Narrative:
When I was doing my safety check I noticed that the window on door 2L was covered in condensation. The mechanic came on removed the interior window and wiped off the condensation. He replaced the interior window stated it would be deferred and was 'good' for 100 hours. Upon landing at our destination the window was again 100 percent blocked. 1R was 100 percent blocked and 2R was about 60 percent blocked. The plane continued to be released despite the serious safety concerns of the flight attendants. We went on to our next destination and again upon landing 2L window was 100 percent blocked.
