The Truth About Obstructed View Cabins – (Photo Examples & How to Find One)
If you’re considering booking a cruise, you might be looking for a way to reduce the cost of your cabin without reducing the cabin category grade.
On most cruise ships, there are some cabins that you can book for a reduced price, but the cruise lines rarely advertise them. These are called “Obstructed View” cabins.
What is an Obstructed View Cabin?
As the name suggests, an obstructed view cabin is a cabin where an item is obstructing the view from either the window or the balcony.
Obstructions can vary from a very slight obstruction down in one corner – to a lifeboat hanging in front of your cabin, obscuring the view completely!
Common obstructions include lifeboats, machinery, and pieces of other decks.
A lot of people run and hide when they hear the phrase “Obstructed View.” If you’re one of those people – I don’t blame you, but it can be a brilliant way to save a lot of money and is well worth considering .
When I recently sailed from Singapore to Tokyo onboard the Spectrum of the Seas, I chose an obstructed view balcony cabin.
This was because I wanted to be able to see the wonderful views and the interesting ports from my cabin – but the trip was so expensive, I was looking to save some money if possible.
This obstructed-view balcony cabin seemed the perfect compromise. I still had the views – but at a reduced price. (I did have to stand up to see the views though – but that isn’t a problem for me.)
What Are The Benefits of Booking an Obstructed View Cabin?
Obstructed view cabins can be hundreds or even thousands of dollars cheaper than similar cabins without an obstruction.
Obstructed view cabins often have good locations and booking an obstructed view cabin means that you could possibly afford a cabin grade that you wouldn’t be able to have otherwise.
If you’re somebody who’s used to cruising staying in inside cabins, having an obstructed view ocean view or a balcony can be a real treat.
If The Obstruction Is A Lifeboat, You May Have Days When It Isn’t There!
When I took my latest Asia cruise, the lifeboat outside my room was taken down and used as a Tender Boat when we visited some ports.
On those days, I had a much better view, only the davits (Lifeboat brackets) were left in view.
What Could Be Obstructing an Obstructed View Cabin?
Common obstructions for obstructed-view cabins include lifeboats, machinery, other decks, and even on occasion, things such as crew walkways or whirlpools.
The obstruction may not be directly in front of the window or balcony.
- Promenade Deck/Walkway
- Whirlpools/Waterslides
- A Deck below or above
Having something small such as a crew walkway between the window and the edge of the ship is enough of an obstruction that that cabin usually will not be sold at full price and will be marked as “obstructed.”
Many thanks to Xavier for the pictures above of his obstructed view cabin. He sailed with NCL and was upgraded from an inside cabin to an obstructed ocean view.
Why do Cruise Lines Sell Cabins That Aren’t Very Obstructed as ‘Obstructed View’?
There are obstructed view cabins on most cruise ships and cruise lines tend to be very careful when it comes to selling obstructed views.
The Cruise Line would rather sell a cabin as an “obstructed view” than sell it as a standard cabin and risk the passenger making a complaint about the lack of a view.
They don’t want to have to deal with that problem!
Cruise lines definitely err on the side of caution, and they call lots of things “obstructed” when really I don’t think they are.
There are some cabins onboard P&O’s newest ships Iona and Arvia are separated from the ocean by a promenade deck.
These aren’t classed as “Obstructed View” and are charged at full price. There could be hot tubs, sunbeds – and lots and lots of people between you and your view of the ocean!
Find out what I liked, and what I didn’t like about that cabin in the video below:
What Type of Obstructed View Cabins Are Available?
Obstructed ocean views.
When it comes to obstructed cabins, the cheapest cabin you can get is an obstructed ocean view, and these are usually the same price as an inside cabin.
If you’re used to cruising in an inside cabin, you’ll know when you wake up, it’s pitch black. You don’t know if it’s 3:00 AM or 3:00 PM – whether the sun is shining or if it’s pouring with rain!
If you’re able to get an obstructed ocean view, you at least have some daylight.
Even if you have a full lifeboat that covers the entire window, you won’t have to worry about waking up in the dark.
If the cabin is at the same price as an inside cabin – or even a little bit more, I would definitely pay extra just for the daylight.
If you do have an inside cabin, my favourite cabin hack is to pack a Sunrise Alarm Clock.
Unlike a conventional alarm clock, a sunrise clock slowly wakes you by lighting up the room gently. You can have optional sounds – like birds tweeting – it’s a far more relaxing way to wake up.

