Sailed on my husband's birthday and wanted this itinerary; St Maartin especially.
With the storm Hermine threatening Florida, we left the west coast early and arrived early to the dock. Parking was quite easy and dropping a bag as well so we boarded before noon. Cabins not ready yet so we went to Central Park to wait.
The ship is exactly like Oasis, we've sailed on her twice so knew what to expect. Our outside oceanview balcony was near the stern, 8286, but not too far from the elevator. We liked the location as it's very convenient to CP. Adequate storage, same small but functional bathroom and comfortable bed. Steward was slightly visible but attended the cabin and our requests very well.
Toward the stern but not too far from elevator and steps. Easy location to get to Boardwalk, Royal Prom and same deck as Central Park. Cabin was quiet. Had a young child next door but never heard through the bed-side wall. Good water pressure at sink.
