doors on the balcony

[msshawn]

Has anyone ever slept with the balcony doors open and do you think it's safe?

I am not sure what would be unsafe but we do it all the time.

Always sleep with the balcony door open...the sound of the crashing waves is so relaxing...

[5waldos]

What are you imagining would be unsafe about it?

have they changed the balcony door configuration? It's been about 10 years since I sailed on Carnival (Triumph), but the doors then swung outward vs. sliding, and it would have been impossible to keep them open at night. At the time, I was told that it was configured that way to more effectively temper the air conditioning.

The doors did and still do swing open outward...

We just stick the rubber door stopper in the door jamb and it works fine...some swear by the bungee method.

Ahhhhhh. Note to self: "bring bungee"

just asking this will be my first balcony and i would just love to keep the door open while i sleep

[Cobra1365]

We do...BUT.... I don't open it all the way or the crashing waves becomes too much. I open it about a third of the way and it works perfect. Just wedge the small balcony table in the door.

We sleep with the balcony door open most of the time. On one cruise, we moved our mattress out onto the balcony and slept there (aft mini-suite, huge balcony). The potential issues are smoke invasion from neighbors and lack of A/C in stateroom with door open.

one word of warning,put a towel across your cabin door to avoid the WIND tunnel!! lol..happy sailing

Unfortunately, there are still jerks who flick their lit cigarettes off the sides of the ship.

 

Personally, I don't want that humid salt air in "my" pillow and bedding.

Sleeping with the sounds of the waves crashing is a highlight of having a balcony room!

 

We do leave it all the way open, however... we use our luggage strap and keep it about half way.

 

It does get really humid, however. So the further south we go, we are less likely to keep it open.
