We chose the reduced cost and I was a little worried about the obstructed view. However, the only obstruction was you couldn’t look directly down because the life boats were the deck below. It really wasn’t a problem and I am glad we took the savings.
The cabin was nice except for the bed that pulls out from the wall. I had seen pictures of a single pull out couch and thought that's what I was getting in 7072, 7076, 7080 and 7084. Sadly, our kids who were 19, 15 and 12 were pretty uncomfortable in that bed. It was also not a great situation for the couple who slept below as the bed made noise all the time and it was difficult to get in and out of the bed.
