Taking sleeping on your balcony to a whole new level

[spg112357]

We have slept on our balcony a couple of times. The last time we did was on the Dream (as I recall) where I dragged both mattresses onto the balcony. It was a beautiful night as we fell asleep (looking up at scattered moonlit clouds). Around 3 am it started to lightly rain. What a depressing way to wake up -- after a short period of denial the mood quickly changed as the rain picked up. What a depressing way to end what was so nice!

I remember on the Carnival Splendor before I got my CPAP machine I snored and kept my wife awake. So one day into the cruise I put the sofa bed mattress on the balcony and slept on that. It was wonderful watching the moon on the ocean and the sunrise. Next night when we got back to the cabin the mattress had been put back in the sofa :-( But they had put a real mattress on the balcony and made me a bed :-) Scary part was that one night towards the end of the end of the cruise the wind was picking up and I found that I was floating off the floor of the balcony by about a foot. And I weigh 280lbs :eek:

So what happens if your neighbor is snoring?? LOL

No one noticed that the MAN is awake reading a book and the WOMAN is sleeping? I never hear of a man in these forums saying how he can't wait for his balcony so he can read a book and enjoy a glass of wine. That picture is fake!

It's not that it's not allowed. It is not recommended.

Sleep walking, rogue waves, storms, etc. :eek:

 

inflate and air mattress, wear your life vest to bed and tie a piece of twine to your leg and to some furniture inside...perfectly safe ;) haha
