Looking at doing the Legend the first week of Nov09. They have some really good deals on the obstructed view balcony's. Looking to see if anyone has stayed in one of these? And their opinion.How annoying is the life boat out in front of the rail. Do you have much of a view? Or better off with booking the ocean view? Cruised on the Legend on her first voyage. How is she holding up? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Tracer1

Hi Tracer, I can't answer how much the view would be because I'm fairly sure it's not the same from cabin to cabin. I peeked in a few cabin doors on that deck, and you could see a lot in those rooms, but who can say what your individual cabin will be like. The ones I saw had the top of the life boat about as high and the ships railing.

Given a choice between the obstructed balcony and a window, absolutely I'd take the obstructed balcony. No question about it. But given how much you're already spending, I'd be inclined to just pay the little bit extra to move up one more floor.

Try this link. It's to someone's photos of their cruise on the Legend, in an obstructed balcony. It's the view out their balcony. All that orange is the top of the lifeboats, and that white equipment is what hold, and raises or lowers them.

If your cabin says FRENCH DOORS.....They don't really open. That is what I heard from a cruiser who bought an obstructed view cabin. I don't remember if it had a balcony.

I have never seen those rooms, but I was given to understand that those 5A French Door rooms do open but they only open to a railing and an obstructed view, no actual verandah.

I am being told these are 7A cabin that do have a balcony but the life boat is on the other side of the railing but below the top of the railing. So you can still sit out on the balcony. Has any body on cruise addicts been on the Legend recently? Curious how she is holding up. Read somewhere that the furniture around the outside pools are in very poor condition. And that the boat is showing her age. But I also read that it was refurbished in 2008.Any comments?
