sacnaillady Posted February 18, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I have a midship balcony cabin on the Upper deck of the ship Miracle for an Alaskan cruise the end if June, room 5165. It says in the descriptions that it has a partially obstructed view. Can anyone tell me if they know how obstructed the view is? Do you have a picture from your cabin balcony you could post? I got one of the "free" cabins so beggars can't be choosers I just want to know what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The advantage is that you do have daylight coming in and a door that opens, even though you can't go out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An obstructed Balcony has a smaller balcony platform, and since this particular cabin is situated within the area of the first 3 lifeboats, you will have a more obstructed view than others in this category. However, as you said, the cabin was 'free', so enjoy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacnaillady Posted February 18, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Oh no! I guess it's better than no balcony. I was hoping I'd be looking up over the top of the boat. Can you sit on the balcony and look at the back of the lifeboat? Or is going out not possible? Maybe I should have just upgraded to the ocean view! It's done now!

OP booked an obstructed Balcony, and yes, they can go out on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kstater Posted February 18, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) This is from 5166 which is right across the hall, so similar view. Edited February 18, 2014 by kstater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a picture of your view...go to cruise line rooms dot com (all one word, no spaces), choose Carnival, and then choose Pride (sister ship to Miracle). Scroll down the cabins listed to 5165 (next door to yours), click there and you will see a few pictures...one gives a pretty good idea of what you will be looking at. :) Edited February 18, 2014 by K&P Luv2Cruise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got one of the "free" cabins so beggars can't be choosers I just want to know what to expect. 5234 and 5227 are currently available for your cruise. We have been in 5236 and 5235 on Pride (Miracle's twin). The lifeboats are lower in that section, and it is fairly easy to see over them. I don't know if they are 2 person cabins, but since they are in your same category maybe you can call and switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacnaillady Posted February 18, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Did you get the free cruise? We got the free cruise with the upgrade. And 5165 was available last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Carnival site just showed those two cabins as open at 2:45 pm Eastern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be willing to share pictures from cabin 5235? We just booked that cabin on the Legend and I believe the layout is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