Sunrise Alarm Clocks – The BEST Inside Cabin Hack
Obstructed Balcony
Obstructed balcony cabins are a great option for people who usually stay in inside cabins or ocean-view cabins.
Even if your balcony is completely obstructed, being able to get some fresh air/daylight is really nice.
I personally wouldn’t pay much more than an ocean view price for an obstructed view balcony – but it can be worth it in some circumstances.
Obstructed View Cabin Examples
The amount of obstruction within an ocean view or a balcony cabin can vary dramatically.
If you have a look here at the MSC Preziosa, you can see this deck where the windows are behind the lifeboats.
The windows on the top level look out over the lifeboats but are still considered obstructed because compared to standard ocean views, the view is limited.
The below cabin is an example of an obstructed view oceanview, where the view really isn’t very obstructed at all.
The problem with the cabin below is that guests are able to walk in this area, so may be able to see into your cabin.
That said, if a cabin like this is available for the price of an inside cabin, I think you’d be mad not to take it. ..
Some obstructed-view cabins really are obstructed – such as the one above. In this situation, the cabin window is being used just to get some daylight, you can’t see any outside view at all.
Obstructed View Cabins Often Have Good Locations
Another benefit above and beyond just the cost-saving aspect of getting an obstructed view cabin, the obstructed view cabins often have good locations.
Many are right behind the lifeboats, so a lot of them are right in the middle of the ship.
Some people care more about the location than they do the view from the balcony.
If you’re somebody who likes to be in the middle of the ship for seasickness reasons, getting an obstructed view in the middle can be a really good way to get that location that you want, but without paying the premium price.

How Do You Find an Obstructed View Cabin?
It can be tricky to find the right obstructed view cabin. The more research you do into the cabins, the better experience you’re going to have.
If you’re booking through an agent, let them know that you are open to obstructed-view cabins.
Then they can have a look at the deck plans and you can chat about how obstructed you would like the cabin to be.
That is exactly what I did when I booked my Obstructed Balcony cabin. To find out what I thought of the cabin I was assigned below:
If you’re somebody who really is into researching your cruises, look at deck plans. You can find out how obstructed each cabin is and find out which ones you’d be happy with.
If you’re booking directly through the cruise line or through travel agents, you can see deck plans where you can see which cabins are obstructed view.
Once you have a cabin in mind, it’s usually a good idea to do a quick web search of the cabin. For a lot of cabins, you’ll find photos from other cruisers.
A friend of mine saved almost $1,000 by switching from a regular balcony to an obstructed view balcony. Her balcony wasn’t one of those where you couldn’t see anything, there was just a deck that stuck out BELOW her cabin!
Can a Cruise Line Assign You an Obstructed View Cabin Without You Booking One?
No. It’s important to note that the only way that you’re going to get an obstructed view cabin, is if you book one.
The cruise line can’t assign you an obstructed view cabin if you booked a regular cabin.
Unless you’ve specifically said you would be happy with an obstructed-view cabin, you’re not going to get assigned one.

