Rhaethe Posted January 27, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Halloo! I searched this forum for an answer, but could not quite find it. Perhaps an odd question, but the windows in the Oceanview cabins on either the QM2 or the QE ... do they open? I like the idea of the ocean wind, but don't need a full balcony. TIA :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA 🙂 Welcome to CC Never heard of outside staterooms having windows that open. A balcony stateroom enables one to enjoy the sights, sounds and breeze of the ocean. One does not have the balcony door “open” for any period other than to access balcony or stateroom, then immediately closed.

frankp01 Posted January 27, 2022 #4 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Oceanview cabins are often too close to the waterline to allow opening. And those that aren't that low in the ship (of those I've seen) do not have operable "windows". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PORT ROYAL Posted January 27, 2022 #6 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Was informed by a Senior Officer that one should never have the door “open”, regardless if sailing or not, as it could cause problems with the deck’s air conditioning. Also, when sailing “open” some other staterooms could hear an annoying whistle in addition to potential air conditioning problems. As there is a difference of opinion on open doors, no doubt there will be a qualified ship’s engineer on CC to give the definitive Cunard answer. Meanwhile, one will stick with information from a ship’s professional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac1953 Posted January 27, 2022 #7 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I don't suggest you leave your door open, I only mention that I do know that some people do leave it open whether it be right or wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underwatr Posted January 27, 2022 #9 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) QM2 oceanview staterooms (aside from the newer singles on 2 and 3) are on 4, 5 and 6 (so not any closer to the waterline than sheltered balconies) but there really aren't many of them. I think they go faster than even my preferred BZ forward sheltered balconies. Edited January 27, 2022 by Underwatr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
