New KAJO Posted March 30, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Hi there, We are in the process of booking a cruise on the Pride of Hawaii. Deck 8, Category G : obstructed view. Is there anyone that knows these kind of staterooms : is there any view outdoors, or do you just get some light ? Is it really bad ? Or is it OK ? Can I find any pictures on the net of such a stateroom ? Because of limited flights ( we are from Europe ) I have to book right now. Is there anyone that could advise us ? Thanks !

immargaret Posted March 30, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Here's a link if you put in specific cabin numbers it will tell you what % of the view is blocked. Most will still allow light in...basically it's blocked by life boats hanging in the windows. http://www.cruisedeckplans.com/DP/Main/shipsncl.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints25 Posted March 30, 2007 #3 Share Posted March 30, 2007 how do you get pictures of sun room 8077 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan-Neil Posted March 30, 2007 #4 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I was on the Pearl in Feb and according to the site, my cabin had a 100% obstruction. The reality was that just below my window was one of the emergency boats. I had a clear view out, just obstructed view when looking downwards. BTW It was cabin 8102 - HC with tons of room.

shoreguy Posted March 30, 2007 #5 Share Posted March 30, 2007 It is fine - good value - plenty of light - far better then an inside - you just may have to look around or thru a large lifeboat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kajo I have to tell you...plan on *total* obstruction. One couple in our group had one (8576)- and it was bad. really bad. (The Front Desk Manager admitted that it was more of a "light feature" than an actual window. Can't say much light got in. ) We were on deck 5... had a beautiful picture window - paid $150 less per person. Go figure. NCL will have you believe that "obstructed view" means you have "a" view. Don't take their word for it. You'd do better to have an inside cabin and save the $$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claudie Posted March 30, 2007 #7 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Look, obstructed means something is blocking your view but not the daylight. We had 2 "G"s on the Pearl over Christmas and thought the obstruction was not an issue. For the short amount of time you spend in the room it's worth the savings. I would book them again.

happy tigress Posted April 1, 2007 #8 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Just got back from the Jewel and had obstructed cabin 8574. It was a pleasant surprise. We expected no view at all but could see through the lifeboat and it wasn't too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmacri Posted September 23, 2007 #11 Share Posted September 23, 2007 We just got back from the Star. Cabin 8088. Someone had given me a link where you type in the Ships name and Cabin number and it gives you all the imenities. I did that and it said 90% obstructed view. So, we werent' too disappointed when it really was 90% obstructed. The nice part was it had 2 windows so we still got the light in. Hopefully someone will give you that link.

Jade's Fire Posted September 23, 2007 #12 Share Posted September 23, 2007 We were in an obstructed view room on Pride of America and we had much more of a view than I'd expected. You have to look over the lifeboat but you can still see everything beyond. Absolutely no problem with light or feeling closed in. I'd say go for it.

I've worked with NCL for many years as a TA and never once did an agent say there would be a view...bottom line....obstructed is just that....if you want a view, you will have to pay for an unobstructed view.

lambs2 Posted July 22, 2008 #15 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Still looking for someone who has stayed in, or even seen inside, either cabin 8056 or 8058 on the Jade (was Pride of Hawaii). Any pictures out there??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
