robin13 Posted January 27, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2019 So I just saw a video of my cabin 8145 on The Epic and saw that the life boats are attached to the side of the ship which in turn causes an obstructed view. I had just changed my cabin from deck 10 all the way forward as that balcony was enclosed and I didn't want to be so forward and high up due to motion. I like the location of this cabin as it is mi-ship near the elevators but when I saw the video I had no idea that there were lifeboats in the way. Can anyone tell me that has been in one of these cabins if I can still see the ocean looking out sitting in a chair? I will be using my balcony a lot as I love to have my coffee in the morning out there and then a glass of wine later in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare EllieinNJ Posted January 27, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 27, 2019 You can still see the water but deck 8 is totally open so if it rains there is no protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare fabnfortysomething Posted January 27, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 27, 2019 actually some balconies on deck 8 and 9 are open to sky above and others have a ceiling It depends on the outside structure somewhere on this forum is a listing / photos of which cabins are open in this way whatever you will be able to look at the ocean when sitting in the chair but view downwards will be obstructed unless you are directly above one of breaks between lifeboats whereby you will get a partial view of sea directly below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very rarely look down so that is not a big concern. My concern is sitting in the chair and looking out to see the ocean. So as long as I can do that then I will be fine. It is also covered as he showed the ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seacreature101 Posted January 30, 2019 #5 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Look at cabins near 8209. Port or starboard. I like to look down and see as much ocean as I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
