Oasis class boardwalk view vs ocean view balcony - your thoughts?

[lovescats5]

I think we had the best room to do both watching people and the balcony to enjoy the ocean.  We did an A1 Aqua Theater Suite, I know they are not cheap but it was a bucket list room ever since the Oasis was sailing, and could see everything that was going on.  But, given the two choices, I would never book a BW balcony if I could get the OV because I also like to just sit and watch the ocean or see if there are any other ships around when I wake up at 4 or 5 in the morning.

Thanks everyone.  It was a tough decision, but I decided to book an Oceanview Balcony!

Would take a neibourhood GTY over an OV window.  Pricing on the difference from OV to gGTY is close going to a OV balcony is enough more that I can passé as longed if the ability for fresh air.

We usually book OV balconies on cruises. Occasionally an ocean view. In October we are sailing on the Allure. Our very first Oasis class ship. I have wanted to sail an oasis class since its debut. We are booked in a BW balcony cabin 10325. We love people watching so we are excited about that. Plus, we lived in NYC for 15 years so the noise won't even be a factor for us. Those cabins are so unique I really wanted to try one. I did a lot of research and found that 10325 is a coveted cabin so I was thrilled to be able to grab it. We were originally on Deck 14. Plus, we got the cabin for a steal. 

This is also a special cruise because it is a belated 50th birthday for me (I turn 50 in a few weeks), our 10 year anniversary in November and husband's birthday the day we disembark the ship. 

Happy cruising.
