Restricted View Cabins

Cruise ships have to have life boats in case the worst occurs and these have to be positioned somewhere, which unfortunately results in some cabins having a restricted view. These cabins though often offer great value for money, outside restricted views can be cheaper than a high grade inside cabin and give you the benefit of some natural light in your cabin and balcony cabins can offer substantial savings.

You can still sit out in the open and enjoy the breeze and privacy, albeit without the full view. Customers also forget that even with a clear view the view is not always that pretty. When in port you often just see cranes or buildings and whilst at the sea you cannot always see the coast. If you want to make your money go further I would strongly recommend an obstructed view cabin.
