Obstructed balcony cabins ?

What do they mean when they mention that the BALCONY CABINS (Sailaway?) have obscured view

Is there, for instance a life boat hanging there that obstructs, or what?

I imagine that you can still sit there and still see past whatever it is?

Sail away fares you get assigned left over cabins that no one wants or would pay for. You may get lucky with someone being upgraded or cancelling. You may get unlucky and be looking around a lifeboat. But, you get a cheap fare.

I've booked guarantee and sailaway balconies several times and never had a obstructed view. Once, my sister's cabin was right underneath the nightclub so can be somewhat noisy. I also had a cabin once underneath the buffet area so also a little noisy during clean up time. Most times, I am quite happy with the location choice especially when the price savings is significant.

Check online to see if your ship has any balcony with obstructed views.

I recently changed from an inside to a "sailaway" balcony on the Epic. Was assigned the next day to a cabin on deck 8, just above the lifeboats. Understand that you can look out at the sea but cannot look down.
