Lorik Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 I'm trying to decide between a balcony cabin on Deck 7 or 8. Is one deck better than the other? Also the cabin on Deck 7 is closer to the stairs. Would that be a problem or be more convient? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 A lot of people like deck 8 b/c it is just around the corner to Central Park....but deck 7 is just 1 deck up to CP or 1 deck down to the Boardwalk ! Personally, I would go to the room closest to the back elevators. I don’t think you can go wrong with either.

SPS Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 I can't speak of the decks themselves, but, personally, I like to pick cabins AWAY from elevators and stairways just for the sake of noise intrusions that may occur. I need the extra bit of exercise anyway! RCIDreamer96, Neesa, Lorik and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I have never heard "stair noise" on a ship, and the only elevator noise I recall has been in traditional hotels. I try to think about the places I normally go when I choose among rooms -- I hate walking long hallways, since I do that enough when I get lost!

Same here. I used to avoid rooms near an elevator on a cruise out of fear of noise. Now, I seek them out because being closer to the elevators is an advantage.

Cruisegirl1976 Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 I love deck seven aft balcony.. that way you can get to the boardwalk faster cause there is an additional door at the end of the hallway that leads to it.. it is so convenient.

Vancity Cruiser Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 My wife and I love to book on deck 8 on Oasis class, just because we love walking through Central park every chance we get. Mikeb1892 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks We have stayed on both decks and to be honest we can’t remember any difference or preference. As other have said we prefer a room close to the elevators now...Psycho’s knees don’t handle stairs well anymore.

1Cruiser1 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 We done deck 8 room 326. Second to last. Really quiet, and peaceful. Only 2 decks from Promenade. Perfect location. Middle of the ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Be aware on Oasis class the deck 7 aft elevator lobby is split and separated by the entrance to the boardwalk. If your cabin is starboard and you take the port side elevator or stairs you can't walk to the starboard side and vice versa. This means you have to pay attention and always use the elevator side that matches your cabin, port or starboard. It only takes a few times picking the wrong side before this will point will be driven home. Having said that I love deck 7 for easy access to the promenade, boardwalk and central park by stairs.

1Cruiser1 Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Not much to be honest, this was our first cruise and the first day we felt a bit but then it was fine. Felt more after we disembarked haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrifty99 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 If not in a suite, we like deck 6 for these reasons: - same deck as Boardwalk / AquaTheater aft and Spa forward. - 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.
