bigdaddyvoges Posted April 30, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 30, 2009 All, We were on the Carnival Triumph back in 2006 and we could open our balconies, then in 2007 on RC AOS they wouldn't allow us to open the balconies between rooms. Jue 14th, we will be on the Carnival Valor and have 2 Category 11 rooms right next to each other on deck 7, will we be able to open these balconies? We would then have about 130 square feet of balcony for us all to relax on. Please advise. Thanks. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted April 30, 2009 #2 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Yep! Your balconies should connect! Ask your cabin steward to unlock and open them of you... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdaddyvoges Posted April 30, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I hope you are correct, we LOVED being able to open our balconies on Carnival 3 years ago, and now with 2 85 square foot balconies, we will have 170 square feet of balcony pleasure!!! I REALLY hope you are right!!!! That would be the icing on the cake for our 2 Cat 11's!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted April 30, 2009 #4 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I looked at ALL the Cat 11 cabins on the Empress Deck on the Valor and they are all connecting so I'm pretty sure about that answer! What are the cabin numbers? I'll post the description that includes which cabins they connect to... Have a great time!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie322 Posted April 30, 2009 #5 Share Posted April 30, 2009 We were on the Valor a couple of weeks ago. We were on Deck 7 with our friends next door. Our cabin steward, Anthony, unlocked the divider no problem. But here's the thing....the way our cabins were configured, when the divider was open, it blocked our balcony doors. We liked to keep the divider in place at night so that early risers like me could get up and go out onto the balcony without disturbing anyone else. It would have been a pain to have Anthony lock/unlock every day so we ended up using our bungee cords to "lock" the door at night because otherwise it kept swinging and was noisy. Of course, one night we didn't do this and the divider was swung over our door. When I got up the next morning, I went to look out the door and was amazed at how foggy it was. I couldn't see a thing. Duh...it was the divider! We all got a good laugh over that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdaddyvoges Posted May 1, 2009 Author #11 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Mach, Do you know where I could find a room layout of the Category 11 on the Valor? I can't believe a tub with jets on a cruise boat.....after a long day of standing and moving around, it will be nice to relax!!! Thanks again!!!

rickdeb Posted May 1, 2009 #12 Share Posted May 1, 2009 We'd love to see the layout as well...Liberty 7242; friends in adjoining 7248...very excited to have suites for our cruise :D. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdaddyvoges Posted May 1, 2009 Author #13 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Yeah, all the pictures show you is the bed area, and the virtual tour is of the category 12, so that is no use. I am curious as to the rest of the layout of the room.... First suite....probably won't go back now (I am 24 so that's some expensive cruising for years to come. I have never been under a balcony room yet...and don't plan on it!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kt23st Posted May 1, 2009 #14 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Host Mach, We are sailing on the Valor May 31 in rooms 7259 and 7263.
