In the Special Rooms thread, we've highlighted various rooms that appeared to be more obstructed than other rooms, once we saw the actual pictures of the Dream. You can see the specific room numbers and additional pictures highlighted in the first post in that thread:

I was watching the video of the Dream taken by someone on the Wonder as they passed last night, and with the lights on in the stateroom, it really highlights just how obstructed some of these rooms are, when compared to their peers that are considered to be in the same category. Check out the picture below:
It's not the greatest picture, since captured from a video, but you can see the lights on in several of the rooms. The top row of porthole rooms are Deck 9. If you look at the first verandah to the left of the portholes, you can see part of the verandah door on the Deck 9 room 9664, and very little of the verandah door on the heavily obstructed Deck 8 room 8674. You can also see the impact of the obstructions to the right side of the porthole rooms, especially on Decks 9 (9652) and 7 (7668). I assume these same obstructions are present on the same rooms on the other side of the ship as well (9164, 8176, 9152, and 7182, respectively.)
For awhile now, we've seen DCL's virtual deck plan have some anomolies involving some of these obstructed rooms. For example, room 7680 shows on the deck plan as a Cat 6C room (not a currently valid published category.) 5680 is supposed to be a Cat 6A room, but it shows on the virtual deck plan as a Cat D8 Deluxe Stateroom with Verandah. While DCL has repeatedly said these are errors, they haven't fixed them either in the few months they've been listed this way.
For those sailing in these rooms this month, or in any of the rooms flagged as appearing obstructed, please be sure to take pictures of the obstructions. And please complain if you don't feel that it's fair that you're paying the same amount for the person in the room next to you!
