How bad is deck 7 on Oasis?

[perditax]

New to RCL. Trying to plan a lower-priced solo cruise this fall. I've noticed I can get a "large interior" stateroom on deck 7 FWD for about $1300 all in, but any other deck selection increases the price by $500-700 for the same category. For example, just moving up to deck 8 brings it to a whopping $2100 for what I assume is the same "large interior stateroom".

 

 

I looked at deck plans but don't see anything obvious (such as a theater above or below) that would explain such a huge price discrepancy for the same room category. That said, I'm not used to the same category being a different price depending on where it is (hasn't been a thing on the other lines I've sailed).

 

Shorter version: anything I should be aware of for deck 7 forward inside rooms on Oasis? Thanks.

They cannot be the same category. Are the cabins you are viewing L? M? N? Q?

[Merion_Mom]

Give me a date and I'll investigate.

Deck 7 forward interior are predominantly cat N cabins while deck 8 forward interior is category M. No difference in cabin other than location. Deck 7 is fine, take the savings.

I stayed for the first time on deck 7 on Harmony and actually liked it. I normally stay in suite on 14 or 17, but found Deck 7 to be very convienent

Good location, close to Central Park and the Royal Promenade.

Deck 7 is our favorite on Oasis class. I agree, take the savings! :)

Thanks all. Pulling the trigger.

 

(I guess there is a difference in the category letters, I was just thrown off by the way the deck/upgrade offers are structured.)

Laura's staying on Deck 12 across from library. I wonder what else is close. [emoji6]

Library?

Library?

Poor attempt at humor. Library is next to DL.

 

She wanted to walk out her door and grab a Latte

OK, I was confused because you said deck 12. DL entrance is on deck 11. Now I see the humor.

Agree. I prefer 9-10 b/c I go to the DL at least 2-4 times per day and prefer to be slightly closer to the upper decks for the other complimentary food locations but would have no problem with 7.

 

Certainly worth the savings.

Geez, didn't realize I screwed up the deck. To many Cape Codders

Er, it's 9/17, but if you're asking just so you can come back and Internetsplain things to me, I already mentioning the different room letters per deck. :)

The previous 2 weeks are also pretty good deals - $549pp Z GTY rate (the 9/10 sailing is on next week's GGG flier at $599 :rolleyes:)

 

Biker, who is debating booking one of those.

Allure is also $550PP on 9/24.

 

Prefer Allure over Oasis

What I don't like about deck 7 oasis class is that you will have the "broadway" sign blocking the way from right to left on your deck. So if you are not paying attention and got the elevator on the left side but your stateroom is in your right. You will have to walk one deck up or down to get to your right side. I would never book on deck 7 again.

Shouldn't be an issue as the OP said that they were forward cabins.

I enjoy deck 11 also..close to the Latte machine in the DL.

 

But Laura is so tiny, she could float down from deck 12. ;)

We're on that week as well. [emoji6]

 

You'd be pretty hard pressed to miss us anytime in September or October.

Looks I will - booked the 9/3 sailing. Already planned to be on Merritt Island for a get together for Labor day weekend, so.....
