Connecting balconies on Brittania

[chrissie p]

Hi. I am looking to book 2 adjacent balcony cabins on the Brittania. I am hoping that the barrier between the 2 balcanies could be opened up to allow us to share 1 larger balcony space. Has anyone done this on this ship please or had an instance where they have not been able to do this? I am currently looking at F214 and 216 on deck 9. Many thanks

If it helps then certainly the balcony next to mine on C-deck has their barrier open to the one further along to double the balcony size on the Baltic B222 cruise a couple of weeks back.  No idea why, never saw them out there.  But the barrier was defo open for sure.

Thanks. Thats good to know 😀

There will be someone on their own in one if the cabins and it would be nice if we could enjoy an early evening drink without having to cram onto the one balcony. I thought it would be possible and I have now found something on P&Os website saying where possible they will open them up but wasn't sure if anyone had experience of this being refused or not possible.

My view on anything is if you don't ask you don't get.

We were on the Britannia for the Baltic cruise; our son and his partner were next door to our daughter and her partner - D deck, starboard side. He was able to open the divider between them with his house key.

This year we had the divider opened. Asked the cabin steward and it was done later in the day

Thanks everyone for your replies, it is looking like we won't have a problem 😀

We have 4 cabins in a row booked for September next year and are hoping to have them all opened up.

Please do let us know the outcome.

Will do. We have booked today so are on a countdown to May 🛳💃🥳

There are some situations where adjoining balconies cannot be opened up due to unmovable stanchions, but when it is physically possible (as it is in most cases) cabin stewards will always oblige.

We had our divider folded back between cabins.  Just remember the side that gets the divider will then get reduced access through their patio door.  Our son didn’t mind but something to consider.

Thanks and interesting point about the divider. Was there an option as to which room got the divider or will it only fold back one way?

In my experience they are hinged in one direction out the way with a hook and eye arrangement to stop them swinging continuously.

As far as I could tell .. yes.   Our son and partner said they didn’t mind so we didn’t try it any other way.
