Creator's Key Takeaways

When booking an obstructed view balcony, it's important to actually check out the obstruction because they're not all created equal.

And this one was particularly bad, and I'll show you in a moment. But otherwise, this was a pretty good room.

I don't care. I'm on a cruise.

Now, this was a free casino offer, so I'm certainly not complaining, but it's just good to know for those of you paying full price.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check the specific obstruction when booking an obstructed view balcony.
Bring a non-surge extension cord due to lack of plugs.
Consider that older ships may have more spacious rooms.

Do you mind obstructed views when on a cruise? I'll take them over NO views, although I also don't mind interior staterooms. #cruiseaddict #cruisetips #cruiseadvice #cruisetravel #cruise #cruiselife
