olya1972 Posted March 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 5, 2023 We were assigned cabin 4157- an obstructed balcony room on Rotterdam. On deck plans it appears that this room is located in between two life boats. Does anyone have the photos of the balcony of this ( or similarly situated ) cabins? I found some photos and videos of obstructed balconies on Rotterdam, but none that are located between two life boats. Thank You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olya1972 Posted March 5, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I did all of that and I did not find what I was looking for. This cabin is towards the aft. The boats there obstructing the view appear to be not regular life boats, but something else- there are fewer of them then in midship section and they are larger.

CruzR887 Posted March 5, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Just off the Rotterdam in January in an obstructed view. Generally a room between lifeboats will have a view of the structure that lowers the boats. These are higher than the lifeboats. Looking across a lifeboat is a somewhat less obstructed view. We don’t mind the obstructed view cabins at all and opt for them if we can’t get an aft view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer to be right across lifeboat from the videos and photos I have seen. The cruise seems to be sold out, so I don’t think I will be able to change the room location or buy an upgrade. Will try calling HAL inventory and Club Orange tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKJonesy Posted March 6, 2023 #6 Share Posted March 6, 2023 These ships seems to be selling out recently so you might not be able to change rooms. I've been on RD in obstructed and this time I will have one of the rooms between the lifeboats. But, I am not bothered by this. Most of the time I'm in my balcony relaxing, enjoying the sun or reading a book. I can always pop down onto the promenade or up to that wonderful walking area on the top deck if I want to get a real good look at something. I think you will really enjoy your stateroom. Have fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtraut59 Posted April 7, 2023 #8 Share Posted April 7, 2023 We are in 4145 and have no problem with it. You can't see directly into water but your view is still there and most importantly better price and AIR. This will not stop you from enjoying your balcony. Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare albingirl Posted April 19, 2023 #10 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Hope you have a great cruise. I'm pretty sure obstructed would be ok for me. Never done it but it would be a good place to read and escape the noise by the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
