Creator's Key Takeaways

She arrived in her cabin only to find a note that said that a mechanical apparatus had to be attached and moved to her balcony.

She went down to customer service and she says, 'Well, they basically said, 'Too bad, so sad.''

They offered her a $500 onboard credit. Okay. I don't know if the difference between an obstructed non-obstructed in a lot of cases is more than $500.

Once you accept the $500, that's kind of the cruise line saying, 'Well, we kind of considered the matter closed.'

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do not accept onboard credit immediately if your balcony view is obstructed; fight it out after the cruise.
Show proof of what an obstructed balcony would cost versus an unobstructed one to negotiate better compensation.