Obstructed View Cruise Cabins – What to Know
Tips for booking obstructed view cabins on your next cruise.
Savvy cruise shoppers have always known what a great value an obstructed view cabin can be. But for newer cruisers who aren’t familiar with the good and the bad of an obstructed-view cruise cabin option, we’re here to let you know what to look for and what to expect!
what IS an obstructed view cruise cabin / stateroom?
Any objects that may even MINIMALLY alter a fully open view from a porthole window or balcony will be considered obstructed. The object may be as simple as a piece of window washing equipment barely in sight or as extreme as a fully obstructed view by a lifeboat. Researching the specific cabin is key to getting the best bang for your obstructed buck!
In short, what is considered an obstructed view can vary tremendously, but USUALLY isn’t a fully blocked view. For example, the most common reason a cabin is considered an obstructed view cabin is being able to see the roof of a lifeboat when standing at the edge of a balcony. So it’s not really blocking a view out, but the lifeboat blocks a few DOWN to the ocean. If you’re sitting on the balcony, you’ll likely never be bothered by it.
The good about obstructed view cabins & Staterooms
The most popular reason people choose obstructed-view cabins is the discounted price. This is one of our favorite tips for saving money when booking a cruise! Sometimes you can book a balcony obstructed view stateroom for the price of a regular inside stateroom or ocean view stateroom. For people on a budget who want outdoor space, this is a great option!
The other great thing about these cabins is they’re often not fully obstructed. The cruise lines will offer discounted partial obstructed view cabins that have almost no obstructions, but they know they have to discount these and disclose even a minimal obstruction to avoid complaints.
One perk of the obstructed view cabins is they are often in the best locations on a ship. Because most of the obstructions come from lifeboats, the cabins are usually in a central area of the ship, one of the most desirable locations.
The bad about obstructed view cabins
Sometimes these staterooms can, in fact, be FULLY obstructed by equipment or lifeboats. Additionally, the discounts may not be enough to make the obstruction worth it.
For example, this ocean-view cabin has a window that is fully blocked by a lifeboat. While you might get some natural light anyway, the question would be how good of a value is this versus an inside cabin:
Cruise lines have been less willing to discount some rooms as ships sail at a fuller capacity. So discounting isn’t as aggressive as it once was for these cabin types.
Is an obstructed view cruise cabin worth it?
Oftentimes, yes! Especially balcony cabins that can be hundreds or even thousands less expensive than a similar cabin without an obstruction.
It’s important to check the location of the cabin you are considering booking. Usually, a travel agent will have the best information, but you can research on your own by going to Cruise Deck Plans and looking at the specific stateroom.
Photos of obstructed view cabins on a cruise ship
Here are some great pics of what to expect when booking an obstructed-view cruise cabin:
When to avoid an obstructed view stateroom
In general, we advise avoiding obstructed cabins when you cannot specifically choose the stateroom . So when you book a cruise with an obstructed view and the option is (GTY), meaning, “guarantee” – that means the cruise line will assign the cabin and you have no ability to research just how obstructed a specific cabin is.
Additionally, obstructed-view ocean-view cabins are generally not worth the small discount. There is such a limited amount of view and light that comes into an oceanview stateroom that saving a few dollars on one of these already (relatively) inexpensive cabins isn’t worth the obstruction. In this case, be safe and go with an ocean-view stateroom without anything blocking the view!

What Is An Obstructed View Cabin? (What You Need to Know)

