Some have either a soild steel rail instead of glass, or there is a Lifeboat at deck level (Emerald deck). Some on Emerald deck have lifeboat equip (davits) etc.

 

When looking at the cabin description some are noted there in red.

E 630/631 and E 701/702 are listed as obstructed, but actually have clear view in all directions.

Has anyone been in E505 on the Royal/Regal? Does the tender outside this balcony come down in port? Just curious. Never had an obstructed balcony before. Do they lower all the tenders in a port? Is there a way to tell which ones they lower from the pictures? From pictures I've seen, some look smaller than others, wonder why?

Check out Dave's post which will help you: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=42193992&postcount=2

 

The larger boats are tenders, the smaller ones are lifeboats. Lifeboats are not normally lowered in port or used as tenders.
