sromano516 Posted April 3, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 3, 2017 We are sailing April 9th on Anthem, have two rooms booked for us and the kids (grand suite and balcony room). They are next to each other, we couldn't get connecting room at the time we booked. My question is... can the balcony divider be opened so we can at least share one balcony?

Poohb Posted April 3, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 3, 2017 We have had the balcony 'door' between our cabin and our friends' cabin opened by the stateroom attendant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The balcony divider can open, with the approval of ship's management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks how does one go about getting the approval can you get that before you depart we have 3 joining rooms and would like to have a single balcony which when we booked got told could be done now just need it done thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ask your stateroom attendant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcell Posted April 11, 2017 #6 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Just ask your room attendant -- that's what we did. Funny, it seems to be (withmy experience) a RCCL thing that they will do that -- NCL, and Disney won't. But their dividers are weird -- the divider was more like a door with a door frame, so if opened, you have to step over the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sromano516 Posted April 11, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted April 11, 2017 We asked our steward and she took care of getting approval. We asked her at the time of embarking and by Day 2, she opened the balcony (when she made up the room in the morning).

However, realize the entire dividers do not open only about half so it is more of an opening between balconies that you can walk through.

Ocean Dancer Posted April 11, 2017 #10 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I posted "YES" to this very same question about a year ago and was flamed by some top and long time posters, not BOB, that I was ill informed and the only way the balcony could be open was with a hack saw. I know that this new ship has not seen any rehab and it makes me feel good that this post came up. I hope those ignorant posters are reading this. Many are still active, but have not posted, nor flamed on this thread. So, yes, those balcony doors can be opened on Anthem.:halo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar King Posted April 11, 2017 #11 Share Posted April 11, 2017 There's a part of me that would like the divider not able to be opened. My brother has the room next to our on an upcoming cruise. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpostman Posted April 11, 2017 #15 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Same thing with us. We had 2 rooms just last march. When we first met our attendant when we first got access to our rooms, he asked us if we had any requests, and the divider was one of them. There was no hesitation at all or mention of getting approval. He just said, "yes sir, no problem.", And it was done by the time we came back from muster. dp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michele.catskill Posted April 13, 2017 #16 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Definitely open that balcony divider. In my cabin the wind blowing thru the dividers made a constant shaking sound - I found it loud but got used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
