obstructed view balcony cabin

[wulber]

Hi, We are in 6704 on Anthem of the seas.Has anyone stayed in this cabin on Quantum or know how bad the obstruction is likely to be .

We're happy with it as the price was ok for us.

6704 only has a 50% obstruction. Basically you are looking out over the top of the lifeboat. The 75% obstructed cabins have a davit that blocks more of the upper view.

 

Sitting down you will notice the obstruction but standing you won't.

Thanks for your reply . That's not too bad.

For all the time we'll spend out there.

It's just good to get some fresh air.

RCI created the obstructed view balcony category (DO) specifically for the quantum class, and I believe it's a rare example of truth in advertising. I would choose a DO it again for the price, but believe you should go in with eyes wide open (though you may not see much).

Thanks HiCSailor. That was interesting reading.

Wonder what kind of noise we would have located about 4 cabins from the upper floor of Two70.Dont mind noise during the day but not at night.

Maybe need to rethink this one.

We're next door to your cabin on Antham.

 

Thanks for your above post, a good read.

 

We have eyes open and looking forward to it.

You're very welcome. [emoji5]

 

I'm sure you will enjoy it, and you might consider moving further aft if a shift is an option (Royal's UK site will show available DO's and the % obstruction). Alternatively, anything forward of 6566 will be partially unobstructed because the forward-most lifeboat is adjacent to 6566.

 

As I wrote in the review, most of what's going on is towards the back end. Having the deck 6 passage to Two70 is super nice. [emoji41]

I think you have a choice location! As you saw, my only lament was the commute aft and you've solved that.

 

I can't imagine Two70 causing you any noise issues at all. There is one virtually hidden and always closed sound proof door that connects deck 6 to the upper level of Two70.

[wulber]

Yes HiCSailor I thought it was in a good spot for Two70.

Just thought there might noise through the night after closing when they were cleaning but from what you have said all's well.

Happy days👍
