Obstructed view pictures.

Just got off in November ship is great. Here is an obstructed view pic. Can you tell we had fun!

Wow this is a great thread for planning on obstructed views!

 

I need some help in deciding for an upcoming cruise on the Caribbean Princess. Only choices left that interest me are these two E422 or E424

Any pics or advice?

 

Thanks!

View should be very similar to cabins E410 or E416 near by on either side as shown on Theo (Renmar) site.

IMO cabin E422 is the better choice because it has a view around the front end of a lifeboat similar to the first shot whereas E424 view is over the top of a lifeboat similar to the second shot of CB E215.

You could also look at the website and compare the following cabin #.

E211-E212-E309-E312-E321-E324

They have a similar view as 422.

That first shot was a view I had from CB E211 that I flipped horizontally so it would more like the actual directly out view from E412.

Your shot of cabin E211 is towards the left and does show the slightly larger than the norm open space between the two lifeboats in this location. IMO, cabin E422 view towards the right will be over the high back end of the small rescue boat. The shot below is cropped from CB's starboard side so the rescue boat is on the opposite side so it will be to the left when viewed from the cabin.

Here's a better shot from the Golden Princess port side which has a simular set up and location for the rescue boat.

Wow! You must have been an 'organizer' in your work life! :D

 

I'm looking forward to seeing all your pictures!

If this remark is direct to me the answer is "Not really".

I have lots of pictures from cruises that I've taken and seen on the internet.

Typically I just crop the area I want from a larger high resolution shot I have. For example the above shot was cropped from the far right side of the shot, shown below, of the outside area where our cabin was on our Golden Hawaii cruise last winter.

Thanks for explaining. I recently figured out how to make mirror images from existing pictures and will try to include them on my website.

Thanks for staying on top if this. I have added some more pictures of obstructed view cabins.

Does anyone has pictures of the obstructed view cabins on Caribe deck on either the Diamond or Sapphire (cabins C106 & C109)

Theo

[robtulipe]

Theo, Here are some shots of the view from Sapphire C106. This cabin along with C109 were regular balconies before a support for the bridge was installed on each side of these ships. Since the lower mount for the support is in the space that was the balcony these cabins now have a window and are Cat. FF obstructed OV cabins.

I just received a lot of pictures from "catsforkids" who was recently on the Emerald. Thanks you so much.

As soon as I have them up on the website I'll post it here.

Theo

[flintg]

Thanks Renmar! Your web site is a gold mine of information for those with this type cabin booked! Looking forward to getting my cabin assignment so I can check it out in advance!:D

[Renmar]

Just added more pictures to the website for the Crown/Emerald & Ruby thanks to "catsforkids"

Check it out.

Thank you, Renmar. Great job.

Does anyone have a picture of Cabin E612 on the Coral/Island? TIA.

Thank you, Renmar. Great job.

I don't have many pictures of the Coral or Island but looking at the layout you might have something like this for a view. This picture is of E219 of the Emerald and it looks like it is about in the same location just behind a life boat.

Please take a picture when you on the Coral and send it to me for my collection. Have a nice cruise.

Hi Theo

As promised these pics are from D326 on Sea Princess. We were pleasantly surprised by how much we could see over the lifeboat, & by the adequate amount of daylight in the cabin.

Thanks, Theo,

 

I'll definitely send you a picture after our cruise.
