Rare colesc15 Posted May 3, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Anyone got a few good pictures of an oceanview balcony cabin with the bed near the closet on the allure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicNac4498 Posted May 4, 2012 #2 Share Posted May 4, 2012 This is from Oasis, but should be very similar if not identical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93beachbum Posted May 4, 2012 #3 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I had this set up on oasis as well, liked having more space by balcony door. We had beds separated and there was still plenty of room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Song and a Dance Posted May 4, 2012 #4 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Also Oasis but here are a few other views...if I can figure out how to post pics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bsbcgirl Posted May 4, 2012 #5 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I personally hated this setup. Will book bed near balcony next time I go on Allure or Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amc40 Posted May 4, 2012 #9 Share Posted May 4, 2012 We had that set up recently on Allure. I think it made the cabin feel smaller. We had to squeeze by the bed to reach the desk and balcony. Also it was more difficult to get into the closet. If I had a good location I wouldn't change cabins but.... if I could choose either one I'd go with the bed by the balcony.

bajathree Posted May 4, 2012 #10 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I have had both...IMO cabin flows better when bed is by the balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare colesc15 Posted May 4, 2012 Author #11 Share Posted May 4, 2012 The room I have now is deck 11, 11558.. With the bed by the closest.. I was looking on their website, and I could get on deck 10, 10548, which would have the bed by the balcony.. The deck 11 one which I have is a little closer to the elevator, and up one more deck obviously.. Would I be doing a good thing in switching to that cabin, a little farther down the hall and 1 deck down? I'd have to call my travel agent and go through all of that to get it changed.. And the price on the royal website is a little bit more expensive than when I booked so I'm not sure if I'd have to pay the difference even though its in the same category.. Opinions?

amc40 Posted May 4, 2012 #12 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I would stay......which I did and we had a fantastic cruise. Not worth the extra money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare colesc15 Posted May 4, 2012 Author #14 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I'm debating if I should go to deck ten and a little farther away from the elevator because of the room setup.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't have to pay a difference in switching a cabin even if the price has increased as long as you are staying in the same category. With that being said I like your location and would stay put....while I personally like cabin better with the bed by the balcony i wouldn't hesitate to take a cabin with the opposite set-up if I liked the location.

linedancer Posted May 4, 2012 #17 Share Posted May 4, 2012 On Oasis we had the bed by the closet and on Allure we had the bed by the balcony. IMHO the bed by the balcony is much better. Both my husband and I loved the set up on the Allure much better. If he is napping and I am getting ready for dinner, I don't disturb him. I come out of the bathroom and the mirror, closet and dressing area is right there. I don't have to pass the bed to get to the desk. Or squeeze by the bed to get to the closet. We loved it and would pick that set up again. We had a Boardwalk Balcony cabin #11301 Irene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Host Faith Posted May 4, 2012 #19 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I have a D5 balcony stateroom with the bed by the closet for our Allure cruise in September. Right now I'm keeping the stateroom because it's at the front of the hump on deck 11, and the balcony is a little larger than the standard balconies. We spend a lot of time on the balcony so that was a big selling point for me. The closet situation isn't that big a deal to us. If the prices drop for the D1, hump balcony cabins, to a rate that is reasonable to us, then we'll move. Otherwise, we're keeping our current cabin.

Song and a Dance Posted May 4, 2012 #21 Share Posted May 4, 2012 We had that set up recently on Allure. I think it made the cabin feel smaller. We had to squeeze by the bed to reach the desk and balcony. Also it was more difficult to get into the closet. If I had a good location I wouldn't change cabins but.... if I could choose either one I'd go with the bed by the balcony. My feelings exactly. Altho a little less desirable, I agree if I had a great room location I wouldn't change rooms. I have this issue myself right now. I sailed a few weeks ago and we had connecting rooms - so one of each setup. Because I had both to compare at the time I think I really felt the difference more. I definitely preferred the room with the bed by the balcony. Now I have an upcoming cruise in July (which I had booked long before experiencing the beds) and the bed is by the closet. I briefly considered changing rooms but I have a farthest aft boardwalk room and quickly decided there was no way I was giving up my great location just because of the bed. For us, yes, it was tight and having the bed in the front made the room feel much smaller compared to the same size room we had next door. But that certainly didn't ruin our cruise in any way. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
