Need info on removal of balcony partition

[lawgator]

We are sailing on the NCL Gem in October in a category BA balcony stateroom. Our neighbor and close friend is in a similar stateroom beside us. Her husband was originally supposed to go on this cruise with us, too, but recently passed away. Since she is going solo in her cabin now, we would like to make her feel as supported and surrounded by friends as possible. I thought maybe we could have the partition removed between our balconies. (She wants this, too, if it is possible.) Has anyone had any experience in this matter as to how to accomplish this successfully? I called our travel agency and they weren't very helpful. Thank you in advance for your advice and assistance.

Balcony partitions can't be removed, but can be unlocked so that you can pass from one balcony to another on some ships...and if memory serves me correctly, the Gem's partitions are among those that can be unlocked.

We did this on the Star in Jan. and loved it. Just ask your room steward when you get onboard. They will be happy to unlock it for you if it can be done on that ship.

 

Enjoy your trip,;)
