Yes they are great pictures. Be fun to see what the insides look like.
There is clearly a lot of work still going on in the cabins. If you look at picture 20 you can see doors off, etc. on the balconies and my favorite is #24. There are at least three tubs out on the balconies yet to be installed .... unless of course those are the Ozark Mountain Suites <grin>.

Yes they are. It makes the Promenade into an almost-enclosed passage between the superstructure on one side and above, and the boats on the other side. There are few 'viewing platforms' along the length from which you can see the away from the ship, but that's all.
We did a cruise on Solstice in 2009. We enjoyed it and we thought it was a great ship, but we felt that so much of the ship's design seemed to draw your eye inwards, away from the sea.
