Single Cruiser Posted April 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hi all, Hopefully an easy question. I'm on Allure in a few weeks and as a solo traveller just went for cheapest double-fare inside. I've been offered a cheap-ish offer to upgrade to a Central Park view cabin. So ok will get some daylight and I guess people watching but any negatives? I know there are shops and restaurants below but I'm normally last to bed onboard and have had promenade view cabins directly above shops on Freedom class. It's about $30 a night extra so just wondered any opinions. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 27, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Only negative that comes to mind is lack of privacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer Posted April 27, 2015 #3 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hi, It can be a bit noisy from music on the sun decks. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridaglen Posted April 27, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 27, 2015 We had a Central Park view cabin on Allure and it was great. Just keep the net curtains closed and it is very private. There was no noise at all, but perhaps that depends on your cabin number. We wouldn't hesitate to stay in one again, so I'd say go for it if you don't mind paying the extra. We had one of the lower deck cabins that doesn't have a balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollon Posted April 27, 2015 #6 Share Posted April 27, 2015 We had a central park view as well, actually we loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor05 Posted April 27, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Lack of privacy and noise would apply more towards a Central Park balcony and not so much the CP view cabins. $30 a night for a window looking at the Central Park seems too high unless it's a much better location on the ship than what you have now IMO.

Sweet Tea Two Posted May 3, 2015 #8 Share Posted May 3, 2015 We both had a very nice time with Central Park, I preferred this, The only thing I noticed was the balcony across from me where the man always sat outside reading a book, looking into my cabin with his bincolars. When I close the curtain he would go inside, the moment I opened it up, he come out. I did report this to guest services, but they said that this is HIS vacation too, so he had a right to do do what he wanted. This was last year. I loved Central park there were birds singing and there was no noise there. IT was calming.. We were on the 10th floor. When it rained a bit the rain fell through but not a lot.. I really enjoyed this place.. I am wanting to go again but I want to be going on a lease expensive ship this time.. this one was the most I have ever spent on a 7 to 9 day cruise. You will enjoy this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riclop Posted May 4, 2015 #9 Share Posted May 4, 2015 You will have a bigger room with the CP view room 199 sq ft as compared to 172 sq ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
February123 Posted May 4, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 4, 2015 My DW and I stayed in a Central Park cabin on the Allure in 2013. We enjoyed the view into the park? As mentioned earlier for privacy, just keep the net curtains closed and you will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoppgirl Posted May 4, 2015 #11 Share Posted May 4, 2015 You will have a bigger room with the CP view room 199 sq ft as compared to 172 sq ft. Exactly why I booked this cabin category on our Oasis cruise. Cabin was spacious, loved the window seat too. Family members enjoyed lying on the window seat reading our books/iPads in the nice cool air conditioning! (Versus seating on a hot balcony). Privacy was not an issue, just remembered to keep the sheer curtains closed. We heard the piano music at night, otherwise nothing. i wouldn't hesitate to book this category cabin again.

If you don't plan on spending a lot of time in your cabin, I'd use that $210 for the $14 cocktails and keep the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
