Wind in the hallways from a balcony door open?

Has anyone experienced being in the hallways and hearing or feeling winds, blowing/whistling down the hall from the balcony suites doors being open? It happened on our last cruise, but not the first two. Is it because of the weather, or the position of our cabins?

We have heard the winds whistling in the hallways on windy nights.

 

And, we have had staff come to our cabins and advise us to close our balcony doors on windy nights.

If everyone follows the rule...who knows;)

You really want to get into a discussion of Bernoulli's Principle? :) Suffice it to say it has a lot to do with the speed of the ship, the relative wind, and the position of the cains where the doors are open.

inside the stateroom when the balcony door is opened & someone opens the stateroom door & all paperwork, magazines, anything light take off all over the place.

 

The George Smith case on Brilliance of RCCL fame. The FBI photo of a room trashed with paperwork all over. Got me to email Greta, the investigator from Court TV who went to MSNBC. I told her the wind factor in a stateroom with balcony door open & stateroom door opening & watch stuff take off. So she was with the Captain and had him open the balcony door as she opened the stateroom door & away stuff went & landed just like the FBI photo. She thanked me for the clue.
