katleigh3 Posted June 16, 2005 #1 Share Posted June 16, 2005 We are traveling aboard the Mariner on 11/13/05 in room 7330 and 7332 (adjoining room). Does anyone know if the balconies are adjoining also? Any info about this ship is welcomed.:) -Kathleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flagger Posted June 16, 2005 #3 Share Posted June 16, 2005 We were next to the Mariner in Cozumel in January. We saw several balconies on the port side where the partitions had been swung open between the cabins. I couldn't tell you the cabin numbers however.

grapepot Posted June 16, 2005 #4 Share Posted June 16, 2005 The balconies 'technically' aren't joining, but if you request your steward to open them, you can have one big balcony. We had adjoining on the Mariner in Dec 2004, it was nice having the big balcony. Click this link and you can see the picture. The divider 'swings' open and locks in place. http://community.webshots.com/scripts/editPhotos.fcgi?action=showMyPhoto&albumID=340859081&photoID=340864552&security=qHyLrM Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the Mariner last week and had adjoining balcony rooms 6606 and 6608. A door made of translucent glass separated the balconies. We had read on these boards that the room steward could open this door thus creating one large balcony. So we asked and were told they had discontinued the policy of opening balcony doors some time ago (she did not know why). Our 20 and 14-year-old sons were in the adjoining room and the more we thought about it, the more we liked the idea of having a private balcony.:) So, we did not pursue it any further. I would go ahead and ask anyway if you really want it open. Then, if you still don’t get a yes, pursue it with a higher authority. The worst that can happen is they will tell you no. Also, I posted a two-part review a few days ago of our trip. You may find some useful info there as well. Happy Cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katleigh3 Posted June 17, 2005 Author #6 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Thank you so much for the info everyone. bayview97, I read both parts of your review and I really enjoyed it. Thank you so very much for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggy13 Posted June 17, 2005 #7 Share Posted June 17, 2005 We had connecting cabins on the Voyager back in 2001 and they wouldn't open up the balcony dividers (don't remember why) - we didn't care as long as we had a connecting door. On our last Carnival cruise, we didn't have connecting cabins and they did open up that balcony door (so they could connect). On our upcoming Mariner, we don't have the connecting cabins, but probably can't open up the balcony since the one cabin is at the start of the hump and the other isn't (wouldn't be even).

MEGADAN Posted June 17, 2005 #8 Share Posted June 17, 2005 We were on the Navigator in 2003 and had connecting rooms with our children. They would not open up the balconies for us. Another dissapointment was that the adjoining door, once opened could not be locked at all during the cruise. Most adjoining rooms in hotels have two doors so it is possible to have your door closed and locked. The Navigator only had one door and it had to be opened or closed.

OPSoccermom Posted June 18, 2005 #9 Share Posted June 18, 2005 We had six adjoining balcony rooms on the Mariner in March. Our room steward told us that they no longer open the balcony dividers as of January 2005 due to an "incident" that occurred. We then contacted member services as well as the maintenance staff. We were told the same thing. Let us know if you can get yours opened - it would be helpful for future cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
