Creator's Key Takeaways

You have found exactly what experienced cruisers deliberately avoid and what the cruise line is hoping you do not understand until you are already on board

The pricing reflects the experience. You are getting a cheaper cabin because the cabin is worth less, not because you have found a bargain.

The word obstructed is doing enormous work in that description. What passengers read as partially obstructed is frequently almost entirely obstructed by a large piece of emergency equipment.

The movement in a forward high- deck cabin in rough conditions is not just uncomfortable. It is physically extreme.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Aim for midship cabins on decks 4 through 8 for minimum movement and noise.
Avoid cabins directly below the pool deck, adjacent to nightclubs, or near elevator banks.
Check deck plans specifically for lifeboat obstructions in 'obstructed view' cabins.
Avoid forward high-deck cabins if you are susceptible to motion sickness.
