Oasis Deck 8 vs Deck 12

[glock813]

I am currently booked on an upcoming Oasis of the Seas cruise in a large hump balcony cabin on deck 8 (8198). I have been looking around and have discovered a room in the same category is now available on deck 12 (12596). Any thoughts on which deck or stateroom is better and why? Thanks for the help!

All D cat cabins are the exact same size, so just pick the deck/location you want. If you are a big pool deck user then 12 is closer

If it is the same category cabin (D3 and D3, for example), then the cabins are basically identical except for if the bed is by the balcony or by the closet. The only difference, then, would be location. Deck 8 is closer to Central Park, Boardwalk, restaurants, etc and farther from the pool. Deck 12 is closer to the pool and Windjammer but farther away from everything else. It really just depends what location you'd prefer.

 

Personally I'd probably stick with 8.

We were just on deck 9. I would say Deck 8 would be my choice. It is closer to everything on the ship except Windjammer, Spa, and Pool deck. It is always easier going up on elevators and using the stairs to head to lower areas.

Deck 8 is my favorite , as others have said , close to the Park Cafe .

Short walk up the stairs from the promenade too.

I booked the same level on the Anthem, but haven`t sailed on her yet .

I was on the 7th on the Serenade , didn`t like the balcony over the lifeboats,

so deck 8 for me always moving forward.

We like deck 8 because of central park. We have had a JS on a hump twice so we little bigger balcony and we're right on central park. We love eating at the cafe there and spending time in the park. It is very convenient for breakfast or a snack (in case we just don't get enough to eat on a cruise!).

Had a hump on 8 on Oasis earlier this year. LOVED it!!! Not big pool people, but loved being close to Central Park!!!!!

We have sailed on Oasis multiple times. Our favorite location was 7198, one deck lower! Location, location, location😊

[glock813]

Well I definitely appreciate all of the advice. Looks like we are gonna stay on deck 8! Thanks again!

I think you'll be very happy with Deck 8. Our last 3 cruises were on deck 8 and I just booked it again for a future cruise. Enjoy!

As others have said Deck 8 puts you closer to the non-pool action which many enjoy, including us. Deck 12 puts you closer to the pool action. In all reality both are great options as there really isn't a bad location on a cruise ship. :)

We were on the Allure and had an inside cabin on deck 8. Loved the location so much that when we booked the Oasis we stayed on deck 8. Loved being off Central Park. Close to the Park Cafe.

I love deck 8 because it is right there at Central Park,near Park Cafe and Vintages. Nice to scroll thru central Park when going fore to aft rather than down a long corridor.
