helen haywood Posted December 26, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I've only sailed Edge once and we were on the hump on Deck 8 in an E1 cabin. What is the "obstruction" really like on Deck 6 in an E3 cabin? I know it is over the lifeboats...but if I am not standing up looking out of the window, how much does the lifeboat deck obscure your view? I'm familiar with the obstructed cabins on S Class but this is a different kettle of fish.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl94 Posted December 27, 2019 #2 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Surely an Infinity View stateroom must be exactly that - something that is boundless or endless. If obstructed then not infinity view so that would be false advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrothead33 Posted December 27, 2019 #3 Share Posted December 27, 2019 We were in 6234. This was our view. We got lucky, some cabins have the davits which are a much larger obstruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danalea1980 Posted December 27, 2019 #4 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Anyone have any pictures of 6257? Said it has a 10% obstruction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kearney Posted December 27, 2019 #5 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I think the photo above for 6234 should be similar to 6257. You see the top of a lifeboat or tender. The tenders are a bit taller so might impact view some. The complaint for some, early on, before these cabins were listed as obstructed.... was that if you sat on the veranada and looked below the rail..it impacted the view. However, I personally have not issue with these 10% obstructed cabins. Now I believe the cabin next to 6257... 6255... is listed as 50% obstructed. That likely has a lifeboat davit, the structure that secures the lifeboat... that sits taller and is not attractive. But again, it does not rise above the railing. The only problem is that these obstructions impact your photos of the cabin... more than the view. So if you really don't mind having to stand at the rail to have an unobstructed view... these cabins are less expensive. Now the obstructed cabins that would bother me are the ones next to the MC.... this part of the ship sticks out some 12 feet or so... so your view to the right or left is much more restricted than a lifeboat roof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kearney Posted December 27, 2019 #6 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I am attaching link to the cabin reviews. For person wondering about 6257... look at the photos for 8299. There is one that looks towards the bow.... there you can see the first set of lifeboats... The davit shown would be the one impacting 6255 and the white structure next to it... is likely why 6257 is considered 10% obstructed. I am comparing deck plan for 6 vs 5... but I think I am correct. If you scroll down to 6243... you will see what how the davit can impact the view ... below the railing of a deck 6 cabin. scroll down to 8299 and 6243 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
