It's too bad you didn't create this thread as a poll so we could easily see if there was a marked preference.

There is a poll link in the post 🙂 Hope you take it!

So we've decided on a starboard ocean balcony cabin on Royal Caribbean, Harmony of the Seas and are between two cabins - 8566 & 8568. 

My spouse noticed different layouts and it's apparently very important that we book a room with the living area closest to the balcony (GREEN) as opposed to the bed being near the balcony (PURPLE ) - see attached diagram with photos. 

Before you suggest it, my spouse is super extra and has already emailed RC, a travel agent and scoured crusedeckplans.com. Based on her research - she believes there is a pattern of alternating layouts and that Room 8566 should be GREEN and 8568 should be PURPLE. 

Can anyone confirm so I can book this cruise? 🤪

She's on to an entirely new issue now, folks....

I voted for 8566, only for the close proximity to the stairs/elevators, but would be perfectly fine with either room.

 

Thanks for weighing in!

8184 by a mile. Away from the noise of the stairs/elevators.

Just want to say #1, thanks for weighing in and #2... I'm going to need twenty seven eight-by-ten color glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each
one is of each stateroom so we can make an informed decision (love your signature 😉 )

WELCOME!

Help us settle a domestic dispute:  which stateroom should we book.

My wife and I are sailing on Harmony of the Seas and we have narrowed our preferences between two of these staterooms.  Yes, they are super similar, but that is not what this is about.  This IS about splitting hairs and making the best choice (and ultimately proving my spouse wrong 😉 )

One of us wants to be near the elevator and one of us thinks it will be too loud.

So, we need your help!

Comment below on which stateroom you think we should pick!  Both choices are on Deck 8 on Harmony of the Seas.  Both are Ocean View Balcony rooms, designated in the graphic by the GREEN bar.

Option A)  #8184

Option B)  #8566
