suzyed Posted August 16, 2020 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Does anyone know why the Obstructed View cabins website is gone? That was a very valuable tool. If it is not restored or replaced, I most likely will not book another obstructed view cabin since I won't be able to discern "how" obstructed it is!

Find the ship you're interested in, and there's a link to obstructed view. It seems to me that there's been a gradual move from the obstructed website into Cruise Deck Plans over the last few years. Links from there used to go to the obstructed site, but now it seems they're integrated into Cruse Deck Plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copied this from another thread and it worked for me when I checked out the Coral Princess.

Thrak Posted August 16, 2020 #6 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) I "think" Renmar had a direct link on his old page (before it was taken down) that went directly to his photos on cruisedeckplans.com. Just go to the site and select a ship and then click on Obst-View. Edited August 16, 2020 by Thrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renmar Posted August 16, 2020 #9 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Sorry for all the confusion. I posted the following on the original tread; As mentioned earlier I decided to transfer my website to cruisedeckplan dot com for personal reasons. I like to thank all the people who so generously donated pictures to my website. Also a big thank you for all the encouragement I received over the years from members of Cruise Critic. A special thanks to the owner(s) of cruisedeckplans who are trying to keep the obstructed view pages for the Princess ships free of charge. Again, thanks for the good times I had doing this.

Thrak Posted August 28, 2020 #17 Share Posted August 28, 2020 We all owe Theo and Anke a huge debt of gratitude for hosting the obstructed view site for so long. I'm sure various folks contributed pics but these two put in a lot of time with Princess staff getting many of the photos themselves. It was a not-for-profit venture that benefited a large number of folks who were able to see, in advance, what the obstruction - or in some cases the lack of obstruction - was when trying to book a cabin. It's not possible to calculate how many people were benefited by the site and the information but I feel certain it was a large number. (I just recently booked an "obstructed view" cabin that isn't actually obstructed at all...) I'm very happy to know that the pics are enduring on the cruisedeckplans.com site and that they are in the free section. This is a huge benefit to folks here and hopefully even more people will find the information now. These are truly nice folks who put in a lot of time and effort to benefit us all. If you should ever meet up with Theo and Anke onboard give them your thanks and - perhaps - buy them a couple of glasses of wine. 😎 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a membership to "cruise deck plans dot com" so it would be hard to "cancel my membership".
