Constellation...need quick answer

We had a balcony cabin on Sky deck, but decided to change it due to the overhang.....the photos , to me, looked like it would bother me. Now upon studying photos of the ship, I don't see any balcony cabins that have an unobstructed view of the ocean below. My travel agent sent me available cabin numbers on Panorama and Vista decks, but each looks to have an obstruction below. A big problem I see is the lifeboats, do they "hug" the side of the ship, or actually hang below my balcony view????
Any info would be greatly appreciated...
thanks,
Maggie

Lifeboats stick out from the sides. So no matter what deck you are on, if your cabin is located above, you can't "really" look straight down to see the dock or ocean unless you are in a Cat. 2C forward of the Lifeboats on the Penthouse deck. Your view from Vista or Panoramic will only be obstructed a minor amount looking straight down, which would probably make you pretty dizzy if you plan to do this much! We are booked in Cat. 1B, #7197 on Vista and have had #6042 on Penthouse with no problems. Book the cabin that will work best for your total vacation experience.
Happy Holidays and Bon Voyage

I don't remember that being a problem (looking straight down) but you know I think we were sort of in between the boats. They do hug the ship as you suggest but indeed are not entirely inboard.

We were in an aft cabin on sky deck, 9173. The overhang was not a problem at all. Actually, it provides you with shade depending on the direction of the ship. The lifeboats are not a problem in the aft of the ship.

But doesn't the overhang disturb your view, aren't you only limited to straight ahead and down? We're doing Northern Europe next summer and I want to maeke sure my view of the Fjords isn't obstructed????
thanks,

You can see well on both sides. The overhang probably comes out about twelve feet. It doesn't interfere with your view of scenery. Actually it's an advantage if it rains. We won't hesitate to book another sky cabin for our next cruise.
