Princess Ruby Princess Obstructed Oceanview Cabin: Is it Worth It?
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
For me, the pros definitely outweighed the cons. You get some natural light, quiet location, and a lower price than a full oceanview.
I'd absolutely consider booking this category again, especially for solo travel.
The only downside is that you won't see much unless you walk right up to the window.
You can hear the band and you can recognize the tunes, but it's not a big problem.
