You really are not going to easily find a photo of cabin X on Y ship. You may come across a review where someone just happened to be in the same cabin you booked. But this is really a waste of time anyway since virtually all cabins in a category are identical. Actually the cabins in several categories may be identical since the category really only defines which deck they are on. Cabins on modern cruise ships are prefabricated units that are lowered into place by crane and welded into the structure.
If you go to this page on the NCL site you will see the deck plans. Hold you cursor over the side view of the ship and find deck 5 and click. Your cabin is the second one on the port side.....mighty close to the main showroom. Your cabin is also "in the bow" since the ship starts to curve forward by your cabin. So what does this mean? Portholes are probable and the outer bulkhead may not be straight up and down. If you hold your cursor over the cabin an image will appear - but this is a sample image which shows the window and not portholes. Otherwise the cabin layout is the same.
I was looking at some images on google, still can't find the portholes! anyway if it gets rough we will go to the disco... Thanks Dave! Haven't found anyone on the site yet thats on the same cruise....

They usually don't show the porthole cabins - the cabins with windows look better from a sales perspective. Just consider two portholes in place of the window. The big reason for portholes in forward cabins is one of structural engineering.
