Cruise -- Amazon, round trip from Fort Lauderdale, Pacific Princess March/April 2009
Cabin: 6086 -- BF obstructed view Balcony
The obstruction is a cut out from the hull, providing a sheltered area and an open one -- not a bad situation all in all, although we didn't spend a lot of time out there. Location of the cabin is well astern and there is vibration and engine noise when the ship is moving at or close to full speed. Otherwise, it was an acceptable cabin.
BF - obstructed view balcony - no real problem with the 'obstructed' part - it was a partially sheltered balcony, pretty much standard size for this class of ship (this is to say pretty small) The problem with this cabin was vibration and engine noise when the ship was at or near top speeds. Otherwise, fine.
