oatbagg1 Posted November 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I just saw a review of this stateroom that says it should be sold as an obstructed view, as the bridge and spotlight blocks the view. Has anyone else been in this room that could tell me if this is indeed true? This was an upgrade for us, but I'm not wanting an obstructed view. The HAL phone operator says it's not.....but I wonder. Worried in the midwest:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted November 29, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) I guess if you wanted to see something above you it would be obstructed, but how often do you do that? Edited November 29, 2016 by jtl513 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oatbagg1 Posted November 30, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted November 30, 2016 so we are directly below the bridge. no sun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oatbagg1 Posted November 30, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted November 30, 2016 We booked a guarantee VE balcony cabin and were given cabin 7005. This cabin is below the bridge and the view is obstructed by the bridge and equipment hanging down such as the search light. It should be sold as an obstructed view balcony cabin not as a VE cabin. The same issue must also affect cabin 7006 on the other side of the ship. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted November 30, 2016 #5 Share Posted November 30, 2016 no sun? Not much, probably ... which for us would be a big plus. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUU Posted November 30, 2016 #6 Share Posted November 30, 2016 As pointed out in the other thread, the view from that cabin is not obstructed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lady Arwen Posted November 30, 2016 #7 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Did you not address this in a different post yesterday? Oh, well. You are only blocked by the sun overhead. It is not an obstructed view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted November 30, 2016 #8 Share Posted November 30, 2016 HAL bases their "obstructed" rating on what you see straight out, not down, up, left, or right. The spotlight might give this a "partially obstructed" rating at most IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwaysfrantic Posted November 30, 2016 #9 Share Posted November 30, 2016 When you book a guarantee cabin you are told it could be ANY cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyDenise Posted December 1, 2016 #10 Share Posted December 1, 2016 That's why I could never book guarantees.. ...not because of the overhang, that wouldn't bother me..but I am one of the few that HATE aft rooms ( including suites with wrap around balconies ) due to the occasional motion I feel. I'd have to assume it would be worse up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted December 1, 2016 #11 Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) ... due to the occasional motion I feel. I'd have to assume it would be worse up front. Yes, high and far forward is the worst place for motion.. Edited December 1, 2016 by jtl513 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oatbagg1 Posted December 15, 2016 Author #12 Share Posted December 15, 2016 well as I was the passenger onboard that cabin I will post my 'unobstructed 'photos as soon as i figure out how. In the meantime, if you think it would be so much fun --go book this room for yourself.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyDenise Posted December 15, 2016 #13 Share Posted December 15, 2016 To far forward for me .. plus for fun I'd book a midship suite. [emoji2] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To post just a small picture, click on the Manage Attachments button in the Additional Options section below Submit Reply. That will upload it to CC and put a thumbnail in your post. Clicking on the thumbnail gives a somewhat larger pic. You will probably have to re-size it first to make it less than 98 Kb. They say it also must be less than 620x280 pixels, but the one below is 640x480. Like this: Edited December 16, 2016 by jtl513 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oaktreerb Posted December 16, 2016 #17 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Does HAL have any verandas that they classify as obstructed or partially obstructed? Maybe 7005 should be. I can see that there could be an issue here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oatbagg1 Posted December 16, 2016 Author #18 Share Posted December 16, 2016 i made our verandah view my CC profile picture but it only shows up under my profile, otherwise i get a yellow star as my avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
