I don't have any experience being bumped from a HC cabin...

However, after having sailed in a HC cabin cruise before last, i can honestly say I will NEVER book a HC cabin again. Ugh, it was the worst. Furniture modified down to make room for a wheelchair we didn't have. (totally missed the couch and normal sized table). And worse yet was having to mop down the entire bathroom after every shower.

Just my 0.02

Best waiter of 7 cruises... Andriy (from Ukraine) on Splendor. (he was the ass't waiter). The most fun, personable, adorable, good dancer!, attentive waiter we have ever had.

We had obstructed view balcony 5150 on Pride and it wasn't bad. Lucky for us, we were between the lifeboats. However, I distinctly remember thinking "man, sure am glad I don't have either of my neighbor's rooms!!"

It was our 1st balcony, so it was a novelty for us and we took full advantage of it!! ;) However, if/when we every go someplace like Alaska, where the "View" is really important, I would NOT select an obstructed view.

We booked this trip 7 days before it sailed and our only options were (1) obstructed view balcony or (2) inside cabins. We will NEVER have an inside cabin so this was the obvious choice. And the obstructed view cabins definintely have some great rates!!!
