Guym20 Posted June 6, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 6, 2018 This is our first time cruise and we have no idea on how important the deck is. Does it really matter if you take deck 3 for example, or deck 10? Will my view on deck 3 be too "flat"? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will my view on deck 3 be too "flat"? Thank you Good question but I think people are gonna need the ship. I always like to be higher, 11-12 but not the right under the pools. 1 below the first deck under the pools is where I typically like to be.

Will my view on deck 3 be too "flat"? Thank you We always prefer to be where the deck we are on and the decks above and below us are staterooms only with no public areas. Much quieter that way. You can easily see deck plans on several different websites. For example we chose deck 7 on Adventure of the Seas and booked deck 10 on Symphony.

cb at sea Posted June 6, 2018 #6 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Look at the deck plans....try to figure out where you might spend most of your daytime hours...and try to get within 2 decks of that....makes life faster and easier if you can use the stairs, rather than waiting on elevators! You tend to come and go to your cabin much more in the daytime than in the evening. Side of the ship really doesn't matter, so don't focus on that too much. The middle of the ship is the most "stable" if seas are rough. The ends of the ship can experience more motion if it's rough...think of a see-saw..the ends go up and down more than the middle!

4774Papa Posted June 6, 2018 #7 Share Posted June 6, 2018 If you pick a cabin on the deck immediately below the pool deck, you may experience noise from above. The staff may decide to rearrange the deck chairs at 5am. When you pick a cabin make sure you check the deck above you. If you tend to get sea sick, try picking a cabin in the middle of the ship and not on the higher decks. If you have mobility problems, try finding a cabin near an elevator.

Clarea Posted June 6, 2018 #8 Share Posted June 6, 2018 To be more specific I'm now considering Harmony of the seas and Allure of the seas We like decks 8 and 9 on Oasis class ships. Close to the convenience of Central Park but away from pool noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guym20 Posted June 6, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Thank you, that helps alot. Another aspect would be the view - do lower decks have bad views? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 6, 2018 #10 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Thank you, that helps alot.Another aspect would be the view - do lower decks have bad views? We've been on deck 8 and deck 12 on Oasis class ships and I cannot say there was a significant difference to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our TA put us mid ship deck 7 on Liberty it was perfect Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guym20 Posted June 6, 2018 Author #12 Share Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) 7 and 8 are high, how about the lower cheaper decks like 3-4? I think 3 is the lowest possible deck on Harmony, do you even have a view? Edited June 6, 2018 by Guym20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No balconies on deck 3 or 4, just oceanview staterooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted June 6, 2018 #15 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I know, I'm asking about an oceanview room indeed Also, I believe the staterooms on deck 4 are studio (solo) staterooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONECRUISER Posted June 6, 2018 #16 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I know, I'm asking about an oceanview room indeed Ocean View on many ships, always likes the lower cabins like a 2 or 3, you can see the ocean waves go by... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
