What does Royal Carribbean mean when they say partial block veiw?

Question

I am sailing on the Majisty of the seas. I am booked on the 7th floor and they said the window is partial blocked. What does this mean? Does it mean there is a life raft that blocks the whole view? or can you see underneith it?

Answer 1

I had a similar deal on carnival...I wanted a room with french doors that i could open up...I got em, but when i opened the curtain to see..there , right in front of my window was a friggin' LIFEBOAT! I couldnt see sht. At least air and sun light could get in , and unlike an inside cabin, i could tell f it was day or night. DO NOT get an inside cabin....once you close the door and turn off the light its like a tomb!

Answer 2

It means there is something in the way of your ocean view.  Could be anything.   You might be able to find pictures of the ship or a deck plan to find out.

Answer 3

Probably a beam is blocking your porthole view

Answer 4

It means that there's something in your view so that you don't have 100% access to whatever the view is.....the ocean...the pool etc.

You can call and ask them.

Answer 5

There will be a fat guy in a thong doing pilates outside your windows 19 hours a day.

Answer 6

It means if you want to see out the window, book a diffrent room

Answer 7

OH THAT it means that your windows will be blocked off by a brick wall.

Answer 8

its like covering half the window...looking out from a corner. Not the best veiw, but a veiw nonetheless.

Answer 9

It means you are looking smack dab out up against a smokestack.  If you press your faceup against the glass so your cheeks spread out like pancakes you can just catch a tiny sliver of sky off on one side.

Partially blocked could mean 99% blocked.

Answer 10

Your view is blocked in some cabins when that cabin is near where the lifeboats are stored.

Unless you have a balcony cabin it makes little difference anyhow, because the windows are small and do not open and are usually behind the beds.
