Anyone know the weight limit on Princess' balconies?

[CaribbeanCruisers]

Is there a weight limit on the balcony? We'd like to have all of our family (if room allows) out on one of our balconies for some group photos. There is 8 adults and 1 child. Is this too much weight?

 

Happy Cruising,

Courtney

I don't think weight will be a problem as much as square footage might be.

I agree.

Ditto that... they are very solid... Just look obstructed view post with the beam going through the balcony :)

We had 10 adults on the Golden Princess, Caribe deck. Crowded, but sure was fun!

Plan to do it on the first day.

 

By the end of the cruise the weight could be significantly more.

A balcony on caribe is 50% deeper than the other decks. Good luck.

We had 9 adults on E730 on the Crown. The thought crossed my mind until and "Marlinritas" took over. They're solid as a rock!

I keep thinking...."if you have to ask..."

 

well...you know

Depending on the size of the balcony. More room - more weight - load per square foot ruling.

I saw a VERY interesting program on Travel Channel a while back...How they constructed one of the Royal Carib ships..It was fascinating. I believe they showed how the balcony actually was an "extension" of the cabin,,,not bolted or hammered and nailed in after the fact...Everything is modular...The entire cabin is "dropped into the slot of the frame"..The jutting out balcony part was already there as part of the ship construction..Not to worry...

This is definitely a new question for the boards! WOW.

Thanks for all the answers, everyone...

 

Jennew, In response to your comment - It was an honest question and I was looking for honest answers. In all the cruises I have been on I have never been on a balcony so I really had no clue. And, if you don't know an answer to something, you ask. It's that simple.

 

Anything that is suspended in air has some sort of weight limit. I didn't want to have pictures taken on the balcony of all of us not knowing the limit, and wondering all the while! Otherwise we'd all look like this in the photos ----->:eek::confused: :eek::confused::eek:

 

Thanks again CC!

Never hurts to ask, that's why we're here!

The caribe deck balconies are built on the ceiling of the dolphin deck cabins below them, so I wouldn't hestitate to pack as many people out there as will fit.

I have to admit I thought the thread title was strange.... Thinking what on earth is this person thinking about putting on the balcony???... Never even thought it might be people!!

 

You are right, if you dont know a answer and have a concern, then you should ask the question... I am gald you got answers.

I thought it was an excellent question, especially after our hometown has had two major deck collapses in the past year. Tons of people injured! They were taking pictures at family reunions. One victim says she was taking the photo of her group. She looked at the group, and then looked into the viewfinder and everyone was gone, then she went! :eek: :confused: :eek: :confused:
