Are the balconies on adjoining rooms also adjoining on the Mariner?

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.:)

Does anyone know anything about adjoining rooms on the Mariner? Anyone ever stay in one?

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.

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.

Hello katleigh3. 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!

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.

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).

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.

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.
