yags Posted February 1, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 1, 2017 We will be on the Crown Princess in March and will be next to traveling companions. Does the partition between the balconies open or is the an access door? If it makes a difference we will be on Baja deck B424 (midship). Thanks for all your help.

Fuzzyape Posted February 1, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I believe the partitions open up, though you may have to ask your steward for assistance. Of course, I could be wrong, and I'm sure you'll get the correct answer. Then I will see it and know better. Enjoy your trip! Counting down the days!

On Crown Princess B424 is an interior cabin... If you are (as is likely the case) referring to one of the midship balconies in that area, then the answer is almost certainly "yes". Most (but not all) balconies on Princess ships can be opened to the adjacent balcony. It's not a complete opening (the full barrier doesn't open) but part of the barrier can be opened.

skynight Posted February 1, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Are you sure the cabin is B424? That is an inside cabin. Is it B422 or B426? Your balcony will be 9'x5'. The door between the two balconies is against the bulkhead and is 2 foot wide. The door allows passage between the two adjacent balconies, but does not make one double size balcony.

OCruisers Posted February 1, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 1, 2017 The small service door can be unlocked by the cabin steward between most balcony cabins but not the whole panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted February 1, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 1, 2017 The door between the balconies doesn't seem two feet wide to me. More like 18" or so. It's a narrow passageway between the balconies. Just make sure you establish some kind of rules with your traveling companions since they'll have free access to your balcony at all times. (Once the cabin steward opens it, you cannot close it.) What we do is tell them that if the light-blocking curtains are closed, do not bother us but if they're open, you're welcome to come visit. And, if you're in the process of dressing or wearing your birthday suit, close the drapes or you may have a bit of a surprise. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yags Posted February 1, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Thanks to all of you for correcting me. Our Room is B434 (not 424). After a bit of an adrenalin rush I check our documentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine the panic of thinking you may have inadvertently booked an inside cabin! Thanks Mario for the etiquette suggestions. At our age getting caught in your birthday suit probably qualifies as a travel nightmare. If anyone catches me in my birthday suit it will indeed be a travel nightmare - for them, not me! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momto3gr8boys Posted February 1, 2017 #10 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Does anyone have pictures of the partition when it is opened? We have cabins B406 and B410 on the Star. It would be nice if they could be opened up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notentirelynormal Posted February 1, 2017 #11 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Unless it is a fire wall door they can be opened. Look at the deck plans and you will see them. They are definitely wider then 18 inches. My husband walks through them just fine and he is a big guy. We've had as many as 6 cabin balconies opened at one time. Maybe mini suites have wider openings then balcony cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easyboy Posted February 1, 2017 #13 Share Posted February 1, 2017 On the midship balcony cabin of the Emerald, the partition next to our family was opened by the steward. I am not sure about your cabin but will know when we board on the Crown this March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
