Find Your Perfect Cruise

What does it mean when they say a cabin has a restricted view?

A restricted view cabin has some type of obstruction blocking all or part of your view.

The restrictions on your view depend on which cruise liner you are sailing on and which cabin choice you opt for.

In most cases the obstruction will be the lifeboats attached at the side of the cruise ship. Depending on the positioning of your cabin, you may be lucky and only have your view partially obstructed whereas in other positions your view may be completely blocked. When booking your cruise your Cruise Expert will be able to advise if your cabin will be fully or partially restricted.

Restricted view cabins can mostly be found on Oceanview and Balcony cabin grades or cabins located on higher decks on board.

Some cruisers prefer restricted view cabins as they have the same décor and amenities etc. as full view cabins but are slightly cheaper in price.

When choosing the perfect cabin for you, our Cruise Experts are here to answer any questions or queries you may have. Call us today on 0800 197 8050.

Katrina Dawson is great

Katrina Dawson was so helpful and patient. We kept changing our requirements but nothing was too much trouble for her. She made the whole process so easy and followed up with detailed email confirming our booking. Cruise Kings put together a good package at a competitive price. Would definitely use again and recommend

Excellent Service!!!

Excellent service. I arranged a call back and got one at the specified time by Joanna who was polite, friendly and helpful. This is my first time booking a cruise and Joanna was a great help and took the time to explain everything both over the phone and via emails. We were really happy with the package and cannot wait to set sail!

Great service

Laura was so helpful with our cruise and stay booking to Canada and when I had to change the date, due to personal circumstances, she managed to get our booking amended to two weeks later. Many thanks Laura and you are an asset to Cruisekings!
