MissDiva1 Posted August 21, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 21, 2011 We have two 8C balcony rooms booked on the Legend. How do I find out if the balcony divider can be opened between them? Thanks:) They can. one person from each cabin need to go to the guest service desk and be put on a list. I would do this as soon as you board because they will only open a limited amount. They will send someone from maintenance either that evening or the next day to open and clamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted August 21, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2011 With very few exceptions the balcony partitions can be opened on the Spirit Class ships. I understand that a few aft balconies on the Upper Deck can not have the dividers moved. Only a limited number of partitions can be opened, however as the require a clamp. The dividers open toward the balcony rail and must be held in place by the clamp. The Spirit Class ships came out of the shipyard as newbuilds with 47 pairs of clamps... there are far fewer on each ship now. Be advised that with the divider open a significant portion of the balcony view is blocked. It's important that one person from each cabin makes their way together to the Guest Services Desk as soon as possible and requests the dividers be opened. Once the clamps are used up no additional partitions can be opened... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusyFLmom Posted August 21, 2011 Author #5 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I understand that one cabin will partially lose their view...but I thought I read that not all balconies can be opened :confused: We have 5197 and 5199. So Im assuming if we get to guest services early enough and request it to be opened...we wont have a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissDiva1 Posted August 22, 2011 #9 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Thank you :D All balcony dividers open......some will block doors or windows........if that happens they will just leave them unlocked.......not a big deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B and C Blake Posted August 22, 2011 #10 Share Posted August 22, 2011 All balcony dividers open......some will block doors or windows........if that happens they will just leave them unlocked.......not a big deal... This is not true on Spirit Class ships .... here is Spirit Empress deck descriptions Balcony Partitions The balcony partition panel can be opened and secured in place against the balcony rail with the use of hardware. By doing so, the view is partially blocked. The required hardware is limited on each ship and is on a "first come, first serve" basis. Due to safety reasons, the following partitions cannot be opened: 6258/6260; 6260/6262; 6262/6264; 6264/6333; 6333/6331; 6331/6329; 6329/6327 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoddaj1 Posted August 22, 2011 #12 Share Posted August 22, 2011 We had a balcony on the Miracle but were very disappointed that it blocked just about 1/2 of the balcony (ours of course). Thus we had it closed and spent more time together on the decks above. We did have some conversations "through"the partition at times which was rather odd.

B and C Blake Posted August 22, 2011 #18 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Yes I know how they open:) Just because the crew can open them for cleaning does not mean they will leave them unlocked no big deal .... They have them secured for a reason otherwise they would NOT be listed as not being able to be opened. Your statement was misleading and IMHO was not true.
