Review summary
Very bad room. I ordered the advertised window room. Was offered unobstructed for $160.00 more. I agreed. When I saw my room, it was on the walking desk. People walking by. Look up to see the life boats. On the left side a pillar. You could see the ocean, if you looked across 10+ feet of deck. My wife closed the curtains for the trip. We might as well have been on the inside. Then to make things worse, at 5:30 in the morning they started talking, moving chairs and cleaning the deck. Not the agents fault. HAL advertises this as "unobstructed.

Ship tip
For those who like a drink before dinner, happy hour is nice. Buy 1, get 1 for $1.00. Nice to have a Catholic priest on board.

I would not be happy being on the Promenade deck. Could walkers see into your cabin if you had the light on or were the windows one way viewing only meaning that you could see out but those outside couldn't see into your room? Did you complain to the front desk and ask for another room?
