Rare mil76 Posted September 1, 2023 #26 Share Posted September 1, 2023 On older ships like Voyager class, it's not worth having the door opened. Here is a picture of the door open on Navigator (they were cleaning this day, which is why it was open). They once opened the door for us when our teenage kids were in the next non-connecting room. Since these doors were designed for ship utility purposes rather than guest convenience, the door ends up blocking the door into the stateroom, so it is a pain to have to navigate around the door and the table and chairs to get into the stateroom. And because there is no securing mechanism, it swings around and bangs when the ship is in motion. Doesn't make for a pleasant night of sleep in rough seas. On newer ships they re-designed them to take into account the passenger convenience piece, and that's why they are smaller so they can be opened where the door seats and is secured against the dividing wall (sorry, I don't have a picture). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
