baclonies on miracle and other ships

[destinydog]

we have to cabins next to each other, we would like the wall between the balconies open, but would also like to close it so we can have some privacy...any advice on if this is possible?

[luv2cruise03]

Our last cruise on the Glory, they came and opened the divider. I don't think that they will come and unlock it and lock it each time you want it locked....

 

You can close it without it being locked.

 

Hope this helps.

Once they are opened they will stay opened for the duration of the cruise. Gotta figure out if you want to have access to the bigger balconies with your cabin mates or do you want the privacy.

Because on the spirit class ship there is a special tool to open the doors the crew people are the ones to lock and unlock them.

But If We Close It And Do Not Lock It Will It Swing Back And Forth All Night Or Will It Stay Pretty Secure?

I didn't notice it if it did. We ususally closed it in the evenings.

Maybe Bungies Are The Answer?

If sailing on the Spirit class ship-- make sure you head to the pursers desk when you first board to request the balcony dividers to be opened. Only a limited number can be opened so get your request in early.

[destinydog]

any idea why the number is limited?

[serene56]

no idea-- have heard many many reasons.

[destinydog]

Care To Share Any?

It's a Coast Guard thing apparently...

We had our balconies on the Miracle opened and they locked them to the rail. You can see it in this picture. We were not able to move them after that.

Pam,

 

What category rooms were those? Does the divider swing fore or aft when opened? Our friends and our family have two Cat 11 suites next to each other for our cruise next year and are thinking of opening the divider. I'm wondering how much "view" is lost with the divider open?

[KruznKel]

Is that the normal size of the balcony's if so they are quite nice! I will be on the Victory so maybe they are not the same size.

On the conquest last week, We just asked our room boy to open the door . the tool looked like it was a 1/4"" or 3/8''square it needs to be about 3"" long
