Balcony doors open all night?

Never said that at all.  Way back at the beginning of this topic, many were claiming that the sign says certain things, which it does not.

Apparently, many people on this thread think that the only way this would be legitimate is if the sign said, "Hey, dumbass, do not leave your balcony door open in the daytime or in the nighttime.  You screw up everyone else's airconditioning, as well as your own." 

 

 

... and that is why we have lawyers and so many lawsuits.  That Tide laundry detergent packaging didn't say I couldn't eat it....

LMAO to this comment.

 

The Chief has posted about the ramifications many times about leaving the door open and I fully understand it.  I think your suggestion for the sign is a good idea based on some of the responses in regards to the existing signage no matter the ship or line.

It may be harmful if swallowed

This sounds like nonsense the cruise line tells you to discourage the practice.  I can't imagine why anyone would design the system that way.  Not going to be convinced without a better source than someone on a message board...

I was going to say urban legend my self, but I guess that isn't accurate.     The only time I left my balcony door open all night was when we were under the solarium on Allure when they had a dance party till 3am, all we could hear in our room was a heavy base beat till 3am.  Opening the balcony the wave noise drowned it out.  It was only about 72 outside that night.

If you are referring to me, you as well as the others who are piling on, are jumping to a lot of conclusions.  I also do not appreciate your attack, not what I would expect from you.

And unfortunately you would still have people saying my vacation I will do what I want. 😡

I could have quoted you if I wanted to.  I didn't.  🙂

I have a contact in the printing industry that could have this printed as a glass decal for less than a penny each.  If I supply them, will you put them on?  I’d even help... but people would still ignore it and do whatever pleases themselves.

Some people are just too thick or selfish to believe all the qualified responses to this. After all it's THEIR VACATION and they don't give a tinker's dam....😣

So how are people supposed to know this? Not every cruiser reads CC and there is nothing the cruise line communicates to people about it.

It’s posted in your room to keep the door shut, what more do you need to know?

The way it is posted it reads like a request. Like a hotel that says “please turn the lights off when not in the room” or “please set the AC to 74 when not in your room.” And any non-die hard cruiser will read that and think it’s nit a big deal. 

 

And lets be real if if this was a major problem for Royal (or if they cared about it) they would do a much better job of communicating that to people.

Do you leave your balcony door open when cruising the Caribbean?

Actually only about 50% of what he says.... 🤔

It seems some stuff is really outdated... 🙄

Therein lies the very problem.  He’s an industry expert and is currently a chief engineer on a ship. Yet, no matter what he says, if it goes against what others WANT to do, they’ll discard every word. Sad.

I guess the same can be said for those who ignore the hand washing stations or use their fingers to pick through food in the buffet trays.

When we cruised in April one year we did on the last night. We hadn’t thought about doing it before then. 

 

We tried in July but it was way too hot.

Maybe they assume that people that can afford to pay for a balcony room would be smart enough to read the signage posted on the door and realize that it also applies to them.

Like so many who have posted on here, we enjoy sleeping with the balcony doors open!   

[Briecait]

We leave ours open all the time

“Please keep balcony door closed for your own comfort” does not translate to me as a pressing need.

That seems to be exactly what these people did.  Although, as you can see, they were still selfish.  Notice what's on the table.  Oh, and their balcony door is still open. 🙄