When planning your next cruise, you might come across the term “obstructed view cabin.”
But what exactly is an obstructed view cabin, and is it a good option for your cruise vacation?
In this article, we will explore what it means to have an obstructed-view cabin and discuss the potential benefits and drawbacks of choosing one.
Table of Contents
What is an Obstructed View Cabin?
An obstructed view cabin is a cabin that has an object partially blocking the view from the window or balcony. Obstructed view cabins are often found in an ocean view or balcony cabin categories and can have different levels of obstruction.
These obstructions can vary from very slight inconveniences to completely blocked views.
Common obstructions include lifeboats, machinery, waterslides, crew walkways, and pieces of other decks.
Despite this, obstructed-view cabins still receive natural light and can offer great value for budget-conscious travelers.
Types of Obstructed View Staterooms
Fully Obstructed
When booking a cabin on a cruise ship, you might come across the term “fully obstructed.” A fully obstructed view cabin means that a large obstruction, such as a lifeboat or machinery, entirely blocks the view from your window or balcony.
While you won’t have a clear ocean view, natural light can still enter the cabin. Remember that fully obstructed cabins are lower priced than unobstructed ones, making them a more budget-friendly option if the view is not your priority.
Partially Obstructed
In some cases, obstructed view cabins are only partially obstructed. A partially obstructed stateroom means that while there is an obstruction in front of the window or balcony, it doesn’t entirely block your view of the surroundings.
For example, you might have a lifeboat hanging partially in front of your window, but you can still see the ocean and the sky. Partially obstructed cabins might be priced slightly higher than fully obstructed ones but are still more affordable than cabins with no obstructions.
If you can find photos of the cabin online, you may find that the partial obstruction doesn’t impact your view.
Many cruise lines mark cabins as partially obstructed if there’s a slight chance that a customer will complain about a piece of equipment in view.
They don’t want to risk customer complaints or deal with the hassle of refunds. If you’re lucky to find one of these cabins, you can snag a significant discount on your cruise and enjoy a near-complete view.
When deciding whether to book an obstructed view cabin, consider your priorities and budget.
Remember that the level of obstruction can vary from one cabin to another. It’s worth checking the ship’s deck plans and consulting with a cruise specialist to find a stateroom that meets your preferences.
Common Obstructions
When booking a cruise , you may come across cabins labeled as having an obstructed view. These cabins typically have a lower price point due to having a limited or partially blocked view.
This section explores the common types of obstructions you might encounter.
Lifeboats and Tenders
Lifeboats and tenders are among the most common obstructions to ocean views and balcony cabins. Lifeboats are positioned along the ship’s side and can sometimes block a portion of your view.
Depending on the position of your cabin, you might find a lifeboat:
- Directly in front of your window or balcony
- Above or below your cabin
Promenade Deck Structures
There are other types of obstructions on the promenade deck. Obrstuctions might include:
- Crew walkways
- Whirlpools or waterslides
In some cases, these obstructions might not be directly in front of your cabin window or balcony but could still affect your view.
For example, a crew walkway below your balcony might be alright. But it will still be marked as an obstruction and sold at a discounted price.
Benefits of an Obstructed View Balcony
If you want to enjoy the advantages of a balcony cabin without breaking the bank, an obstructed-view balcony can be a perfect choice.
You’ll still have access to fresh air and natural light, as obstructions are often things like lifeboats, machinery, or other decks rather than solid walls. An obstructed ocean view is not ideal, but it might be worth the upgrade from an inside cabin.
Fully obstructed or partially obstructed staterooms have lower prices than full-view cabins.
You can save hundreds or thousands of dollars by booking a cabin with an obstructed view.
You can savor the perks of a balcony and ocean-view cabins at a lower cost. Booking obstructed view cabins are a great way to save money on your cruise.
Another advantage is that obstructed-view cabins are often located in less crowded areas of the ship. While this may vary between ships and cruise lines, it can be a bonus if you prefer a more tranquil setting for your accommodation.
The areas near obstructed-view cabins have fewer neighbors or foot traffic, making overall a quieter stay.
Additionally, if the obstruction is a lifeboat, there’s a good chance the cabin is in the middle of the ship. The vessel’s center is one of the best cabin locations, especially if you want to avoid seasickness on your cruise.
Remember that even if your stateroom has an obstructed view, you can still access various amenities with your cabin, like a private balcony, sitting area, and other features.
How Do You Know if Your Stateroom Has an Obstructed View?
To determine whether your stateroom has an obstructed view, you can start by checking the deck plans of your cruise ship.
Cruise ship deck plans typically indicate if a stateroom has an obstructed view, partial or full. You can find the deck plans on the cruise line’s website or by contacting their support team.
Obstructed view cabins are often cheaper than similar cabins with unobstructed views. So, if you notice your cabin is priced lower than neighboring cabins, it might be because of an obstructed view.
However, don’t rely solely on the price to determine this – always check the deck plans or consult with the cruise line for accurate information.
Remember, if having an unobstructed view is crucial for your cruise experience, it’s worth investing in a stateroom with a clear view.
But if you’re okay with taking a chance on a partially obstructed view, you may benefit from the savings on your booking. To make an informed decision, always consult the deck plans, and don’t hesitate to contact the cruise line for more details.

Obstructed Oceanview Cabins...
By NavyCruiser , July 6, 2022 in Princess Cruises
Recommended Posts

We have the opportunity to upgrade our group booking of 10 cabins from inside to Obstructed Oceanview cabins for only $50/person more for the 7 nights, for midship location on Deck 8, right above the shops on Deck 7.
Still a good deal, to get some sunshine, even though it's obstructed oceanview?
BTW, regular oceanviews are even $400 more pp, almost as much as balcony...

I would do it. But, I do not like insides.

