Forward facing Mini Suites

[C & C Love to Cruise]

Anyone that has had one of these corner cabins on Majestic, Enchanted class ships, is the balcony door locked at night or on sea days?  I have read pros and cons on these cabins and torn on booking one.

While we have not had a corner cabin, we sailed in forward facing mini-suite cabin L105 on the Discovery.  The balcony door was never locked.  At night we had to keep the curtains closed.  We did go on the balcony on sea days but didn't stay out too long.  It was pretty windy but we could usually find a spot that had less wind.  It was perfect sailing in and out of ports.  We did like this cabin and did book it again for next year.

I have stayed in them twice with them being booked 2 more times.  Doors are not locked and I have used them every day but once while at sea.

We were in the front corner M108 on the Royal which is the same Mini Suite as on the Majestic. In my opinion , the best cabin I have ever had including full suites. The balcony is HUGE. Great for sailaways as you get the view of both the front and side of the ship as you are on the bridge roof with the extension off the side.  The balcony door was never locked, but you could not have the light on the balcony and had to keep curtains closed if lights were on in cabin. Room Steward told me the only reason it was not categorized as a suite was there was not enough room for a suite sized bathroom. However, the bed room and sitting room were large. At sea it could be windy, however as stated above you can usually find a place where the wind is broken.
