I actually happen to have one of E230 looking from inside the room through the balcony doors. E228 will be one cabin forward of this, so no lifeboat davit in front of that balcony.

 

E230

Here are ten photos of E404 balcony and two photos of E406 balcony taken from adjacent 408 balcony. Balcony E405 is identical to E406 but on opposite side of ship.

I don't know if these pictures have been posted jet but they are taken from the inside of E 405.

Hi,

 

We are booked on the seven-day Mediterranean cruise of the Regal Princess that departs from Venice on June 2, 2014. We originally booked stateroom M118 (category BZ obstructed balcony) but recently were upgraded to E508 (category DW obstructed deluxe balcony). I think the obstruction with M118 is a solid panel below the railing. However, the obstruction with E508 is a lifeboat or davit. Do you think this is an improvement? At least the new stateroom is larger and more conveniently located to the public rooms.

The difference between both cats are a slightly larger cabin with a loveseat sleeper versus a little smaller with a chair at vanity.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the advise. I agree with you. I called Princess today and was able to change to a category BE (C215 - standard balcony - unobstructed) for the same price. I think we will be much happier with this stateroom. Also, I asked them to mark this as "no upgrade."

 

Thanks,

 

Chuck

I have had upgrades that were worse than the lower category, I hate the new system with the multitude of categories.

Good evening,

 

From E502; we are now going to e330. Is that a better stateroom?

We just returned from the Royal and had E701. It is a PERFECT cabin with no obstructed view at all even though it is technically an obstructed view cabin. The obstruction is that if you have the upper bunks down, you cannot get to the balcony. For 2 people this cabin is perfect! Close to the stairs and to a huge bank of elevators without a wait ever! You can walk down one level to the Vista lounge for the Platinum cocktail hour each night. You can also walk down to 7 to get to the front of the ship. We had traditional dining and would walk down 2 flights to dinner each evening. Go up the elevator to 16 and you are right at the superb Horizon court for great eats and the fastest internet on the ship! I would book this cabin again and again.

This is our second time on the Royal. This time it is a 10 day. Trying to save a little so booked rooms E436 and E440. Both say obstructed. Are there any pictures out there that would show the view we could expect?

 

Thanks

[shaniarocks]

Are there any pictures out there for these two rooms? We are interested in how obstructed they are?

 

Any help would be GREAT!!!

This is my video on youtube of The Royal, if you count along using the deck plan, you'll be able to see what's obstructing your cabin, whether it's a tender or life boat. Hope this helps

I'm looking at booking The Regal Princess for Aug in the Med, I took some footage of Royal last year when we were on Carnival Sunshine, hope this might help people with balcony questions.

 

 

Excellent video. Would you mind if I post a link to it on my website that deals with obstructed view cabins. I will gladly post a credit with it.

I have now posted some pictures of the obstructed cabins on my website. It is by no means a completed project but al least it is a start.

We are booked in E710 on the Royal for 10 nights. Our TA didn't mention anything about an obstructed view, however I noticed on the Princess deck plan it is. Does anyone know how bad that one may be?

 

Thanks, Anne

E710 is fine, if you watch my video your cabin is 9 from the back(wrong side of ship) but is the same both sides. You do have a public area below.

Just got assigned this cabin. Does anyone know how the lifeboat

effects the view from the balcony. Thanks for your help.

Are the ONLY real obstructed view cabins on the Emerald Deck? If I book a BB on the Caribe or Baja decks, are all the views pretty unobstructed? Looking at Cabins C622 or B238 right now. Thanks!

I pulled this from another thread. View of Emerald deck extended angled balconies midship under the Seawalk. We stayed in one of these E411, & As u can see, there is no obstruction on these cabins other than u cannot look straight down to the water.

I didn't go back and read this entire thread but here's a website put together by CC member Renmar that should help you. It's a fantastic site and he's put a lot of time and effort into it.
