travispete Posted July 12, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Hi all. In your opinion what is the most desirable deck / cabin for outside ocean balcony? We want quiet location, only cabins above us and below us, no common areas, convenient to elevators. So, my first question is what's the best deck? Second question, any favorite cabins? Thank you!

Tam Tam Posted July 12, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Our favorite deck is 6 and our favorite area is as near to the aft elevators as possible. This has us a few steps away from the Boardwalk, the Promenade is one deck below and Central Park is two decks above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaflamingo Posted July 12, 2013 #3 Share Posted July 12, 2013 My vote is deck 8. It gives you access to Central Park and it's very nice to walk to the Park Cafe in the morning and grab a bagel and coffee and take it to your balcony and enjoy. Plus walking through Central Park at night is just a nice time. Easy access to pool decks and also to Promenade. We were just aft of the aft elevators and it gave us great access to everything.

Langley Cruisers Posted July 12, 2013 #4 Share Posted July 12, 2013 ^ Agreed. If you can score a hump balcony on Deck 8, this is wonderful. On Oasis class the humps are larger than other ships - the extra room is nice for sure. And as stated, the proximity to Central Park is great.

Are you saying the hump balcony, cabin or both are larger ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted July 12, 2013 #6 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Are you saying the hump balcony, cabin or both are larger ? Sorry - the cabin was the smallest we have ever stayed in, but the hump balcony was larger. We got a lounger out there - mind you, this was years ago when it wasn't frowned upon to ask for one. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m*u*g* Posted July 12, 2013 #7 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Deck 8 is our choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treborrv Posted July 12, 2013 #8 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I agree 100% with Tam Tam - Deck 6, Aft was great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaflamingo Posted July 12, 2013 #9 Share Posted July 12, 2013 If you get a hump, just ask your cabin steward for a lounger. I have done this more than once and no problem. I will say I tip $20 on first meeting to get ice, etc. so I am sure that helps. I also gave him another $10 when the lounger showed up. Worth every penny.

Rare island lady Posted July 12, 2013 #10 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Have not been on an Oasis class ship yet, but looking forward to it! We are deck 12, near the aft elevators. Hoping this is a good location also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneputt18 Posted July 12, 2013 #11 Share Posted July 12, 2013 We like 8272 on deck 8, right next to elevators, the entrance to Central Park and Dazzles. No noise from either elevator or Dazzles. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalDiamond Posted July 13, 2013 #13 Share Posted July 13, 2013 A lot of people think higher decks are better....but we like the lower decks, too. You are closer to the water. Deck 8 is great, as mentioned. We love going to the Park Café and getting snacks or breakfast, and taking them back to our balcony. But, I'd avoid deck 14, which is below the pool area.
