Balcony dividers on Anthem

[sromano516]

We are sailing April 9th on Anthem, have two rooms booked for us and the kids (grand suite and balcony room). They are next to each other, we couldn't get connecting room at the time we booked. My question is... can the balcony divider be opened so we can at least share one balcony?

We have had the balcony 'door' between our cabin and our friends' cabin opened by the stateroom attendant.

The balcony divider can open, with the approval of ship's management.

No, you cannot get approval pre-cruise. Just ask your stateroom attendant.

Just ask your room attendant -- that's what we did. Funny, it seems to be (withmy experience) a RCCL thing that they will do that -- NCL, and Disney won't. But their dividers are weird -- the divider was more like a door with a door frame, so if opened, you have to step over the frame.

Thanks for the update

good tip to attendant me thinks

We asked our steward and she took care of getting approval. We asked her at the time of embarking and by Day 2, she opened the balcony (when she made up the room in the morning).

As has been mentioned just as the cabin attendant and most likely it will be done. However, realize the entire dividers do not open only about half so it is more of an opening between balconies that you can walk through.

I posted "YES" to this very same question about a year ago and was flamed by some top and long time posters, not BOB, that I was ill informed and the only way the balcony could be open was with a hack saw.

 

I know that this new ship has not seen any rehab and it makes me feel good that this post came up.

 

I hope those ignorant posters are reading this. Many are still active, but have not posted, nor flamed on this thread.

 

So, yes, those balcony doors can be opened on Anthem.:halo:

There's a part of me that would like the divider not able to be opened. My brother has the room next to our on an upcoming cruise. ;-)

One of the reasons I like the first gen Voyager class ships.:)

Tell me about it. ;-)

So true - once opened, your privacy is gone.

Same thing with us. We had 2 rooms just last march. When we first met our attendant when we first got access to our rooms, he asked us if we had any requests, and the divider was one of them. There was no hesitation at all or mention of getting approval. He just said, "yes sir, no problem.", And it was done by the time we came back from muster.

Definitely open that balcony divider. In my cabin the wind blowing thru the dividers made a constant shaking sound - I found it loud but got used to it.
