lindy12 Posted February 25, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2011 We are in an oceanview obstructed cabin (Star princess), but the window is only discribed as 'picture'. So can they be opened or not?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam in CA Posted February 25, 2011 #5 Share Posted February 25, 2011 For safety reasons, because most are on lower decks, they are sealed. The alternative would be heavy metal covers that would be put in place and latched if the seas are moderate or heavy. This turns your cabin into an"inside" cabin, depending on the seas. This is what I had on the Regal Princess when I had a cabin on a lower deck; the windows were covered about half of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffie Posted February 26, 2011 #6 Share Posted February 26, 2011 As stated above, they don't open due to their being on lower decks. Don't want to have one open if a heavy wave should come along as it would be like a big hole. Think "Titanic." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times Prince Posted February 27, 2011 #12 Share Posted February 27, 2011 We are in an oceanview obstructed cabin (Star princess), but the window is only discribed as 'picture'. So can they be opened or not?."picture" describes a rectangular window as opposed to a circular porthole. These windows cannot be opened. We had one once on Grand Princess Plaza Deck 5, forward of the art gallery, where in some rough seas the waves from the bow of the ship covered the window. It was exciting, and we were very thankful the window could not be opened ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindy12 Posted February 27, 2011 Author #13 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Thank you for those replies. I can understand why they don't but would be nice if they did. Imagine going to sleep with that refreshing sea breeze wafting in. Ummm wonder if they let you sleep on deck.......now thats a plan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
