Spirit - "partially obstructed" balcony

[FrogCruiser]

Can anyone fill me in on the definition of "partially obstructed" balcony on this ship. The price is 300 dollar pp less - so was contemplating that unless partially is 90% !! Thanks.

I imagine you're refering to the 7A's on level 5. These are regular balconies that have lifeboats right on the other side of your railing. The tops of them are just below that railing, but some cabins also have the iron thingies that hold the lifeboats.

 

Then there are the 5A's on deck 4 are not balcony cabins, but just have a door that opens to a railing. Then all you see is lifeboat. There are some of these that can see between the lifeboats.

balcony looks VERY narrow. How much is a 8a guarantee?

I love nautical jargon, it makes me think of the sea and cruising. :p:D

LOL. I was gonna look it up, and then I thought, "Where?"

Thank you for taking my post in the spirit in which it was intended. :D

The 8A is about 200pp more than the partially obstructed balcony... thanks for the info and the photo links...
