They definitely do for breakfast. If they have a paying adult.

It must have been the dinner menu I was reading, I am fairly sure kids now have to pay for that.

the issue were the doors we got told , they open the wrong way  with regards to the wind and the wind canopy.. so were being changed,  although makes sense to put in patio doors really ..🤔...... 

Yes. The contractor fixing it was staying in our suite! 😩 

Never mind. We really enjoyed the cruise and the ship. 😊

Do the affected suites have a single hinged balcony door? Videos of the starboard ones show the door hinge on the right which means if the ship is moving and especially if there is a headwind opening the door may find it violently opening and potentially launching you rather rapidly on to the balcony. If the port balconies have the hinge on the right as well you will just be inconvenienced by having difficulty in opening the door.

 

Pity they did not think of that during the design stage.

Now you know full well that the designers of ships have never sailed on them so how would they know such a thing?

Now the occasion has passed…

 

My understanding is it was completely to do with the door to the patio in the forward facing cabins/suites. Not just was there the chance of violently opening/closing the door, the effect of the wind meant that the doors only needed to warp by a few mm and they funnelled wind through at one corner - making quite a noise.

 

A contractor was onboard to make changes. As I said previously, once the materials/parts were available, it was booked asap so changes could be made.

 

I didn’t mention the detail earlier as I didn’t want anyone thinking there was a safety issue that there wasn’t - before the changes when the door was closed it was fine, and passengers were briefed by cabin steward/butler not to use, or take care, when ship was in motion.

And yes, very usual that a contractor will stay in a cabin that needs fixing. Otherwise you have an additional cabin taken out if availability.

Apparently it was a 2 hour job, but when the contractor realised that he’d been booked into a suite it was revised to 2 weeks 😂

Of course. Makes sense, especially as the ship was full to bursting!

I'm sorry you were affected.
