djcass4199 Posted January 4, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 4, 2015 This might be a dumb question, but after trying a Google search, I figured I'd ask the community. Can anyone describe to me what you get in terms of window/view with an interior cabin with picture window? Is it an actual window but just looks out on some lifeboats or is this something else? Does anyone have a picture? We are looking at a cruise on Carnival Sunshine and were curious about these staterooms. Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted January 4, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) It is basically a Camera on the outside of the ship, that projects an image on a large screen in your room. That's probably the simplest explanation. Edited January 4, 2015 by GUT2407 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are referring to the porthole cabins, you do get 2 portholes for the price of an inside cabin. IMO the tradeoff is the location. You will be all the way forward and will likely experience more ship movement which can be problematic if you get into any swells and are prone to motion sickness. Personally I would rather have a standard inside cabin than a porthole inside cabin because of the location. http://www.cruisecritic.com/cabinguru/deckplanreviews.cfm?ShipID=658&category=PT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ata1976 Posted January 4, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I don't think it's any of the above. I think it's those cabins that are high up and all the way forward that has the walkway in front of the window.

These are the cabins that look out onto the 'secret decks', You will get a view of the sky (light!) and the walkway outside your window (it has a solid wall below the railing so you can't see through it). ou can access the walkway from a door in the hallway. Beware though, people can and will be walking past your window - you will probably want to keep your curtains closed some of the time ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted January 4, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Maybe OP needs to clarify just which one they are talking about, so far three answers all talking about 3 different possible types of cabin?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poison7fl Posted January 4, 2015 #8 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I had an obstructed view on the Destiny (Sunshine) and I was looking through lifeboat machinery below the lifeboats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poison7fl Posted January 4, 2015 #9 Share Posted January 4, 2015 It is basically a Camera on the outside of the ship, that projects an image on a large screen in your room.

djcass4199 Posted January 4, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Maybe OP needs to clarify just which one they are talking about, so far three answers all talking about 3 different possible types of cabin?:confused: The room type is called interior cabin with picture window (obstructed view). Some are on Lobby deck 3 all the way forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Deane Posted January 4, 2015 #11 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I had an obstructed view on the Destiny (Sunshine) and I was looking through lifeboat machinery below the lifeboats. Yes, looking at the deck plan, I see there is this type also. Both this type and the cabins up front behind the walkways are 4 J Interior with Picture Window.

lunagirl Posted January 4, 2015 #12 Share Posted January 4, 2015 We have one of these cabins (4J) booked on the Liberty in May. In our case, the cabin is located directly under the Bridge and the window looks out onto the walkway for the "Secret Deck" This is the first time we have booked this particular type of cabin after a couple of interiors and a balcony. It gives us the option to see the weather and ship location outside without having to be on Deck 1 or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglecat Posted January 4, 2015 #13 Share Posted January 4, 2015 My daughter had been in a 4J cabin. It is as located in the very front looking straight out front. Her PvP told her its a secret to cruising that they don't want you to know! They LOVED it. Whomever posted you just go out into the hall and out a door to a walkway was correct! You pay for an interior but actually get a small balcony or so they tell you. Not sure balcony is what it really is nor not. We just had this type of room booked. for our Feb 7 cruise. Due to a sale we upgraded to a balcony and got $108 back so I won't get to experience it this time. I plan on checking it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also some on deck 7 and 6. You can see some good pictures there. I have a ton but don't know how to load them on here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SadieN Posted January 5, 2015 #16 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) The Spirit Class ships also have these. Spirit, Pride, Legend, Miracle. Category 4K, most have French Doors but the furthest most aft ones have picture windows. Deck 4, views are obstructed by lifeboats.

BigMomma409 Posted January 5, 2015 #17 Share Posted January 5, 2015 cruise line rooms dot com No spaces... Thank you so much for sharing that. It's exactly the kind of thing I'd been looking for. Our cabin isn't on it, but the one down the hall is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted January 5, 2015 #18 Share Posted January 5, 2015 This is a 4J cabin (7201) on the Carnival Liberty. We love them!! And the "secret" deck in front..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheckersMidwest Posted January 6, 2015 #20 Share Posted January 6, 2015 In the 4J cabins, you are required to keep your curtains closed at night. (Obviously, I'd do that anyway). The cabin lights interfere with the ship's navigation. The steward will close them when he makes the beds up for the night & they'll remind you if you forget & open them.
