connecting balconies on Glory

[lobo55]

Anyone know where to find which deck 7 regular balconies can have the divider opened on Carnival Glory? Thanks

I believe all balcony dividers can be opened.  We've sailed Glory,  Freedom, Liberty and Valor.  We opened the dividers on all those cruises. We had two cruises where we had two dividers opened. We had 3 cabins in a row.  They had to actually remove one of the dividers because it would have been blocking a door. Just speak to your steward and he/she will hook you up.

Don't know yet but 7381 and 85 are both open the week I'm looking at. Thank you.

Google goccl carnival glory.  You will see a link to cabin info.  It will show which balconies can open to each other.  Not all of them do.  It depends on the configuration of the window & door in relation to the balcony divider.  If the divider swings back, blocking the door, they won't open it.

If that is the case, they can remove the divider completely.  They have done this for us twice on two cruises.

No one ever offered to remove our divider.  We had booked 2 cabins next to each other for the purpose of opening the balcony door & were told that it couldn't be done due to the configuration.  So, I would not rely on being able to have it completely removed.  I wish I could remember which ship that happen to us on.  Since then, we've always checked the goccl site prior to booking balconies.  I've never seen any listed as opening to more than one other cabin.  It could be that there are certain dividers that just cannot be removed and some that can.

Did you ask? We had it removed once on the Glory and once on either Liberty or Valor.

You mean they literaly removed the divider completely? If so, that’s a SOLAS violation and should never be expected (or even requested).

Look, all i can tell you is that we had this done.  The first time we had 3 cabins in a row, we had two open and the third they couldn't because the partition blocked the door.  The steward suggested they remove the partition all together.  So they did.  The second time we had 3 cabins in a row, we knew to request they remove one of the partition and guess what??? They did. If I can find a picture, I will post it.  What else do you want me to say? We didn't know anything about regulations or violations, we just agreed to what the steward suggested.

My husband and I like our privacy and wondering if the balcony on the glory have dividers that make it private. This sounds crazy but our 1st cruise we had people climbing across from room to room on balcony. It was of course on a much older and now retired boat but since then we only have booked cove balcony for privacy. If anyone has a picture of there balcony please post!

Here is a picture of our balcony. We asked the steward if our divider could be opened and he had maintenance come and they completely removed it in less than ten minutes. The red circles on the left are where the divider rested and the arrow points to the post it was secured to.

I don't have a picture to show you but they are not private.  Anyone can look around the divider.  Also be careful in what you say out there.  You can hear every conversation from your neighbors.

We were in 8376, 8378 and 8380 on Liberty.  Like @dmdiver said, it won’t work for all cabins. The partition between 8376 and 8378 wouldn’t work because opening the partition in 76 would block the balcony door in 78. The partition between 78 and 80 were fine.  You’ll  need the balcony door-window (cabin1)-window-balcony door (cabin2) configuration for it to work.  Our window-balcony door (cabin1)-balcony door-window(cabin 2) configuration was the problem.    I hope that made sense.   Check YouTube for videos.
