Raxter54 Posted April 7, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Still looking to book on the Allure for 2020. Trying to decide what deck to book an ocean view balcony on, Deck 6 or Deck 8. Cabin 6286 is just around the corner from the Boardwalk, with easy access to the Aqua Theater. Cabin 8300 allows easy access to Central Park. Anyone have any experience with these decks, and have an opinion on which to book? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuvraj Posted April 7, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 7, 2018 We were on Deck 6 Forward. Gym was near and it was easy to get to the theatre. I really liked the location of our cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 7, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Either is fine, but I'd prefer deck 8 for Central Park access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISEFAN0001 Posted April 7, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Either is fine, but I'd prefer deck 8 for Central Park access. Ditto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaTech8912 Posted April 7, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Agree with Bob, either is fine, but I prefer close access to Central Park more than Boardwalk. Have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tOSUSteve Posted April 7, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Either is fine, but I'd prefer deck 8 for Central Park access. Agree, nice to walk over to Vintages or the bar to grab drink to enjoy on balcony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted April 7, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Either one is good. We switch between decks 6 and deck 8 but have been leaning more towards deck 6 lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raxter54 Posted April 7, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Thanks for the prompt replies :-) One reason I was looking at Deck 6 is easy access to Johnny Rockets for breakfast, and my wife could get her morning donut at Boardwalk Donuts. Do any of the restaurants on deck 8 do breakfast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelife Posted April 7, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Eight is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do any of the restaurants on deck 8 do breakfast? Park Cafe, but they won't have made to order eggs like JR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young_ens Posted April 7, 2018 #11 Share Posted April 7, 2018 We had a room on deck 6, a balcony room. We found it nice as it was quiet at night (for the kids) and still close to a lot of stuff: rock wall, carousel, central park and aqua theatre. Either is good.

Rare LMaxwell Posted April 7, 2018 #13 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Deck 8; easy access in morning to park cafe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare niksmom630 Posted April 7, 2018 #14 Share Posted April 7, 2018 We like deck 6. Easiest to do the stairs up or down, since pretty much everything is located between deck 4 and deck 8. Easy to get coffee in the morning at cafe promenade on deck 5. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time4u2go Posted April 7, 2018 #15 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Deck 6 for sure. It's within 2 decks of the theater, casino, ice rink, MDR, spa, promenade, boardwalk, aqua theater, schooner bar, photo shop, rock climbing wall, running track, jazz club, comedy club, blaze, central park, and dazzles. I don't think any other deck has that many common areas that close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALSEAU Posted April 9, 2018 #16 Share Posted April 9, 2018 We prefer Deck 8 close to the aft elevators. Our main reason is that most of our free eating venues are located aft Besides eating in Central Park Cafe we use Central Park to walk back and forth to events forward and aft.

Hypo Posted April 9, 2018 #17 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Another vote for Deck 8. We like the easy access to Central Park and Park Cafe,in the morning, for coffee and danish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalliekae Posted April 9, 2018 #18 Share Posted April 9, 2018 We've stayed on decks 6 & 8 and much prefer 8 due to Central Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konkordkruisers Posted April 28, 2018 #20 Share Posted April 28, 2018 We booked ocean balcony deck 6 - I was told this was good for less movement. Low and to the center of the ship. I also liked the close proximity to different attractions. One question....how close to a bar for morning bloody mary's or final final in the evenings?

Rare OCSC Mike Posted April 28, 2018 #21 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Whichever is closer to the venues you frequent most. I personally prefer higher up as I spend a lot of time on higher deck venues like the DL, WJ, Solarium, etc. I also barely go near the boardwalk. IMO, this is the type of question only you can answer for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carolitis Posted April 29, 2018 #23 Share Posted April 29, 2018 We were torn between the 2 also and agree either would do. But DIL and GC decided 6 access to morning donuts made the decision. Agree has easy access to most locations. Just a long elevator ride to pool decks and stuff above. I do prefer lower for movement issues. Would never want a deck 12 cabin. Hope location on 6 means that room service will arrive hotter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any experience with these decks, and have an opinion on which to book? Thanks! While access criteria from Deck 8 or 6 are somewhat similar...the balcony experience on Deck 8 is nicer on several fronts. While speaking from firsthand bookings on Oasis, Allure, and Harmony...the biggest plus is the views from a higher deck (including further distance from the lifeboats below). If you like the Park Cafe for a quick sandwich or snack...that breaks the tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NolaFireLI Posted April 29, 2018 #25 Share Posted April 29, 2018 In the end, it really all comes down to you, but I will say this: Stayed on Deck 6 Allure - 1st time on Oasis call ship Then Deck 8 for Oasis - 2nd time... Last Year on Harmony - Deck 10 - All of these cabins were Ocean Balcony rooms... This summer we are spinning the tables COMPLETELY and doing a Central Park Balcony room on Deck 11... I'm on the fence about this, since I really do love my ocean balcony for sunrise/sunsets... My favorite cabin was Deck 8 - right outside CP and just lovely to stroll thru, get morning coffee/danish and start the day in the such a beautiful atmosphere. I also found Deck 8 to be very convenient for getting almost anywhere. I felt NO movement in any of my cabins I will say, that I found whatever room I had, I was happy, I was ON VACATION!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
