIND A PROBLEM?: No, diagonal protects you from the wind SOOT A PROBLEM?: No PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: Nice location. Near the elevators without the elevator noise. Wind was an issue on the hump balconies, but not on ours due to the extra space and diagonal shape. We thought the location was great as one floor down is coffee and gelato, it is close to bars, relaxation areas, the dining room. Although the smoking section was immediately below us, we never had problems as the smoking area is contained in glass and little smoke escaped.

Maggie4nc Posted March 4, 2013 #1845 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) SHIP: Equinox CABIN #: 2119 DECK #: Resort (Deck 12 (really 13, but they don't label it that way) CLASS: S2 AREA: Port BED NEAR:Bath QUIET?: Yes. Once or twice heard chair from upstairs cafe. Never disturbed our sleep and I am a VERY light sleeper. BALCONY VIEW: Good. Covered. Thought it would bug us at the start, then never noticed it again BALCONY SIZE: ? Our 1st and only cruise, so hard to judge. Think it is a bit bigger than the norm. Was plenty of room for us. WIND A PROBLEM?: No SOOT A PROBLEM?: No soot. Our first night we noticed a bit of exhaust smell, but think that was due to high winds (and seas) that night. Never noticed it again during the next 12 days. PROBLEMS/COMMENTS:Location very good and quiet!! Oceanview Cafe right upstairs making it easy to grab coffee or snacks. On same deck as pool and gym. Tons of storage. Would rebook and recommend. Edited March 4, 2013 by Maggie4nc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
