SASA13 Posted June 13, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 13, 2012 HI All, I am getting ready to book another Epic Adventure, and I am thinking about a Family Connecting Baloncy cabin. I know that the "connecting door" cuts down on some shelf and closet space, and I was wondering how much less space I will have. It may be worth it, as a lot of these cabins have a bigger balcony than most ( my reason for looking at this catagory of cabins). I remember seeing a pic last year, but I can't find it. Any help would be appreciated. ***We loved the Epic so much last December, we will be cruising her again this December *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SASA13 Posted June 13, 2012 Author #2 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Just keeping this alive, as I am hoping SDMIKE has a pic. Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
um5xno1 Posted June 13, 2012 #3 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I asked the same question a few months back and it fell on deaf ears....interested in the response. I have two D3's, so I would love to see where the door is in the "wave." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Superman Posted June 13, 2012 #4 Share Posted June 13, 2012 This picture comes from sdmike's review found Here Here is the picture of the shelf you can fold down in the connecting door: The rooms have a very large amount of storage so you probably wouldn't notice the lost space very much. However, all the balconies can be opened up to connect with your neighbor so a better option might be to book a room without the connecting door and just pass though via the balcony.

NCruiser2012 Posted June 19, 2012 #7 Share Posted June 19, 2012 We are just off the Epic on Sunday where we had connecting cabins. NCL would not open the partition between the balconies, so I am glad we had booked the cabins with the door between them. Also, they did not have the door unlocked. The steward had to hunt down a supervisor to do this which took a few hours. Just warning you that the door between the cabins is very heavy. It must be a fire door. We could not keep it propped open even with a suitcase. It is too far off the ground for a wedge. Be careful if you have little kids in the next room. Loved the Epic. You will have a great time.

Its true that they won't open the partitions sometimes, but the lock is just a square hole that can be opened on your own. I believe sdmike used a bunch of small coffee straws to open one. If you want them open I would just do it yourself rather then ask, better to ask forgiveness after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We brought a multi-tool just for this purpose. We could not turn the lock. I don't know if ours was just difficult or if they have done something to permanently close them.

NCruiser2012 Posted June 22, 2012 #11 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Any pics? Would you mind sharing? I don't have any pictures, but the one posted above is pretty accurate. Our door would slam shut and was very heavy. I don't know if they changed the hinges. My husband thought it closed because of fire protection.
