Grenouille21 Posted October 13, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I am looking at staterooms for an upcoming cruise, and cannot find connecting rooms for our family. I was thinking of getting rooms next to each other and opening the balcony partition but I read a comment from someone who said you can only open the partition if you have connecting rooms. Is that accurate? And is it also accurate that you cannot open the partition on aft balconies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted October 13, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Balcony partitions on side-facing balconies can be opened on Freedom, pending managment approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aft balconies have solid partitions between them that do not open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer about aft cabins as the extra extra big balcony would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matj2000 Posted October 13, 2019 #5 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Don't get connecting rooms unless you have small children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not-enough-cruising Posted October 13, 2019 #6 Share Posted October 13, 2019 On Freedom this summer we had 4 balcony cabins in a row, none connecting, and had the partitions opened between all of them. It was fantastic!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means that I could just open the partition to the balcony next to me and enter a stranger's balcony, and, potentially, their room, if their balcony door is open. This doesn't sound right to me.

Just let your cabin attendant know, and they will take care of it for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
