chuckyb Posted August 26, 2006 #2 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I took the Legend a few days ago and I think the balcony door opened outwards. My mom says she tried to prop it open, but the door kept closing. The only way to keep the door open, would be to put a piece of luggage in front of it.

serene56 Posted August 26, 2006 #3 Share Posted August 26, 2006 keeping the balcony door opens shuts off your airconditioning also. We stuck a towel in the door jamb to keep it opened for a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance. The doors are quite heavy, but not difficult to prop open with the door wedge the cabin steward uses. Or do as we did - take a bungee cord to hook the door to the balcony. By the way the balcony doors slam hard and loud - so hold the handle as it closes - your neighbours will appreciate it. Payd:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karried Posted August 26, 2006 #5 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Bungee Cord - it's the only way.... and on day seven, you'll finally remember not to trip over the step going out! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seajay312 Posted August 26, 2006 #7 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Yes, bungee cord is definitely the best and easiest way to go. Once you have used it, it will be an essential on every cruise. Don't leave home without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b714210 Posted August 27, 2006 #9 Share Posted August 27, 2006 We just left the Miracle on the 20th with a balcony cabin. I took a bungee cord, but didn't use it. The doors were heavy, and if someone opens your cabin door when the balcony door is open, you get a wind tunnel in your cabin. We had connecting rooms with other group members, people were in and out and stuff was blowing everywhere! The room was too hot and sticky when the balcony doors were open, IMHO.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't leave home without it. I like to sleep with the balcony door open....and YES....I forgot my bungee cord on one sailing.....I know people mention using the door stop but I just stuck a chair against the door and that worked just fine! It does get hot and during the day I always keep the balcony door closed. I only like it open at night. We are sailing then and there is a nice breeze but when I get up in the morning I close that door and put the a/c back on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
