LuckiePuris Posted January 29, 2008 #5 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hi, I just got back from Category H i think it was. Obstructed view on Dolphin Deck, on Pacific Dawn. Yes you do have a lifeboat covering most of your window but you can still see out and see the ocean! We were lucky enough to have one of the rooms in front of the lifeboat that they always took down to use as a tenders. So every day at an island that used tender, we awoke to a FABULOUS view. The only thing I would warn you about is that in the mornings when they lower their tender, the chains make a little noise. Not too loud, but as I am a light sleeper it woke me up. Scared me though the first morning! But it was good as my alarm clock! Also, make sure you shut your curtains before you go to sleep the night before, because there is a walk way outside your window which the P&O staff use to get to the lifeboats. Just incase you wake up one morning and you see someone waving at you! I have a few photos of the obstructed view, with tender in front and with tender taken down. Will post them when I get home from work. Happy Cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckiePuris Posted February 2, 2008 #6 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Hi, Sorry I didn't get to post these photos earlier for you. These are the photos that were taken out of our room in Dolphin Deck, Pacific Dawn. You can see the view when the tender was on, and when it had been lowered to be used for tendering to the islands. I personally thought it was a good idea to get an obstructed view as it was cheaper than the normal window view rooms, and just a little more than an inside cabin. Hope this helps! Happy Cruising! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushtail Posted February 2, 2008 #7 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Great information and photos, LuckiePuris. You can look at the map of the ship as often as you like and still be non the wiser. There's nothing that beats first hand info. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
