We are traveling with friends who have cabins next to ours can we remove the side panel so we can be together on our balconies?

You can ask the Cabin Steward to open them with certain key/wrench to fold open.

 

They do not get removed totally from our experience.

 

They are bolted on to the rest of the panel.

 

You do have to secure them from flapping due to weather conditions and winds..

In BklynBoy8's photo, it's the narrow part close to the stateroom wall that can be folded back. You can just make out the round chrome latch port that the tool fits into.
There are some exceptions - where the ship has firebreaks and self-closing doors (normally held open magnetically) in the passageways, those fire breaks extend out to the walls between staterooms and they don't have doors that can be opened. You can see these on the deck plan, such as the wider spaces between 6086 and 6088 and between 6083 and 6085 in the excerpt below.
