Cathy and Kim, I believe these are outside cabins...but the doors to exit
them are on the inside corridor...You must be careful to draw your drapes at
night as Cathy mentioned, as people walking the promenade can see inside
your stateroom...I don't think these are the best type of outside cabins to
get...but that is just my preference.

Never heard about that. Must have been a reason for it such as very windy
weather or rocky seas, perhaps?

There are many wooden reclining deck chairs on both sides of the Promenade
deck to sit out on to read or just watch the scenery and seas..very
relaxing...
