Cruising_bar Posted May 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I think I decided on the cruise and ship. Pretty much ready to book...so excited. The only decision is between two cabins on Harmony. First is 12580, but I read a review about another 12th deck cabin and they could hear chairs being dragged on deck even though it is two floors up. The second cabin 7206 which look like it has a bit bigger balcony which is nice. What concerns me is that on the deck plan for the 7th deck shows a big blank section in front of the room. Not sure what is there. This will be our 1st cruise in 30 years so want to get it right. Which one would you choose. Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted May 20, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I'd prefer 7206. I would not be concerned about the blank space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted May 20, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 20, 2018 It depends on whether you want to be closer to the pool deck or the promenade. Personally I would take deck 7 as it’s easier to walk to more places without relying on the elevator. Don’t be concerned with the area across from the cabin. There is a hallway separating you from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea shepherd Posted May 20, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I had 7250 on Harmony and really liked the location. Would stay in that spot again. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help It's actually only one floor up, because there is NO deck 13. That's why you can hear the chairs being dragged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taglovestocruise Posted May 20, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 20, 2018 We have had deck 12 on Oasis, Allure and upcoming Symphony. No noise at all as you still have cabins above you. You will be using the forward elevators for both cabins. Deck 12 has about 100 fewer cabins using the elevators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising_bar Posted May 20, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Thanks for the insights and recommendations. I think I am leaning towards the one on the 7th. I just have flashbacks to the last and only cruise I took 20 years ago where I had an interior cabin and there was an interior crew hallway with a fire door on the other side. There was no way for us to know because deck plans were not on the internet in those days. The door slamming would constantly wake us up, I was a zombie when the cruise ended. That is why I was so concerned about that blank space I saw on the deck plan. Finally convinced the wife to go on another cruise so just want to make sure it’s a good one so I can keep on cruising in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieJo Posted May 20, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 20, 2018 We had a cabin on Deck 12 on Harmony. No issues at all. Very quiet. We have Deck 12 booked for Symphony next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SET TO SAIL Posted May 20, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Deck 7 is nice because it’s an easy trip to Central Park for something to eat or drink if you like to take them back to your balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashirak Posted May 20, 2018 #10 Share Posted May 20, 2018 We were on Harmony deck 7 a few weeks ago. We loved it. We could walk to the promenade, Central Park, boardwalk, all that stuff. We would stay on it again. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypo Posted May 20, 2018 #11 Share Posted May 20, 2018 One slight drawback to deck 7 locations on Oasis Class ships. At the main (rear) elevator banks, there is no crossover from the starboard to the port side. On the other decks, you can simply cross over and use the other elevators on either port or starboard side of the ship. On deck 7, the crossover path is not there as they had to leave it out to allow for the windows and signage for the entrance to the Boardwalk that is one deck down on deck 6.

Chairs being dragged from where to where? Inside the cabins on deck 14? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising_bar Posted May 20, 2018 Author #15 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Chairs being dragged from where to where? Inside the cabins on deck 14? :confused: From Deck 15. UniPac's review of cabin 12590: Ship Harmony of the Seas Deck 12 Stateroom # 12590 Stateroom Category D5 Starboard or Port Side Starboard Quiet Stateroom? (With comments on problems) – yes quiet except for the mornings when you could hear the sunchairs being moved (started at 6-7am) but not too loud.
