In my experience it is super easy to move open the balcony partitions yourself - all you need is a butter knife to turn the latch.   Recently went with a bunch of family and opened up across all our balconies.  They (room stewards?  maintenance?) sometimes close them again but no one did on this cruise, and no one has ever said anything to us about keeping them closed.  

Wow!  Your photos are fantastic!  Loved looking at them - thanks for the preview!  We cruise Aug 4 : )
