oddball question: are ocean view windows generally always dirty and streaked?

[gatorclaw]

On my Destiny cruise I couldn't take any worthwhile photos of the scene outside my ocean view window because it was just grimmy, streaked, and just overall dirty.

 

Of course I could see out of it, but the question is- is this the norm because (big surprise) ocean water is constantly splattering the windows? Or does it depend heavily on the deck height of the cabin and/or when it was washed last?

 

Hey, gimmie a break, my cruise is in 14 days, I have run out of good questions.:)

My windows were always more dirty than I would have liked them to have been. Finally remedied that after 9 cruises, and have switched to balconies ever since.

When we sailed the Ecstacy (1993), but that changed halfway through the trip. It was a bit of a shock, actually. We were docked at Cozumel and our tour wasn't until after lunch. I came out of the bathroom into the cabin to fund a window washer hanging on the side of the ship, cleaning our window.

 

Good thing I was dressed!

Our windows have been dirty and full of streaks! We did have a surprise one morning in port when the window cleaner came dangling down. They try to keep them clean.....I think.

I can also say after 3 cruises never seen a clean window not streaked in an oceanview room....LOL

Yeah, I figured as much, but just curious. Thanks everyone!

YES and YES, if you don't have a balcony you might as well have an inside and save the money.