I presumed these are either the Grand Class or Caribbean Class ships, even the Coral Class. These are probably the best value cabins on these ships. They have the same size cabins as the regular oceanviews, but larger than the insides. I always felt that the insides were a tad too small for my comfort.
55 minutes ago, PacnGoNow said: What ship?
Ruby Princess, coming back to Galveston this winter.
We booked all 10 cabins with the $1 deposit promo, right before midnight expiration...
1 hour ago, NavyCruiser said: Still a good deal, to get some sunshine, even though it's obstructed oceanview?
Sunshine is nice, but just one reason to go the OV cabins. An OV cabin avoids being next to those white spaces on the deck plans. Meaning next to a crew passageway, a janitorial supplies closet or that corridor that runs behind the inside cabins. Work goes on at night hours and the cleaning crew is up early too.
Look up the Ruby's obstructed view cabin views in the free section on cruisedeckplans.com

Is that $50 total per person or $50/person/night?
If it's $50 total, that's a blazing hot deal...grab it!
Depending on the ship of course, but, some ocean view obstructed cabins have the windows between the life boats so you can get a good view. Have to look at deck plans.

Look at aft deck 8, cabins e630,e631,e632,e633,e701,e702,e703,e704.
they are all labeled and priced at interior/obstructed ocean views but there is no obstruction. You’re in between the life boats.
I picked e633 on crown (same layout as ruby) and it was an ocean view at an interior/obs ov price.
https://www.cruisedeckplans.com/DP/deckplans/cruiseline.php?line=Princess
That’s a great deal. I would take it in a heartbeat

Wee would do it. Obstructed Oceanview became our go to cabin category for cruising on a budget but with some natural light. It also makes it quick and easy to check the weather and to see if you are docked, close or not close to being docked. frequently we found that Obstructed view cabins were only $100 per person or so more than inside while being far less than full Oceanview and possibly half the price of a balcony cabin.
We had more or less avaoided the 6 new Royal Class ships as they don’t have Oceanview cabins at all but just did our first cruise on one in May.
We've sailed in the OV cabins at least 10x on most Princess Grand class ships, I've become quite expert at choosing between lifeboats, but we've taken truly obstructed rooms on some occasions, the value proposition was just too good to ignore. As I told DW, I'd rather sail twice with an OV than once with a balcony (that she won't use, even for a minute).
On the other hand, it has to be said that the "obstruction" in question is generally a lifeboat and that these become shore tenders in most ports where the ship has to anchor. That means raising and lowering the boats, often very early and occasionally quite late, there's little doubt you'll hear some amount of noise both in the preparation and raising / lowering process - if this will bother you I'd steer clear.
With that caveat I'd reiterated, I'd take that upgrade.
Thanks for all the awesome advice above.
We looked at closer views the pics & cabin locations & looks like most of our 10 cabins are in between lifeboats, & for $50 per person ($100 for 2) for the entire 7 nights cruise over an inside, it's a no-brainer...

You'll be happy with that choice. What a great price. We were just in those cabins on the Ruby up in Alaska. The location is so convenient to everything and not as noisy as some would suggest. We chose the starboard side, as it is not above Crooners.
Plenty of day light and we headed down one deck to sit out on the promenade. As much as my DH loves when I book a balcony cabin for us, he survives quite well in these rooms.
Adventures ahead
Maybe you found cruisedeckplans dot com for an even much closer look.
We're Elite and had a balcony only twice. Started out with inside cabins and found obstructed oceanview a good fit for us for many, many years. Not having cruised since early 2020, next cruise... mini-suite! (Well, it was on sale! : )
My mom loved her obstructed ocean view on the Ruby earlier this year. It was convenient for her to get to dinner and no noise from the shops below.
Another thing is that the number of times we received free upgrades FROM an obstructed Oceanview cabin was remarkable! This is because there are less of this category cabin than most other categories. This pretty much came to an end for us around 2015/16 when they started selling upgrades. Sometimes we would see them using this category to fill cabins on ships by instantly assigning a higher category cabin the moment you booked one so that the price point remained available for those that searched it out to meet their price requirement.

An ocean view cabin, often called an outside cabin, is a room with a window that looks out to sea.

Obstructed view cabins therefore claim the title of 'obstructed' most often because of the lifeboat positions.
