Obstructed view from your cabin, is it really that bad??

One of the recurring problems on new Mega-ships is the quantity of Obstructed view cabins on board.
As cruise lines search for more profit  Cabins are being squeezed in - regardless of the quality of the view.

Don't Miss-understand me
there is nothing more than frustrating than paying good money for a excellent cabin & finding a cleaning gantry in front of you.


A superior cabin with a less than superior view!
What I'm looking at is the cost saving of having a "obstructed view" cabin
(being fully aware that it will be obstructed)
But when getting into your cabin finding that its not really that bad.

These are the cabins honestly labelled as obstructed view - the price is Great (as its obstructed)


Celebrity Solstice Class 2D (obstructed view balcony)


Cunard Queen Victoria CA Grade


Royal Caribbean Radiance Class E3 (obstructed view balcony)
I personally would take any of those views and not have a problem at all.
(I'd have a smile on my face for having saved £200 - £400 compared with the people with a "clear view")

PS, "clear view" can have an overhang - blocking sunlight from your balcony 
Look at the Royal Caribbean one above, the deck can be longer than your balcony & stick out up to 6foot !

Again it pays to do your research 
Ask a Professional & look on line

I'd really like to hear your opinion. 
Have you sailed obstructed, would you recommend it (or not) ?
let me know

Tar-ar for now 
the Cap'n
