Voyager ship: Deck 2 Window or Deck 8 inside?

[Florida_cruisers]

What do you think is better on Voyager of the Seas, oceanview window cabin on deck 2 ($150 less for the cabin price) or interior cabin on deck 8?

Personal preference.

 

I personally couldn't care less about having a window but I wouldn't want to be down on deck 2. I'd rather be somewhere in between the pool deck and promenade as I avoid the elevator whenever possible and prefer to be closer to higher decks for places I frequent so it would be deck 8 for me.

Inside on deck 8... I'd hate being down on deck 2.

 

The cabin configuration and size will be the same minus the window.

Lol I'd pick the window for $150 less. Its probably a bit bigger cabin and I like to see the weather when I wake up. For sure even if the same price I'd pick the window. The deck for me doesnt matter much, more walking is all.

I looked it on on voyager specifically and both inside and ov are 160 sf. Both have some larger configurations but the basic on both is 160 sf. 

 

I'd still rather a window than not.

Personally, I don’t care what deck I’m on. I would rather have a window on deck 2 than an inside on any other deck.

I third the vote.

I waited too long and now the window cabin on the lower deck is gone.

Be careful deck 2 can be very noisy with the waves hitting the hull! Didn't like it at all!

What about an inside promenade cabin? Prices for these cabins are sometimes reasonable. Deck 6, 7, and 8 with large bay windows overlooking the promenade.

I wouldn't like that at all. I prefer an ocean view when cruising as opposed to a view of a shopping mall.

I'm quite sure you have no idea what you are talking about or how  annoying it is!

Not a wave sound at all - but a hammer hitting metal with screeching in between, we thought it was an untied rope or metal chain hitting the hull - but were told it is the waves hitting the hull when the ship dives into them...all night long🙄🥴

Never deck 2 again for us!

Ummmm, after 24 years in the U.S. Navy, most of those years at sea; followed by 25+ years of civilian cruising, I think I know what I'm talking about.

If you heard that I'd say your cabin was also far forward. If your cabin was mid to aft you dont hear that sound.  That's a sound of being far forward. Not just deck 2.

We were on deck 8 with promenade view.  Much prefer that to a window on any deck, but we have only done it twice on RCI.  We have no problem with a inside cabin on deck 2 if the prom view isn't available.

Those cabins are good for people watching. I have never stayed in one but I have heard from others that they can be quite noisy from activities on the Promenade.

Had an inside twice…claustrophobic for me!!  (once on an upper deck when my son took me along and once on deck 2 with spouse)

Prefer any window anywhere (tho a balcony will spoil you!)

Had to accept the deck 2 cabin and found it quite noisy for reasons not truly identified.  (“had to accept “ because our TA didn’t follow up with final pmt and could only get the deck2 inside to get us rebooked!   Book myself ever since!)

Get a good TA. Don't let one bad experience keep you from the perks and excellent service that's out there!
