NCL Dawn April 8 2012, Cabin 8562

[PDXTraveler]

My wife & I are booked on the NCL Dawn on April 8 2012 Caribbean Cruise out of Miami (ten days).:) We have booked in cabin 8562 (category OX); the cabin is on the port-side of the cruise ship.

 

Has anyone stayed in either 8062 (starboard side) or 8562 (port side)? (Both cabins have a "picture window" with a partially-obstructed view near the smaller life-boat.) Is the view badly obstructed or partially obstructed? Looking at photos, it looks like the window may have a wall plus the life-boat obstructing the view. But how much of the ocean can one see?

 

We typically stay on the lower decks (deck 5 or 4) but the rate we got for this cabin on deck-8 was amazingly low for a ten day Caribbean cruise.

Want to add one more thing. Beside the view question, is there still the "noise" coming from workers near the cabin?

 

I know the Norwegian Dawn was remodeled and I am wondering if that helped the noises?

 

Thank you.
