eandj Posted August 13, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 13, 2015 They vary. Use the renmar site to give you an idea. Some are only obstructed looking down not straight out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom33 Posted August 13, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Mid ship on Emerald (deck 8) has no obstruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ar1950 Posted August 13, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) https://sites.google.com/site/cabinviewbyrenmar/ The OP was asking about obstructed cabins on the Regal Princess. Has anyone had a obstructed Balcony cabin on Deck 8 on the Regal?Just curious how obstructed and by what. That website appears to have no pictures of obstructed Regal cabins. The Regal cabins are obstructed by the life boats and tenders and the assorted rigging for lowering and raising the same. They are mostly obstructed to the top of the balcony railing by the top part of the boats. The last two boats to the aft are tenders and are somewhat taller (a little more of an obstruction) than the lifeboats.

Renmar Posted August 13, 2015 #10 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Colo Cruiser is correct, there is a link to the Royal/Regal Princess on my site although it is not nearly as complete as for the other ships. Unfortunately I'm not at my home computer right now otherwise I could post the link (I have no idea how to link from my tablet). I also did use some pictures that Dave posted when he did his excellent tread on the Royal and Regal. Also unfortunately Princess did, up until now, not offer me any insentive to book these 2 ships so I can take the pictures myself :-) :-) hence the pictures have to come from our fellow cruisers.

Pam in CA Posted August 13, 2015 #12 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) I had E703 on the Royal last September. Absolutely no obstruction in any direction except if you were looking directly towards the bow of the ship. You're not between lifeboats. No noise from the lounge below. Loved the cabin and location. Any of the E700 cabins would be the same. Edited August 13, 2015 by Pam in CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted August 15, 2015 #13 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I've been trying to view the obstructed balconies on the Royal/Regal, too, and the site is showing none when I click on the link. I tried accessing it from my bookmarks on my desktop and by clicking the link in this thread on my phone. Neither worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom33 Posted August 15, 2015 #14 Share Posted August 15, 2015 As stated in my earlier post, the mid ship cabins on deck 8 of the Regal have no obstruction. You can see pictures of my Regal balcony on deck 8 in my review below. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see that second link that comes up on the top of the page after you click on the Royal and Regal link on the first page. The second link was partially obscured by the small pop-up window.

Gracie115 Posted September 12, 2015 #16 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I had E703 on the Royal last September.

Any of the E700 cabins would be the same. My sister in law just received an upgrade from an inside to E626, a "partially obstructed balcony." Would this fall in that same category you mention about the E700 cabins? Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of the E700 cabins would be the same. We have booked E702 twice before and 3 of the next voyages on the Royal and Regal. This and 701 or 703 and offer virtually no obstruction other than directly forward and even then you are looking over a craft. The big advantage of these cabins rather than further aft, is that the category is lower price but with a very good view down, out and aft.

Steelers36 Posted September 12, 2015 #19 Share Posted September 12, 2015 What about E626.....what kind of obstruction? The idea was to go to Renmar's (Theo) Google site. Here is the exact page you need: https://sites.google.com/site/royalregalprincess/home/8-emerald And don't worry about seeing Royal pictures as the two ships are the same. Scroll down until you find E626. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wa Cruiser Posted September 12, 2015 #21 Share Posted September 12, 2015 well....thanks....I guess.....looks like E626 is COMPLETELY obstructed, not partially.....can anyone tell if you can see the water AT ALL from this balcony?:confused::rolleyes: Relax! Although E626 is one of more obstructed cabins - being behind a tender instead of a lifeboat, it is far from "completely" obstructed. The picture you saw was taken with a terminal building in the background, thus no blue water in view. Take a look the several pictures for E622. It is behind the same tender as E626. You will get similar views except for a little more obstruction from the tender lift mechanism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpeabody Posted September 12, 2015 #22 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I was in Regal E409 and LOVED IT! It is a deluxe balcony with a loveseat and a bit larger than typical Royal/Regal balcony. There really was no real obstruction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renmar Posted September 12, 2015 #25 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Thanks....just a bit disappointed as the person at Princess told me there was only a beam as obstruction.....looks like a lot more than a beam......oh well.... Most of the people you get on the phone with Princess don't have been on all the ships (neither have I ;)) and for that reason have no idea if the info they have is correct or not. (neither have I ;)) Your best bet for future cruises is go to these boards first before you book. As for your cabin E626, this one is NOT directly behind the tender. I double checked the picture and layout of the ship and the picture showing E626 should be E624. I will change the pictures soon. Thanks for asking about this cabin. If you click on this link https://85dfc850-a-62cb3a1a-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/royalregalprincess/home/8-emerald/Royal%20cabins%201b.jpg?attachauth=ANoY7cqliOhc2YEr3Iuys7_6IIVfbzSGl99gFtrtbfCR-w1llr7oPTuIe8KDc4oMSBQYK2kiV3ZGqC99XXj3rfpGluEAjDOciZioG41ylkG4ofRLWdipt8ABgByj3Sv5u9QVH2uF0akULvk9_Muj9Dxg2APeT5vA2uNU1qyFeS1d-ZOU58GjNl_JQfflE2Uzm0qetnx6PT8G8aEoVy9KX4V6by_exAODUIszTOTv9SmBboGL7At6a-08UhYYC1BBIkmNkOWKs0AT&attredirects=0 you will see that E627 (mirror image of E626) is NOT behind the tender. If you not happy with this cabin maybe there is still time to change to E628-E630 or E702 which are in the same category. Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
