prideofpride Posted July 1, 2006 #1 Share Posted July 1, 2006 We are on the Pride and have cabins 5181 and 5183. I was told these aren't "true balconies" HUH? What does that mean? One Carn rep said it wouldn't have a view like a true balcony. Another said that the lifeboats are actually lowered and you still can see plenty. Anyone know? I had to talk my husband into this cruise and I don't want to start off with him having different expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4 Posted July 1, 2006 #2 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Hang onto those cabins. We were in a 7A obstructed balcony on the Miracle last week and loved it. The Pride and Miracle have the same design. The first 3 lifeboats on each side are taller and obstruct your view more than the others. You're farther back than those 3 so you'll have the shorter lifeboats. You can still see out wonderfully, but if you look down, there is the lifeboat. I took hundreds of beautiful sunrise and sunset photos from our balcony. I just had to use the zoom a little so I didn't get the lifeboat and the rope above it in the picture. Sometimes they'll be doing maintenance on the lifeboat, so be ready for that.

KroozFoolz Posted July 1, 2006 #3 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Here is the link to an earlier thread concerning obstructed balconies on Spirit class ships, which would include Pride. There are some links to some pictures. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=351438&highlight=Spirit+obstructed+balcony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
