Connecting Doors

[KAKcruiser]

Our family will be in two adjoining cabins with connecting doors which we would like to leave open.  Does anyone know if the doors will just stay open or do they slam shut in rough weather?  Should I bring door stops?

If the seas make the ship rock, the doors could shut on their own, especially if the ship is pitching and dipping. 
The cabin stewards have rubber door stops they use to prop the cabin doors open when they clean. They may have an extra or two they can lend you. Bringing your own is certainly an option.

I brought my own door stops, but I had to use two stacked on top of one another because the gap under the door was higher than one doorstop.

Just use a shoe you aren't wearing.

Thanks for the info.  CruisinNana, do you remember how high the gap was?  I could get a higher door stop.

Just set the doorstop on its side, between the side of the door and the door jam, to keep the doors propped open. 
Remember, each cabin will have a door. 

You might also just consider bringing a couple of strips of a heavy tape to tape the locks open. Be sure to remove before you disembark, though.

Bring a rubber door stop.  That is what they use when cleaning rooms.  They wedge it at the top of the door frame

I do not remember, but some great suggestions followed my solution!

When the rooms are cleaned they use the doorstop at the top of the door.  They use a triangular wedge that is about 3 inches deep at the widest.  I borrowed one for a cabin crawl
