WhiteSoxFan Posted December 27, 2012 #26 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I would love to see the same chart for the bed placement on Deck 8 - OV balcony rooms, specifically 8196. I think I would prefer the bed by the closet as I really do like to sit on the sofa and watch the ocean go by. The same guidelines apply to these cabins. All cabins with sofa beds have the sofa by the balcony. I assume this is because when the bed is made up the space between the bed and vanity is very tight and it avoids having to use that space to get to the bed. Since 8196 has a sofa bed the bed is near the balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anandaindonesia Posted April 19, 2013 #33 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Is is true that from the balcony you can see INSIDE the cabin accross yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLACRUISER99 Posted April 19, 2013 #34 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Is is true that from the balcony you can see INSIDE the cabin accross yours? Yes, if the door is open during the day or the shades are not drawn at night and the lights are on.

Froggitt Posted April 19, 2013 #35 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Ive not been able to work out why 315 and 317 are B2 category (715 and 717 also), and all the cabins on either side (all the way up to 299/699) are B1. Save a few hundred for the two cabins, but not sure if this is going to come back and bite me on the bum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzegurl104 Posted April 19, 2013 #36 Share Posted April 19, 2013 What about cabin 11298? We have adjoining rooms on one side of us I believe. Either way, we'll make due. When we booked, I had no idea. Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridaythe13th Posted June 26, 2013 #37 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Looks like I got the bed by the closet and I am in an adjoining room both of which I am not happy about I heard you can hear everything through those doors. Not bad if my family was in that room but they are on the other side (not connected by adjoining door). :( Did you hear much sound through the connecting door? We never have on other ships so I am just curious. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsViola Posted December 4, 2013 #38 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Does anyone have pics from this Boardwalk balcony room? I keep finding contradicting info on whether or not this is a good location. Will we be able to see the Aqua theater or ocean? Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep finding contradicting info on whether or not this is a good location. Will we be able to see the Aqua theater or ocean? Thanks for your help. That is the Boardwalk balcony furthest from the aft, so your ability to see either the Aqua Theater or the ocean will be limited. The preferred location for those views are the last 5 cabins aft. You will have a nice view down the boardwalk, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am torn between moving further aft (only connecting rooms left) or moving to central park....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmp.dll Posted December 4, 2013 #41 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Can anyone describe to me what the layout of an Ocean View Balcony on Allure/Oasis is like? We have 7550 and 7552, D4 Connecting Staterooms, on our upcoming Allure cruise, and I'm just wondering if the layout rule holds true? One cabin should have the bed by the balcony, and the other by the closet? Does having connecting rooms change the layout of the room at all either?

My understading is that the connecting door on Oasis/Allure D category balconies is located in the short hall that goes out to the corridor. So the location of the bed has no effect on the location of the connecting door. Edited December 4, 2013 by clarea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Bob said above the connecting door is near the bathroom/entry way. And yes one room will have the bed by the closet and the other by the balcony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmp.dll Posted December 4, 2013 #44 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Thank you Bob and Molly! I think I would prefer the bed closer to the balcony. So should I assume that room 7552 is the one with that setup? If I phone RCCL, are they able to give me room-specific info like that? It certainly won't ruin my vacation if that's not the setup we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wait until Ocean Boy comes back on line and ask him. I trust his info more than Royal.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post #2 says 8552 has the bed by the balcony so perhaps 7552 does as well, although looking at the deck plans it does not look like the cabins for deck 7 and 8 line up. Maybe you can find the answer there. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1516781&highlight=placements Edited December 4, 2013 by molly361 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
