CarolRoy Posted June 29, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Looking at the Oasis at the ocean view balconies on Decks 6, 7, or 8. Not the boardwalk or central balconies. What deck would you suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are on same deck as Boardwalk, one flight of stairs down to Royal Promenade or two flights up to Central Park. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OCSC Mike Posted June 29, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Personal preference. I like to be closest to the areas I frequent most. I’d probably prefer 8 from those choices so I’m not as far from the higher decks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted June 29, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) Deck 8 is 1st choice Deck 6 is 2nd choice Avoid Deck 7 because it is chopped off and if you get on elevator on opposite side of your cabin you cannot walk to your side because of the big boardwalk sign on deck 6. This applies to mid ship/aft elevator. Forward ship you are fine Edited June 29, 2022 by Sunshine3601 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taglovestocruise Posted June 29, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Why limit yourself. We have always had deck 12 forward hump and love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RG306 Posted June 29, 2022 #6 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I like deck 8. Oasis class ships are huge and hallways to cabins are very long. I like being able to walk through Central Park part of the way. It's also nice to have park cafe and the trellis to easily access from the cabin. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wind up crossing over via Central Park a lot even if my cabin is elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doppelganger2621 Posted June 29, 2022 #8 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Big fan of deck 8 aft, go to the elevators aft and you’re at Central Park, go down two flights of steps you’re on the Boardwalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la_croisiere_s'amuse Posted June 29, 2022 #9 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Another vote for deck 8 due to Central Park, but as others have said, it's mostly a question of what appeals to you most. If you anticipate spending a lot of time on the Boardwalk or Promenade, deck 6 would probably make more sense. And I agree, no real perks to deck 7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Bound4Bermuda Posted June 29, 2022 #10 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Oh. Now I feel that I made a terrible mistake booking deck 7 on my upcoming cruise simply because there is nothing else nearby so I assumed it would be the most quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have stayed on deck 7 and it is fine. The issue is at the aft elevators. On other decks you can cross from port to starboard between the elevator banks. You can't on deck 7 because of the Boardwalk sign. We only used the wrong elevators once all week and just had to go down one deck, cross over and then go back up. It is not a big deal unless you have a mobility issue and are directionally challenged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just not my first choice. Not being able to cross at the aft is a little annoying. You can always ask to change cabins in the same category if available.

An easy walk up or down the stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, and the Park Cafe has (had?) specialist coffee so that was a lovely walk in the morning, through an empty Central Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsvd79 Posted June 29, 2022 #15 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Another vote to avoid deck 7 aft. I cannot tell you how many times, I had to make extra trips up and down the stairs to get to my room. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cvasto Posted June 30, 2022 #17 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I’m currently on deck 7 and the chopped off elevators haven’t bothered me all cruise. Benefit of 7 is when it’s’ Aqua 80, you can walk to end of cabins and sneak out to the climbing wall. Was able to grab chairs for show without a reservation and avoided the long stand by line… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We like to cross over on 8 and we like the central park in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two adults who can handle just 1 flight of stairs and otherwise it’s the elevator, go deck 6 so you are also close to the Promenade. Somewhere in between, pick what you think works best for you. If you have total mobility issues, there are pros and cons to deck 6 and 8. Id avoid deck 7 either way. Not a bad deck, but if you have a choice go 6 or 8. Family with kids, go for deck 6 near aft elevator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephPS79 Posted June 30, 2022 #20 Share Posted June 30, 2022 We had an Oceanview Balcony on deck 6, actually right alongside the boardwalk, and actually really, really loved it. I booked another one on Harmony for the same location. Noise was not a problem at all. You could hear stuff in the hallway, but not at all in the room. I really like the location, with easy access to the promenade and also the boardwalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster Posted June 30, 2022 #21 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Deck 8 for easy access to central park. We also like near the forward elevators as they tend to be less busy and free of those taking aft to the Windjammer all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
