themillennialcruiser Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 My husband and I are booked in an obstructed balcony on Anthem of the seas room 6590.

I think what is obstructed is the view below your balcony, the life boats will be below you on deck 5, so when at sea you would not be able to look directly down at the ocean. https://www.cruisedeckplans.com/DP/deckplans/youtube.php?id=3882, this is supposed to be 6598, you can actually see the obstruction on the video.

Bean79 Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Depends on if you like staring at a tender boat instead of the ocean. It would have to be pretty cheap for me to book and obstructed balcony. tiny260 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeves Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Also, consider how much time you'll spend out on the balcony. If you just want the balcony for light and air, then obstructions are fine. And if you want an occasional look at the water or the stopovers, there are plenty of other places for getting a nice view. But if you're the type who likes to sit out on your private balcony, with a glass in your hand and a book in your lap, soaking up the sun and the breeze and the view, then maybe you should get a different room. (Personally, I ended up spending far less time out there than I had expected. Caribbean air in July is far too humid for this northeasterner.)

themillennialcruiser Posted June 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 When we booked the price was the same for an inside/or obstructed balcony so we wen't obstructed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacation Crazy Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 We are on Deck 7 in a obstructed ocean view balcony for our upcoming Ovation cruise. We found pictures of our room online before booking. Our balcony has a small section of the davit in the corner view. Plus we are on the hump so it is a bigger balcony. It was over $1,000 cheaper than the regular balconies. I'll happily look at the davit and keep the $1,000 in our bank account any day! There are lots of pictures and videos online to help you make a decision. Good luck! Mrs. RoyalMoyal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
