Creator's Key Takeaways

If you do see this cabin it's cheaper because it's obstructed view I would not be afraid to get it cuz it it's it's really no obstruction at all.

As a sofa, it is hard as a rock. So, if you enjoy park benches, this is for you.

It's a little bit squeezy in here, but it'll work. You have one sink along with what I love from Royal.

It's a really wide balcony with two loungers. Now these loungers they're complicated in that they're not very useful.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a multi-USB plug because power solutions can be limited on Royal Caribbean.
Use magnetic hooks for storage since the cabinet walls are magnetic.
Use the mobile app to request extra pillows or sheets from your room steward.
Use the provided hooks in the bathroom rather than the over-the-door hangers due to the hinge design.

Is an obstructed view balcony on Royal Caribbean worth it? Join us for a full cabin tour of Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas in Room 8114, a port side forward balcony cabin near the very front of the ship. This cabin was listed as an obstructed view balcony, but it ended up being one of those cruise cabins we absolutely loved. In this Quantum of the Seas cabin tour, we walk through the room layout, bed area, storage space, cabin entry, bathroom, and balcony view so you can see what this cabin is really like before you book. One of the biggest surprises was the balcony. Because of the ship’s round structural frame, this specific obstructed balcony felt wider than expected and created a unique framed ocean view. Even better, the ship structure helped block the heavy wind, which made the balcony feel much more comfortable and usable while sailing. If you are planning a Royal Caribbean cruise, comparing Quantum of the Seas cabin options, or wondering if an obstructed balcony cabin is worth it, this review will help you decide if a forward cabin with an obstruction is right for your cruise style. This Royal Caribbean cabin tour is especially helpful for anyone cruising after 50 who wants to understand cabin location, balcony comfort, wind protection, walking distances, and how to find hidden gem cruise cabins. 👇 TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Quantum of the Seas Balcony Cabin Tour 8114 Overview 00:25 Cruise Cabin Living Area & Bed Layout 04:56 Cabin Entry 05:51 Bathroom Walkthrough 08:11 Obstructed View Balcony Review, Why We Loved It If you are planning a Quantum of the Seas cruise, booking a Royal Caribbean cruise, or comparing cruise cabin options, we hope this tour gives you a realistic look at what to expect.
