Renmar Posted November 18, 2013 Author #751 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I hope they do put your thread on a sticky as it has helped many passengers decide on your cabins. We were on the Caribbean Princess Cabin E406 in August on the British Isles cruise. I thought I had picked the perfect cabin from your website. It was a running joke on the Roll Call, I had picked this cabin for the view as there were many from our Roll Call in the same area with obstructed cabins and a few had wanted that cabin. I think cabin E406's picture was switched with E404. I was disappointed when I entered the cabin to see the view had ladders, wires, and barrels in front on the window. I spoke to the passenger in cabin E404 as she was from our Roll Call and she said "I think we have your cabin". Can you give me you email address so when we are finished going over our 1,500 pictures, I can send you a picture of E406. Thank you for pointing this out. This is the first time that this is mentioned. My email is on the website but here it is theog99@telus.net Looking forward to your pictures.

Renmar Posted November 19, 2013 Author #752 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Thanks to Wendy (Phabric) I was able to correct the picture for E406 & E405. Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigenna Posted November 19, 2013 #753 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Theo, thanks so much for putting this all together. We often book obstructed ov staterooms And the first place I head is to my bookmarks where your site is saved on my computer. Looking forward to new compilation for royal/regal. We will be sailing next august on regal in obstructed balcony / L101. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go South Posted November 19, 2013 #754 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Thanks to Wendy (Phabric) I was able to correct the picture for E406 & E405. Theo Yep, that's a bit different. A little disappointing, but it will still let in plenty of light, certainly more that a life boat would. It won't ruin our cruise though. We don't plan to spend that much time in the cabin as we intend to be out having fun! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phabric Posted November 19, 2013 #755 Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) We had a good view compared to some of the pictures from the website. We had a very busy cruise so wanted to have some daylight and see what the weather was like. It did not bother us. The chair was under the window so was able to look out. One day the workers were out there, painting I think, I don't know if they could see in, maybe they have been told not to look into the windows(?).

Renmar Posted February 5, 2014 Author #756 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I posted some new pictures (supplied by a CC member) for the obstructed balconies on the dolphin deck, Coral/Island Princess. Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchip Posted February 5, 2014 #757 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hi Renmar, Love your thread. We just had E310 on the Grand. I took photos of the obstruction (not much) and the positioning of the bed in the cabin. Would you like these photos? If so, I will send them to your email address. Cheers, Denise.

Thrak Posted February 5, 2014 #758 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I was hoping for a section with views of the porthole rooms. I've wondered about those and what they were like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renmar Posted February 5, 2014 Author #760 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I was hoping for a section with views of the porthole rooms. I've wondered about those and what they were like. Do you mean the aft cabins on some of the ships? They have what looks like a 2 small portholes. Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted February 5, 2014 #761 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Do you mean the aft cabins on some of the ships? They have what looks like a 2 small portholes. Theo YES! I know there are some ships that have aft cabins on the outside corners that are porthole rooms. I've wondered about booking one of those but couldn't find a picture to see what they were actually like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've wondered about booking one of those but couldn't find a picture to see what they were actually like. I'll check my files and see if I can find something. For sure you are going to have an unobstructed view. Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillslife Posted February 23, 2014 #765 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Thanks again Theo... just used your site, once again, to book on the Crown. It is a bit harder to find now that the search function isn't working...wish the moderators would make this a stickie! But I would not book without you...appreciate all your efforts and for keeping this current ....:p Dolores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpcv77 Posted February 23, 2014 #766 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Renmar, I would also like to thank you for your great work. We sailed Princess for the first time a couple of months ago. Our party had three consecutive obstructed view cabins. It was nice to see what they would be likes head of time (Diamond). Recently booked a cruise on the Grand and used your site for cabin selection. Thanks again for your hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renmar Posted February 23, 2014 Author #768 Share Posted February 23, 2014 As always, I'm open for additional picture to upgrade the website. Especially high resolution ones. Currently I'm working with better quality pictures but that means that I have to split up the 1 website and probably have to create a separate website for each class of ships.

AE_Collector Posted March 3, 2014 #772 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Hey Theo, you were heading off on a cruise soon...have you been yet? You mentioned you would be trying to get as many new pictures of Obstructed View cabins as possible once onboard. That made me laugh seeing you hiding behind the carts in the hall waiting for the opportunity to run in and snap pictures while the Steward was looking the other way!

Terry (in Coquitlam) No need to hide behind carts, most stewards don't mind if you ask nicely. I also make sure to get approval from the appropriate department to take the pictures. Going on a B2B on the Ruby in August :D and I will try to (re)take as many pictures as possible. I'm still looking for more pictures for the Royal/Regal. I know there are a lot of pictures posted on CC and I think I copied them all. However, there are not very many pictures of what the view is like from the inside looking straight out.
