DancingDuo Posted November 12, 2011 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Anyone have pictures or info on the obstructed views from these cabins on Deck 6? Like to have daylight in cabin and do not need complete views, but would prefer to know how bad or good it really is before we book. Cabins we usually book are sold out and this is the next available choice for us. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trabeler Posted November 12, 2011 #2 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Deck 6 has two types of obstructed view verandas... 2C and 2D. The obstruction is due to the lifeboats, which are on Deck 5. For the 2D cabins, the top of the lifeboat comes up to the top of the veranda railing. For 2C, the top of the lifeboat comes up to the bottom of the veranda. With either category, you can look out straight, but your view down is obstructed. We have sailed in 2C and found it to be a good value. When you're in the cabin, you can look out straight and not really be bothered by the top of the lifeboat. To us, the 2D is not lower enough in price to compensate for a view of the orange lifeboat while in the cabin. I have some pictures of the view from a 2C but don't know how to post them to show you.

dolittle Posted November 13, 2011 #3 Share Posted November 13, 2011 We just did the T.A. in 6253 .You are above the life boats but there is a white posts that dont block the view. We saved 200 dollars it was well worth .By the way the rooms are huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vap1120 Posted November 13, 2011 #4 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Were you in a handicap cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emo Posted November 13, 2011 #5 Share Posted November 13, 2011 here are some photos of our cabin on the Solstice, which should be extremely similar to the corresponding cabin on Silhouette. This is a category 2D, or "fully obstructed". As you can see, the lifeboat is in the way, but there is still a great view. This room also had a nearly triple sized balcony. I also have some photos of a deck 6 cat. 2C on the Equinox which i can post if needed :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellysh Posted November 15, 2011 #6 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Hi, We will be on Deck 6 ......2c cabin on the silhouette. Would appreciate it if you could post the photos you have. Thanks, Shelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emo Posted November 15, 2011 #7 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Shelly... here are a few different angles of our deck 6 2C balcony. The lifeboats are about floor level, So when you're standing up at the railing, you still have a clear view out to the horizon. Straight out at rail height: Looking forward over rail: Sitting down: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robtulipe Posted November 15, 2011 #8 Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) This is the Solstice starboard side. Balcony cabins over the tenders, marked 6180 to 6210, are Cat. 2D obstructed and the ones to the right of 6180, over the lifeboat, are Cat. 2C balconies.

shellysh Posted November 16, 2011 #10 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Thanks for the info and the photos. I have a better idea of what the deck 6 2C on the Silhouette will be like. Shelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWO4THESEA Posted November 19, 2011 #12 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Great pics.... thanks.. we're booked Jan 23 Ultimate Caribbean 11 nite. We've got Cabin 6284 deck 6. Has anyone been in this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our cabin was 6146, listed as a 2B, but it has a davit obstructing the view. If two people are sitting on the balcony, one of them will be looking straight at the davit. Really think it should be listed as a 2C or 2D. Edited November 19, 2011 by MareT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone been in this one? The view for Cabin 6284 is over the end of the last lifeboat as indicated by the arrow in the shot below. Ignore the washer platform behind the davit since it is normally stored at the stern. Edited November 19, 2011 by robtulipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just booked a cruise on Silhouette and 6146 is now listed as the most forward of the 2C balconies. In fact that rear portion of the front jump section with the lifeboat is now all classed as 2C balconies except for 6154 and 6153 which are classed as even lower 2D.

CruisinCadie Posted November 20, 2011 #17 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Thanks for the great photos. We're in a 2C on the Equinox in January, and it's nice to actually see what to expect. Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staygulf Posted November 20, 2011 #18 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I never quite get this "obstructed view" thing. I've stayed in a 2C and yes, whilst you couldn't look straight down to the sea, the view out to sea was unobstructed. But all those cabins above, however high you go, also have the same view yet they are not marketed with a partially obstructed view. The 2c's represent excellent value if price is an issue.

FishOn55 Posted January 26, 2012 #19 Share Posted January 26, 2012 This is the Solstice starboard side. Balcony cabins over the tenders, marked 6180 to 6210, are Cat. 2D obstructed and the ones to the right of 6180, over the lifeboat, are Cat. 2C balconies. I've sailed in cabin 6190 (2D) on the Solstice. I did alot of research before booking that cabin several years ago. It is one of the cabins that have a balcony view exactly between the struts so you are actually able to see the water below. Our only negative was that we like to keep our drapes open at night and the light outside our cabin shined on the orange top of the lifeboat.

iluvcrewzn Posted April 1, 2016 #24 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I know this is an old thread but hoping to get some help. We are booked in cabin 6252 and read the cabins are huge? and balcony larger? Is this true? I only have a week to change our cabin so any help would be wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
