Allure floor question

Hi,

I am booking the Allure. Never been on this ship but been on the Oasis and the Freedom. I somehow ended up on the 6th floor for both of these ships. I have the option of floor 6, 8, 11 or 12.

Which one would you do?

Thanks!

I like deck 8 because it's the same deck as Central Park.

What are the positives about being on that same floor? Just wondering

Walking through Central Park is a pleasant way to traverse the ship lengthwise. There are also several food venues there, including the complimentary Park Cafe.

6 for sure! You're within 2 decks of the theater, skating rink, casino, MDR, promenade, boardwalk, and central park. Easy walk to any of them.

We like 8 very much on Allure and Oasis. Smack dab in the middle of the decks, easy out to Central Park, right near Dazzles for dancing in the evenings and easy up or down to whichever deck for other food or entertainment. Probably our favorite deck for a cabin on those ships...

I like deck 8 because of central park. I also like deck 12 because it's only 2 deck down from the pool

6 and 8 are fairly central to things so they are popular. I personally like to be up near the pool , but have a one deck buffer between me and the pool deck, so for me it is deck 12, which I have done twice.

I personally liked deck 8 as it was nice going out to the park in the evenings or grabbing tapas from Vintages to bring back to the room and enjoy on the balcony. I would think deck 6 would also be nice and convenient.

If I am in a suite I like to be closer to the Concierge Lounge (deck 11).

But if not in a suite or not using the CL, I like deck 6 for these reasons:

- same deck as Boardwalk / AquaTheater aft and Spa forward.

- same deck as Diamond Lounge if you are Diamond or higher (but they are moving the DL next year down to deck 4 I believe).

- walk down one deck to the Promenade.

- walk down one deck to walking / jogging track.

- walk down two decks to Casino and Amber theater.

- walk up 2 decks to Central Park.

- walk down 1 or 2 decks to Main Dining Room.

So most of the time we do not need to bother with elevators and just take the stairs up down 1 or 2 decks for the majority of our activities. The exception is going to/from the pool deck 15.

I would look at the deck plans,http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/ships/ship/decks/deck/home.do?shipCode=AL, and decide what you would like the most ,then book the deck closest to that, since you cruised oasis did you have a favorite place

See above in bold......diamond lounge has already moved.

You are referring to Oasis and the recent dry dock. Allure still has Diamond Lounge on Deck 6 at this time.

Deck 8...for all the reasons already listed. Was wonderful walking thru the park everywhere and never crowded after the initial lunch crowd on embarkation.

I agree, we had 6 on Allure and we will have it on Oasis too.

Thank you everyone. I booked it on 6. I actually got 2 rooms. One for DH and I and a separate one for the kids for the same (even a bit cheaper if you can believe it) price.

Question though -- the rooms we were looking at are quite close to the Diamond Lounge. Does it get loud in there? Anything I should know about that? I'm not a Diamond member. Far from it.

It will be very quiet in the Diamond Lounge after 8:30pm.

That's good. I won't be in my room before then and neither will the kids if our last cruise was any indication.

I loved Deck 6, right where the action was.

I like higher so I can take the stairs to the pool deck if needed (but not deck 14 which is underneath the pool deck). If not there, mid way between 8 and 15 as those are the decks I visit the most during sea days.

Ive always picked Deck 9 on all of my Oasis class shipments. But since Deck 9 is not an option, Id vote for Deck 8. We always walked down a flight of stairs and hit Central Park
