Mariner Balacony Question

[lgonquin]

We have booked two JS' on Deck 9. They are not adjoining rooms (interior door). Can the balacony divider be opened? We had this feature on Liberty, but the JS' were adjoining.

 

Anyone?

Hello, I think we are neighbors as I am also from algon/CL area. I had a balcony stateroom several years ago on the Mariner and believe that it can opened. The divider on our balcony appeared that it could be opened. We did not have an adjoining stateroom so had no need to test it out. I hope this helps. Have a great trip! :)

It is possible for the dividers on Mariner to be opened BUT it is up to the Captain whether it is actually allowed. It is rarely allowed. You can ask but be prepared for a no.

Funny you should say that. I asked at time of booking, and that is exactly what the reservantionist told me.

 

"Ask the Captain" -- what the heck???

we've been told that the official policy on Mariner is that only balcony dividers between connecting (not merely adjacent) cabins have permission to be opened.

I don't understand your reaction.

 

The Captain is the Master of the Vessel.

 

It is his decision whether to allow balcony dividers to be opened.

 

Some consider it a safety hazard. That is their call to make.

We were part of a group on the Mariner a couple years back. [The first season out of LA.] We had a family that had 3 or 4 adjacent balcony cabins, and they had all the balcony adjoining dividers opened. Was pretty cool.

We have adjoining cabins on the Mariner for Sept. and were told the divider can be opened. The TA told us this - maybe we should call the cruise line.

It will all depend on what the Captain decides for your particular cruise. The cruiseline won't be able to tell you in advance.
