Remember, as a moderate resort, the "views" aren't the same as from a balcony at a deluxe. The only window in your room is next to the front door and looks out onto an exterior hallway where people walk by. Your only 'view' is if you go to the window and stand up next to it, then you can see your view. We paid for a "water" view when we stayed at CSR last March and it really was silly to have to pay extra for something like that. When we are in our room, we like privacy and don't want people walking by our room to be able to see us in our room, so we closed the shades for the most part. We could have paid less and stayed in the same exact room around the corner. We still would have had the same view as we walked to the elevator in the morning.
