Obstructed view Balcony on Spirit

[mr. godfredo]

Anyone out there ever stayed on the obstructed balcony cabins on deck 5? We have cabins 5186 and 5188 for Alaska in June and are wondering how "obstructed" these cabins really are. Any insights would be helpful.

Usually obstructed balconies are just above the lifeboats so you would not look straight down to the decks below. 

 

I doubt they would take away from any views in the distance.

Google Carnival Spirit deck plans.  Go to the site that has "cruisedeck" in it's name.  Go to deck 5 and there is a video of cabin 5188.  The lifeboat appears to block looking down but doesn't appear to interfere with your horizontal view.

From my research, those are pretty decent cabins for being "obstructed balcony". The lifeboats in that area are shorter than the tender boats that run from 5142 through 5166 (and 5143 through 5167).

 

The screenshots below are from a video of the Carnival Legend (sister ship to the Spirit) room 5184 and would be a good representation of your view.  You can't see straight down due to the lifeboats, and because of how far aft your cabins are you won't have a full view to the rear, but overall not bad.

Thanks everyone, I feel much better now!

I was happy to see this also.  We've book 5190 on the Legend - and I was a little concerned about the obstructed view - but feeling much better now.
