Bungee for Splendour aft Jr. Suite?

[redheadx3]

What kind of balcony door does the aft Jr. Suite have, a sliding or regular? Should I bring my bungee cord to hold the door open?

We have never needed a bungee cord on RCI, Monarch, Grandeur and Navigator.

I was on Grandeur aft JR suite in Dec and did not need a bungee cord.

I don't think you will need one.

Having spent a number of years living and traveling in the Caribbean, Central Pacific and Southern Asia, I have experienced the tropics at it's best and the worst. You learn that the warm moist air has a tendency to support the growth of a green fungus on shoes and other organic products residing in your closets. The moist air will also cause your bedding, carpets and other soft goods to take on a musty odor. Where air conditioning is present these negative aspects are eliminated, however, you can still enjoy the ocean breeze while ashore, on deck or possibly on your personal veranda.

 

The ship's air conditioning system is not designed to operate in an environment where the return air has a high moisture content. The system can not operate effectively when some cabins have outside doors open for long periods of time. For the comfort of all the passengers, and for maintenance considerations, I think you will find that the use of bungee cords to keep exterior doors open is not encouraged.

On most (if not all) of the RCI ships with sliding doors, there is a switch in the door jamb that shuts off the air in the cabin when the door is open. Also, if you wish to keep the door in open, or any position in between, you can usually move the door locking handle to the down or closed position. This mechanism is designed to pull the door down onto the threshold and closer the the jamb, thereby holding it wherever you wish it to be. It is easier to do, than to describe it, lol.

I'm sure this post is in way meant to tell you that if you desire to sleep with the balconey door open, you would be wrong

The Splendour balcony doors have a latch that will allow then to remain open.
