Starry Eyes Posted November 4, 2012 #276 Share Posted November 4, 2012 So glad you got the upgrade, just got home from our allure Oct 28 sailing the crown loft was amazing we had a great time, don't let ANYBODY tell you that it is to far away from the action it was so quite on deck 17 and the elevators weren't a long wait at all have a great time the loft are awsome , also we ate breakfast in the c l it was never crowded and the service was superb, if you have any questions feel free to ask Welcome back. So glad you had a great time in your loft. Honestly, I had never considered that the lofts might be too far from the action. Last time our BW aft on deft 12 was a long way from many things but close to others. On such a big ship, isn't something always a good distance away? I love big ships and will happily walk to the other end. were ther four of you in the crown loft? If so, did that work out well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is good that your power, cable and phone are back. who thought the storm would keep your area down for long? Not me. Easier to pack when one has power, no doubt.

Wouldn't that have been interesting! Hubby looked today and we finally got an assignment- a GS on deck 6. We are both quite satisfied with that assignment- especially since there are some JS's that are open now. Upgraded from a D1 to a JS Gty about 2 weeks ago, and finally got assigned this morning to a GS. And cannot wait to sail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldilocks875 - Didn't realize that you are on the Oasis with us (me and Starry Eyes) this Saturday... (Sorry, not back in the swing of things again yet - I am really not such a dunce.) Can't wait to meet you on Saturday... Congratulations again on your GS assignment and see you on the ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctcruiser1721 Posted November 7, 2012 #295 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Use caution with deck 14. There are public decks above, so some potential for noise, if that will bother MIL. there should be a view to the aqua theater, but there is some ship structure that can obstruct the view straight back. Did they tell you that cabin is marked obstructed on the deck plan? i'd favor the cabin I mentioned on deck 11...or the one straight across from it if MIL would like to have the bed by the closet instead by the balcony. the public decks on the aft of deck 11 and 12 are nice to have nearby...14 does not have that. you got a W for a triple...lucky you...I hear those are uncommon. I hope they sell that JS and upgrade you eventually. I just got my internet service back and looked at the decl plans on my computer as opposed to iPhone and found that the cabin I changed to has an obstructed view. That, in addition to the other concerns prompted me to switch yet again. The cabin you had suggested was gone according to the rep but I was able to switch to 8715. I don't think the bed is near the balcony if I read the diagram correctly but my MIL doesn't much care where the bed is. She is a napper so I actually think it may be better to have it a bit farther away from the light. Still no word on the JS GTY. Rep tells me there are no JS triples available but we are still a few days before final payment and things can always change. I don't expect to hear anytime soon but I will update when I do get the assignment. Thanks for all the good advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since she likes to nap, moving off deck 14 is a good decision; the public deck above has potential for noise transmission. Nothing wrong with the cabin you selected. Not that it matters to your MIL, but I think the bed is by the balcony (the triples have bed by closet, the ones next door have bed by balcony). I look forward to hearing if you get a good assignment on your triple JS gty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starry Eyes Posted November 7, 2012 #297 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Yes we hAD 4 IN THE LOFT AND IT WASN'T AN ISSUE WITH THE 2 BATHS THERE WAS PLENTY OF ROOM Thanks for answering. There are only two of us, but some CC posters opined there was not enough privacy for four guests in a CL. Given that four people cram into much smaller spaces, that was a head-scratcher for me.

MomtoCCC Posted November 10, 2012 #298 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Well, 1 week after I got the price drop on our X guarantee for our Freedom cruise, they assigned us to 6268. I promptly called this morning and got 8634 on the hump! Very nice! :) thanks for letting me know I could call and get this changed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomtoCCC Posted November 10, 2012 #300 Share Posted November 10, 2012 That is excellent! Enjoy that cabin. You won't believe this but after I made the call I thought I should have checked the price first. Sure enough, it dropped again. $80pp ($160 total) so back in the pool we went. I may lose the hump cabin but there are still plenty available on Deck 7 so I'm sure after they assign me Deck 6 again.. I will call and move it. Final payment is due this week so more cabins may open up. Now only paying $799 pp for balcony. Can't beat that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
