DChabira Posted October 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 23, 2017 My wife and I are booked on a 15-Day Transatlantic Cruise on the Royal Princess next year. We have reserved cabin E428 on the Emerald Deck which is Deck 8. I’m looking for anyone who has stayed in this cabin, on this ship, not the Regal? I’d love to see some photos, or video? The cabin is listed as “OBSTRUCTED VIEW” but I’ve read some posts from others saying it doesn’t have any obstructions. It has a larger than normal balcony, and some say the reason it’s listed as an “OBSTRUCTED VIEW” is the odd angle of the balcony? I found a video on YOUTUBE of E429 which is the mirror image cabin on the opposite side of the ship, and I don’t see any obstructions? Any help would be appreciated?

diane.in.ny Posted October 25, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I think I read that the reason it is considered obstructed is that the lifeboats are right below your balcony. You can't look down and see anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realtysandy Posted January 23, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Was it obstructed..looking to book it if its not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolane1 Posted January 23, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Not obstructed. Book it. Larger balcony. I have stayed in two of the rooms below, one on port side and one on starboard side. Lovely. Below you there is an open public deck but almost nobody ever goes there. You could possibly hear talk but I have never noticed it. On the starboard side, the sea walk juts out which allows views into the balconies, but the emerald deck is so far below, it's a non issue. The following cabins on emerald deck have no obstructions 405--407--409--411--415--417--421--425--429 406--408--410--412--414--416--420--424--428 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpeabody Posted January 23, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I have 2 cruises booked on the Royal. Cabin E424 Around The Horn and Cabin E425 Alaska. I think you chose well, I stayed in E409 on the Regal on a previous cruise that was a Deluxe Obstructed Balcony and very similar to these (without the small couch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookyfudge Posted January 23, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 23, 2018 We were in this cabin for t/a, no obstruction, under balcony is a ledge which sometimes crew wash down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lor74 Posted January 23, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 23, 2018 In 429 on Regal right now...awesome cabin. No obstruction, no noise, big balcony, mid-ship, no motion Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoohUnderstands Posted January 23, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I wouldn't be concerned about balcony view, it looks fine. What I might be considering is the stateroom's location via Deck 7 below it. This stateroom is right above Crooners. I am a VERY light sleeper and might this be a little noisy at night? Love the stateroom otherwise. Pooh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khfadpi Posted January 26, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 26, 2018 We stayed in E428 last year. Not obstructed view. No noise from below. Wonderful room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Royal’s E436 cabin & should be basically the same in E432…no obstruction looking out, looking down on open Promenade deck & looking aft at lifeboats.
