Allure boardwalk/Central Park balcony

[Norwich Cruiser]

We’ve been lucky enough to cruise in both boardwalk and Central Park staterooms.

There was a very small issue with occasional noise during shows whilst in boardwalk but in all honesty it never bothered us.

Our preference is for Central Park staterooms but would have no problem with sailing again in boardwalk staterooms if the price was right.

Do you mind sharing what cabin you had? We were just assigned balcony on deck 11 3 cabins from the aft. The reviews from deck 11 seem to indicate very little noice and a decent view of the ocean. I’m wondering if you were lower and closer to the carousal? Do you think being higher and aft will help to negate the issues?

11713.  You absolutely can not see the ocean from that room unless you either sit in corner of balcony or lean over balcony rail.  It was maybe 7 or 8 rooms from the back

We were in 10307, so about mid way, and could see the ocean.  Obviously it wasn't right off of our balcony but it was in the background looking towards the Aqua Theatre (and yes, Abyss was there too).

Central Park balconies have spoiled me for any other cabins.  The one time I had an ocean balcony (in order to have connecting with DD & DSIL), it got beastly hot from sun in afternoon and early evening.  Have now sailed in CP about ten times, and have loved them all.  The balcony can be hot from sun, but for only a couple of hours in the afternoon (when I am often napping in the air conditioned cabin).  We love to people watch from deck ten, and have never had a problem with privacy.  I almost hate to sing the praises, for fear they will become so booked that I won’t be able to get one of my favorite cabins.

Hi-Considering the Allure again for October cruise. This time we might want to try a Central Park or Boardwalk balcony. Anyone who has feedback pro or con would be greatly appreciated.

 

I just read an artlcle titled "balconies to never get" and both of those were in it, stating lack of privacy. They said that you have to keep your curtains closed because people can see right in otherwise.

Thanks so much for your input everyone. I booked a BW rather than a CP. I heard that CP tends to be hot if the roof is closed. We booked on deck 14 cabin 14725. Is that decent or should I move so I can see the show? Hope to see some of you onboard.

CP can get hot, but there is no roof.

Solarium has a roof.

All I can say is that we have a cruise coming up on Allure and we are on Deck 7 (no balcony) and just above us is Park Cafe and I'm worried that between Boardwalk and what may be going on above us in prepping for the day (even with a white noise machine) that we are going to be in for a terrible sleep.  We will have a 5 year old with us, but my parents booked this cruise as a huge family trip and I guess these were the best prices.  Should I be worried?

I don’t think you’ll have any problems whatsoever.

what's the saying... a bad day on vacation is still better than a good day at work?  Enjoy yourselves and be optimistic that you'll have a wonderful time, and you will!!
