Obstructed Baloney on the Miracle

[AZCAMM]

We are thinking of booking an obstructed balcony cabin on the Upper Deck (5).

Any thoughts of pictures you might be able to share would be helpful

Thank you.

What is the obstruction I wonder. If I recall you can look out and to the sides but you have a nice view if you look down at the to of the lifeboats.

We had an obstructed view on the Legend. The obstruction was the lifeboat. You could see over the life boat as the lifeboat was below the top of the balcony railing. Your view downward is obstructed. You cannot look down to see the wake along side of the ship.

 

If you are going to select an obstructed view balcony, choose one between the lifeboats or in the front where the life rafts are. The life rafts leave less obstruction than the life boats.

 

In our opinion the obstructed view balcony cabins are a great deal.

Had 5189 on the miracle and the only obstuction was that the lifeboat went upt to the bottom of the balcony so you couldn't look down now big deal. Just avoid the first three lifeboats and you are good to go.

Just book a cabin after the first 3 tender/lifeboats. Those sit up higher. I had cabin 5232 on the Spirit, and there was no obstruction when sitting on the balcony looking out. As others have said, only obstructed when looking down.

 

Cabins 5236 and 5238 are the bowling alley balconies.

I have nothing of value to add here.

 

BUT

 

 

I'm pissing myself laughing at the title. I imagine down in the deli there's something only just blocking your almost perfect view of the sandwich meats.

 

 

Obstructed Baloney.

 

I'm halfway through my night shift with only my laptop to keep me company and now I need the potty.

 

Thank you.

Steer clear of the first one or two lifeboats from the prow, they have a higher rooftop and will obstruct your view. The others come up to your balcony floor and are okay. My sister-in-law has a fear of heights and this level was perfect for her as she couldn't look down but could enjoy all the sights on the Alaska trip. Happy cruising.:)

Yes the obstructed balconies are on deck 5 and obstructed by lifeboats. But we just got off the Miracle and had an extended balcony on deck 7 that we were not very happy with.

Cabin 7158. When we booked, I didn't even think about it. But it is the first cabin on Port side right behind the first bank of balcony cabins. There is an offset in the rooms and it sits inward toward the center of the ship about 4 feet. When we were on the balcony, you could not see forward, but only out and toward the back of the ship. Still had a good time, but just warning others.

BTW, I had to laugh when I first read this too, because I thought maybe the baloney sandwich didn't pass though and they had to go to the ships infirmary.

Have had obstructed balcony several times on Miracle and other ships and didnt think it was a big deal.

I just got off the Miracle and had an obstructed view balcony. As said before, if you can book over the last 3 life boats you can even sit in a chair on your balcony and see everything. I loved it. I took a zillion pictures of various obstructed view cabins on the Miracle and will post them when I get around to it. The picture below is of a cabin that was towards the back of one of the last 3 life boats. Mine was one in front of that, so I did not have the higher bump that has the 'plus' sign on it.

Yeah I liked it for a different reason... it was my first balcony and first cruise as a solo and first cruise in 16 years and first over 21. My family and I were worried about falling over the side because of the recent news stories. Needless to say I took a picture of the balcony and sent to my sister and they felt better. I am was hooked ever since!

The following staterooms have an obstructed view due to the location of the lifeboats on Main Deck 4:

 

 

Category 4F: Each stateroom has a window.

4202 4203 4205 4207

 

 

Category 4F: Each stateroom has a set of French Doors; the doors open up into the cabin; there is no balcony.

4105 4106 4107 4108 4109 4110 4111 4112 4114 4115 4116 4117 4118 4119 4120 4121 4122 4123 4124 4125 4126 4127 4128 4129 4130 4131 4132 4133 4134 4135 4136 4137 4138 4139 4140 4141 4142 4143 4144 4145 4146 4147 4148 4149 4150 4151 4152 4153 4154 4155 4188 4189 4190 4191 4192 4193 4194 4195 4196 4197 4198 4199 4200 4201

 

 

Category 7A: Each stateroom has a standard balcony that is obstructed by the top of the lifeboat from the deck below or by the lifeboat davits; this does not interfere with the Ocean View as the lifeboat does not protrude above the balcony railing.

Each stateroom has a large balcony that is obstructed by the top of the lifeboat from the deck below or by the lifeboat davits; this does not interfere with the Ocean View as the lifeboat does not protrude above the balcony railing.

 

Category 9A: 5241 5243

Category 7A: 5236 5238 5245

blocked by lifeboat. Called a French door cabin, we used the bolster be on the day bed to hold open the door. This was on the Miracle.

 

[hockeyluver]

Here are a few of our obstructed view pictures from the Miracle , cabin 5236 we would book them again.

We have cruise buddies that all the book is 5236. They love the bowling alley.

Here are some short videos showing the balcony and view of our obstructed balcony cabin 5236 on the Miracle. We loved this cabin and wanted to book it again for our upcoming cruise but someone beat us to it! Oh well next time :)

Same thought here!!! I literally had tears running down my face I laughed so hard!

 

I hate it when my baloney is obstructed!:D

[missorahbaby]

Personally I HATE it when the baloney is obstructed! ;)

 

So those pictures of "obstructed view" balconies don't look so bad. I could live with one of those...
