same, on some nights you could hear a murmur from the crew bar but again it wasn't a disturbance to us.

I got back about a month ago from the Anthem of the seas 11 night trip from NJ to the Caribbean. We were staying in a forward facing room on deck 8. Throughout the trip there was a massive banging sound in the room. A friend was staying in the front as well on the opposite side of the boat and heard it as well. Metal smashing on metal type sound. Almost like someone dropped a couch. Talked to guest services and they had some people come to the room and they said it was the waves hitting the front of the boat. I was a little surprised by this as we are many decks up from the water level and I could only imagine what it sounded like at the water level. Anyone else stay towards the very front and have this issue? Luckily we all sleep pretty heavily, so it didn't ruin the trip.

Thanks all for the feedback. Seems like there are no real bad balconies except for personal preference and maybe pool deck noise. I wanted to make sure there wasn't anything like quantum class where I could end up with the view of a life boat or whatever. Appreciate the info. Very helpful

I will see you there! We are on the same cruise!

Was it called gulmohar or is there another one?

Going on anthem next week (San Juan, st martin,, Antigua, st Kitts and st lucia). For the bourbon drinkers out there, anything decent onboard? What about at the islands? Is gulmohars still a good place to visit? Last time I was there (pre covid) they were getting expensive. Any other places to check out?

Thank you. It is a $500 difference so it is significant saving.

Considering booking a guaranteed balcony room on Oasis. With that in mind, what are the worst balconies on Oasis? I don't see any listed with major obstructions or anything similar to what Quantum class has. I assume the ones right next to music hall are loud but are there other things I am missing? How are the ones on 6 behind playmakers or Johnny Rockets? Trying to figure out what the absolute worst case I could end up with.

Their menus are on their fb page. Ec to usd conversion late is 2.6ec to 1usd

Any suggestions on what to eat/drink or what to avoid? We were there pre covid and loved it. Going back in a few weeks

We did Oasis in Sept. The times listed above are what we experienced. The younger of the 2 will need reservations to go to AO babies and there is an hourly fee. We had a terrible time getting hours for our 18 month old. I think on our 7 day trip we got a grand total of about 10 hours of care for her. The older one can be dropped off anytime they are open as long as they aren't at max capacity. Good luck

was onboard in sept. We struggled to get our under 3 daughter into the nursery. They had very few hours available and honestly I wasn't thrilled with the staff there. I think we ended up with a grand total of about 10 hours all week that we were able to drop our daughter off. I think it was $6 an hour for the little one. Our 4+ year old LOVED the AO. I believe they were open 9-12, 2-5, and 7-10 for free and then late night hours with a charge after that. We never had issues dropping him off and all the kids came out smiling with good stories and arts and crafts each night. Definitely make it a priority to go there as soon as you can onboard to sign the kids up and to book hours for your little ones.

I recently stayed in 12729, the room was fine and there is a slight view of the wake but not a good one. If you want to be connected to the ocean, boardwalk rooms are not for you. The 2 biggest headaches, it is a long walk to the room and the aqua show is LOUD and you can clearly hear it in your room.

Thank you. I avoid times when school is out for exactly those reasons.

Recently cruised Oasis and had the hardest time getting our daughter available hours in AO babies. My pre covid cruise on Anthem, AO babies was open all day. On Oasis it was 9-12, 2-5, and 7-late. Is this standard across the board now? We are cruising again on Anthem in January and want to set expectations early. Have other families struggled to get hours in AO baby or was it just our luck because there was a lot of small kids on our cruise? If you don't mind listing which ship and when you were traveling it would be helpful to me when discussing your experience
