BigHouseFootball Posted February 16, 2019 #52 Share Posted February 16, 2019 We slept with the door open one night on Freedom years ago in April. It was amazing. It was the last night. We wondered why we hadn’t thought of doing that before. Coming back from Bermuda in July we left the door open while we were out on the balcony and cane back in to find the room looking like a steamed up shower haha. So we weren’t able to leave it open in the summer months. Too much humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On some ships yours may shut down or be less effective but doesn't impact the others around you. On ships? DIFFERENT systems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted February 16, 2019 #54 Share Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) Here you go, I knew it would come in handy some time. Enlarge and read the bottom signage: Leisure guy must be blind. By the way, that is not from our cabin, I copied it from the other thread long ago Edited February 16, 2019 by BecciBoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted February 16, 2019 #58 Share Posted February 16, 2019 What you are hearing when the door is open is the wind...not so much the water! Keeping your balcony door open adversely affects the cooling/heating of other cabins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDG 41 Posted February 17, 2019 #60 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Why are people on these boards so selfish. If you want the sea breeze sleep on your balcony. Your actions affect everyone else and the cruise lines clearly tell you not to. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyweir Posted February 17, 2019 #63 Share Posted February 17, 2019 We do it all the time, weather permitting. Not concerned about security, unless you think your neighbor is going to climb over the railing. The only thing to remember is the HVAC system will create a wind tunnel so if your balcony door is open and you open your cabin door, there will be a big air rush into the hallway. It will also slam your cabin door closed if you're not careful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyweir Posted February 17, 2019 #65 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Wow! I've never had any issues. It only affects the cabin with the door open. I've talked to the engineering staff. Yes, there is increased airflow into the hallway it's common sense is to close the balcony door before you open your cabin door. You can leave it open a few inches and get the same wave sounds if you are so worried about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you don’t have it open all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what, others like you will still affect others, even after being informed of the effect on other passengers experiences.

It says “For YOUR comfort”, does not mention the comfort of others. i think the operative phrase on that label is really “and it saves energy”.

Rare BecciBoo Posted February 17, 2019 #72 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Mmmmmmmm? Maybe there are more peeps who need to get left dockside to learn rules are there to be followed. Then again, sometimes "it's all about me" no consideration for their fellow passengers. Pity... These decals have been on all 23 cruises we have taken on RCCL...some of them are easier to find/read than others because some are actually on the glass itself. But they've been there.
