Libbywithnall Posted January 27, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I am ready to book (need to transfer current booking) Oasis of the Seas and need two cabins - one balcony, one inside - does anyone have any recommendations of what area to look for/request? This is our first time cruising this class so I am totally clueless. We have just earned Diamond status if that makes any difference.

drhall Posted January 27, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I have never sailed Oasis (only held a booking on it for 2 weeks before ultimately transferring it), but I was told that this ship is mostly balcony cabins--so always check to see if it's a better deal than an interior or oceanview. IMO, I had a promenade stateroom on Independence, which is an interior room which overlooks the Royal Promenade. My room was on the absolute top level and far away from the crowds, but I found that I kept my curtains closed often. The rooms directly across from us could easily see inside--and the constant crowds below took away the privacy feel. I would think, personally, that I might almost never step foot on a Central Park balcony (or similar), except for parades. If you want privacy, I would go with an oceanview cabin versus anything else. That's my two cents. Happy cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look near the elevator lobby areas, there are some balconies across from insides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsail Posted January 27, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Look at the deck plans and decide what your interest will be and get a cabin close to that. Pool/sports deck higher deck. Have younger children along, the deck with AO. Want to see aqua theatre shows from your balcony, Boardwalk balcony, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety63 Posted January 27, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 27, 2016 We have sailed on the Oasis/Allure multiple times and have found decks 7 and 8 midship to our liking! Close to just about everything😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readytolose Posted January 27, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 27, 2016 On Allure we did deck 8. We loved the close proximity to everything and when going from one end of the ship to the other we walked through beautiful Central Park instead of the boring hallways! When we sail on that class ship again we will book deck 8 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan Posted January 27, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 27, 2016 You're all making me glad I booked deck 8 on the hump. I like Central Park and don't do the sun worshipping thing any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdchachi Posted February 22, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) We were happy with promenade-view interior room (7601). It's aft of midship and very convenient to Central Park (one deck up) & the Promenade (two decks down). As well as entertainment areas which are mostly aft as well as the kids club area & Solarium. I don't know if they changed something or it's this room specifically but the promenade roof is angled such that you can't see the room across the way as some people have stated was an irritant for them with the PR rooms. So my recommendation is a PR room plus a balcony across the hall. In any case, midship is best in my opinion.

Margiev Posted February 23, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 23, 2016 We were on Oasis last May. We had cabin 6144 and enjoyed the location. The one draw back was that we above the life boats. Quite location and close to elevator and stairs. Interior cabins were across the hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacation...Yes Posted February 23, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 23, 2016 We traveled on Oasis last May an had a Boardwalk balcony, room 11715. We loved the Boardwalk balcony. We could see the action below and still see out back to the ocean. We are going on the Allure in October an booked 10719. Can't wait!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is our first time cruising this class so I am totally clueless. We have just earned Diamond status if that makes any difference. Libby I always stay on deck 12 as we spend a lot of time on the pool deck and we don't mind hitting the stairs quite a bit. The only bad place on deck 12 is up front near the front of the ship. Once a cruise there is a party in the solarium that runs till well in the morniing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted February 23, 2016 #12 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Another vote for deck 8. The forward cabins are balconies with inside cabins across from them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libby I am sailing on March 17th on deck 8 with Oceanview balcony and a large interior for my twins directly across. You can email me for my cabin #s if you like. I can let you know once we return how they were, but I know I will love them. I had the same set up last year but on deck 10 which was nice too. Deck 8 is closer proximity to things.

kalliekae Posted February 23, 2016 #14 Share Posted February 23, 2016 On both Oasis and Allure, we stayed on Deck 8. Great location and our favorite cabin was 8640 which was a JS on the hump. We would book that cabin again. However, there were no inside cabins across from 8640. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
