Adjoining Balcony Question

[nanbob]

Does anyone know if the doors can be opened to the next balcony on the aft staterooms on deck 5 / #5188 and #5186?

Yes. Your steward has the "key" (tool).

You don't say which ship/Class of ship.

Doors on verandahs can be opened by steward and left open. Be sure they are well secured or

the banging noise of them in the wind at night will drive you and your neighbors nutty all night. :eek:

The partitions cannot be taken down.

Yes. Your steward has the "key" (tool).

 

Is that the same for all the ships John? Is it a lot of work for the stewards? (ie open it up for one occasion and then close it). thanks:D

It has to be a Vista or Signature, the only ones that have a 5186 and 5188. On any of them answer is still the same - Yes.

It's the same for all six ships that have a 5186/5188. It takes just seconds. The tool is just like a very large Allen wrench (aka hex wrench) and one quick turn is all it needs.

Also Right. :)

Those who ask for the doors to be opened most usually leave them open the whole cruise so the steward isn't constantly fussing with them.

From Joanie's sticky

It is a small door that opens by the railing.

 

 

 

If you look carefully at the top of the picture, you will see the black "hook" where the cabin steward will attack the door to the other panel so that the door will remain open and not move when the ship is moving.
