lostone65 Posted September 8, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 8, 2013 We are sailing on the Epic in December in balconies 10023 and 10025, does anyone know if the partitions open between the balconies? We would like to have one big balcony between the two cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like an odd policy. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were on the Star we noticed does in the partitions on the balcony. There wasn't connecting doors in the room itself. We were in a mini suite.

Beaver1975 Posted September 8, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Really? Why is that? Seems like an odd policy. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Forums mobile app It seems to be a safety issue. Those "doors" are quite heavy and could cause severe damage if they slammed shut against a body part. My understanding is that those " doors" were put there to make maintenance activities easier for the crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VickiD59 Posted September 8, 2013 #7 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I thought I read somewhere that it's a fire safety precaution. You will find a multitude of answers to this question - I've read where the steward opened the dividers.. passengers opened it themselves.. port days only... entire cruise.. on and on. Maybe the location of the cabins has something to do with it (shrug). We have three aft-facing cabins on the Breakaway and we're hoping that we may be able to have at least two of the dividers opened, especially because we'll be in docked in port for 3 days.

We would like to have one big balcony between the two cabins. In the past, they would allow the partitions opened while in port. That is no longer the case now, and they will not open them at all.

mem05 Posted September 8, 2013 #11 Share Posted September 8, 2013 We were on the Dawn in July and the steward could not open the partitions due to fire safety regulations. They had opened for us on Carnival so I was surprised they couldn't on NCL. No big deal though, just a minor inconvenience. My family of 5 had a great time so we booked the GEM while on board.

lostone65 Posted September 8, 2013 Author #12 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Sorry you did not receive the answer you wanted. :rolleyes: I'm ok with not receiving the answer I wanted. I am the curious sort and since I got a few different answers I want to find out which are correct. I figured others would want to know also. I'm always ok with a"No you can't do that" as long as I know the reasoning behind it. :D Sent from my SCH-I545 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Fire hazard seems to be the answer from most. It will in no way impact my fun and enjoyment with it closed. I already have another cruise booked after this one and I'm in the process of researching for August 2014.
