GOLDEN PRINCESS OBSTRUCTED VIEW STATEROOM
How to decide to pay extra for an obstructed view stateroom compared to a cheaper ''inside stateroom''? How bad is the obstruction?
Any comment will be welcome.

To locate the least obstructed cabin, check the deck plan and try to find a cabin between the life boats, or at the edge of the last boat. The deck plans are accurate. Usually the price difference between inside and obstructed is not high so it's worth it.

There is no way to know for sure. I've been in such rooms where about all you could see out the window was the side of a lifeboat.
If its a small amount more money, it is usually worth the chance because at a minimum it makes the room feel bigger and allows some natural light in. If you are lucky, you'll get a partial view such as between two lifeboats or around some other obstruction.
You should also try what spur suggests, it will give you at least some idea of what you'll be facing.

I have only had an inside cabin once and that was in 1974! I need to have a window so I can tell if it's day or night... lol!! I couldn't sail away without having a window (but prefer a balcony more than anything).

You can still see around the life boats in an obstructed view cabin, but try to pick a stateroom to the front or back of the ship. Often, the lifeboats only take up the top third of the view. Also, check on the rates for an unobstructed view stateroom; sometimes the price difference is really small. Or, see about getting a oceanview guarantee stateroom and possibly get upgraded to a oceanview with no obstructed view.

I too am wondering about the "obstructed view". My stateroom is near the front of the ship on the Plaza deck. The lifeboats are two decks above. Does anyone know what of obstructions other than lifeboats? Looking at a picture of the ship, there does not seem to be anything that might obstruct the window view.

Yes, the Princess website states that staterooms in categories E-HH have obstructed views. Since the lifeboats do not affect the Plaza deck, could the obstruction possibly have something to do with the the curvature of the ship?
