Raxter54 Posted March 8, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Just curious. We're looking to book an ocean view balcony on Allure. Is there much difference between decks 7/8/9 as far as noise, traffic, etc? I think all of our cruises we've been on deck 7, might try higher up this time...

Clarea Posted March 8, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I can't think of why there would be a difference in noise between decks 7/8/9. We prefer deck 8 or 9, to be close to Central Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matj2000 Posted March 8, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 8, 2018 What is the age you reach when the most important thing you care about is noise from above or the hallway? It seems to be a major factor for so many people... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taglovestocruise Posted March 8, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 8, 2018 We always book deck 12 on Oasis Class, there are a 140 fewer cabins on that deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klb1978 Posted March 8, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 8, 2018 We did deck 8 on Allure and loved the close proximity to Central Park. We often went to the Park Cafe to grab breakfast to take to our room. We are doing Oasis in September and on 8 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBTN Posted March 8, 2018 #9 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Deck 7 aft is a little funky because you can't get from starboard to port - we had to go up and down a floor if we weren't paying attention. A very minor gripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob so agree, 8 is the best if you use the specialty restaurants and have easy access to get from one end of the ship to the other by walking through Central Park We just returned from a B2B in Harmony, could not get deck 8 and also had to change cabins at the turn( not an issue they made it so easy). With that said the first week was deck 14, heard the deck chair parade every morning. Would not book 14 again! Second week we had deck 11 and was fantastic. Still LOVE deck 8 overall!

Thanks for feedback. I've never had deck 14 on Oasis class, but I suspected there was potential for noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jor689 Posted March 8, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 8, 2018 we were on oasis deck 14. could hear music from the pools during the day on the balcony, but crickets at night. only other sounds i heard were kids being transported from kids center to windjammer at 5pm and 7pm every night.

Rare silentbob007 Posted March 8, 2018 #17 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I prefer cabins more towards the front of the ship as those elevators seem much less used than the aft ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-S907VL using Forums mobile app We have been on 4 Oasis class cruises and booked deck 8 midships.We had cabin 8568 on Harmony and Allure three times and found it a perfect location. It was close to the lifts but no noise and Park Cafe and Central Park were within 30 paces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalliekae Posted March 9, 2018 #20 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Have had several cruises on Allure and always book Deck 8, cabin 8640. Best deck because of Central Park's music, restaurants, and bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very minor gripe. Good point. Assuming that Allure is same setup as Oasis. We were on deck 7 and loved the location...near Central Park, Boardwalk, Promenade, and not to far from MDR and theatre. But as above poster says...when you get off the elevator/stairs (I think the aft side), then if you are on the wrong side of the stairs, you are stuck and have to go all the way down the hall only to walk back to your stateroom. Hard to put it in words but think of it as being on the wrong end of the U. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mil76 Posted March 9, 2018 #24 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Way less cabins on Deck 6 :halo: Deck 13 is by far the most exclusive. If you are "lucky" enough to get a cabin on 13 you feel like you have the whole deck to yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted March 9, 2018 #25 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Way less cabins on Deck 6 :halo: John, I am worried about my cabin location on deck 6 Oasis. Heard some bad things, what is your take on it? Only GS cabin left was on that floor, and even worse...a connecting cabin. :o Hoping something will pop up just before final to be able to change it.
