Cabin Review

The stateroom: Is a standard veranda and has easy access to mid-ship stairs and elevators. It was clean, the bed was comfortable and overall in good shape but looking outdated. There is plenty of storage in the closets, in the night stands (which have 2 drawers each and much better than Solstice class night stands) and under the bed. There is a small loveseat and table but in order to more easily move around we push the table against the loveseat making it unusable most of the time. There is a small desk that doubles as a dressing table which has two small storage areas. The standard pillows are foam so we asked the stateroom attendant for feather pillows and he quickly obtained them for us. Carpet was in good shape and there is a wall of mirrors across from the bed. The TV is small and – to our dismay they do not offer a variety of music choices through the TV entertainment system. We enjoy playing music while we get ready for the evening. If you do too then I recommend bringing a small Bluetooth speaker and listen to the music from your smartphone. The drape covering the veranda door is NOT blackout. The room will get light as soon as the sun comes up, which was 5:45 AM on some of our days. The air conditioning worked OK but we could not get the room cold enough for us to sleep comfortably. It would go down to about 70 F but on other ships it will regularly go down to 66-68 F at night. There were some guests down the hall from us that slept with their veranda door open (evidenced by the hot, humid air blowing out from under their doors) which may have contributed to the A/C issue. CAUTION there is a crew door across the hall from #7122 and it makes a loud noise when it shuts, if the crew doesn’t ease it closed. We were awakened before 7 by this slamming door on a few mornings.

The bathroom: Is standard size for Celebrity. It has two corner storage shelves above the counter and storage under the sink. The sink is relatively large and deep compared to the vessel sinks on Solstice class ships. The shower runs the width of the bathroom rather than be in the corner like on Solstice class. It has a curtain rather than shower door. I prefer the shower setup on Solstice class ships. Unfortunately, the bathroom had seen better days. The tile on the floor is discolored and some tiles were loose. There is a lot of bad caulking in the shower with black mold growth. The toilet has a permanent black ring. Also, there isn’t an outlet for electric shavers.

The veranda: Is small but adequate for 2 people. It has two chairs (which do not recline) and a short table. Deck 8 above extends further out so you are well protected from rain if it isn’t too windy.
