Balcony doors

[sgrho96]

We've booked a balcony stateroom on the Miracle - first time! - and was wondering if the doors were difficult to prop open. Thanks in advance.

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.

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

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.

Bungee Cord - it's the only way.... and on day seven, you'll finally remember not to trip over the step going out! :rolleyes:

what's your sail date?....(and we used the bungee on the Triumph)

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.

We sail tomorrow which has me anxious with Ernesto out there.

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:

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!

I used a deck chair on the Miracle to keep mine open. The Miracle is a great ship have fun
