Balcony Dividers

[Frenchkona]

We are sailing in October on the Celebrity Beyond. My wife and I and another couple have 2 Celebrity Suites booked that are side by side.  My question is, can the divider between our 2 balconies be opened so we can share a larger balcony. Your answers would be appreciated.

I am wondering the same thing. We will be on the beyond in a few weeks in the infinite veranda cabins, wondering if the balcony dividers open.

Infinite verandas do not have balconies. So no, there is no way to open a barrier.

We're assuming that was intended to be funny, hence the 😄 'reactions' to the post.

Reaction to @Marie51post.

We were on Apex in a Sky Suite. I thought the balcony dividers opened. I just watched a video on YouTube that you can see the hinges on the dividers.

Thanks wise guy

We too have Sunset Verandas with our friends next door in a SV also.  Wondering the same thing.  We realize only part of it will open. We have seen a hinge in the past.

Sorry but that’s the truth.  There is no balcony so no balcony dividers that could be opened.

Whether dividers between balconies can be opened or not is a decision made by the captain.

 

You can always asked, but may be told no.

I have seen the dividers open on the Silhouette when the crew was cleaning the balconies. Would assume they do the same for the balconies on the E-class ships. As noted above, it's worth asking the stateroom attendant to see if it can be done.

No.  If you have connecting cabins the door is close to the entryway.  The IV don’t have balconies.  There is a solid wall between your window and the window next door

I thought that was the case when I first read it. I'm actually not so sure now. 🤷‍♂️

It is not an Infinite Veranda.

The Edge ships are a totally different class and are built differently than the S class.

The E class verandahs have a window which opens while the S class has a real verandah with seating.

 

The suites on E class ships do have real verandahs.

Agreed. I didn't suggest otherwise.

Here is the floor plan of Celebrity Beyond Celebrity Suite and it does have a balcony and not an infinite veranda.

Check out this video. About 30 sec in you can see the balcony divider. Small round hole for the allen wrench and the hinges to swing the divider.

Frenchkona, you might be able to have the adjoining balcony access opened,

Marie51, there are no similar balcony dividers in IV staterooms.  You will have a window, not a balcony.

Typically there is no balcony door to open when a cabin is next to a bulkhead.  I'm not sure, but I believe bulkheads are indicated on deck plans by a white space between cabins.

The graphic showing bulkheads I added to my previous post doesn't show properly.  Here it is....

 

[cruisestitch]

It is true that bulkheads interfere with balcony access.  Since the questions on this thread both concern e class ships, the diagram you attached, which is not from an e class ship, doesn’t apply.
