are firewalls bad?

[silverjoe]

We are sailing on 7/14 on the Island Princess to Alaska. We are in cabin C335. I have seen some discussion about firewalls between cabins where the numbers jump, for example between cabin c335 and c401. Besides not being able to open the divider between the cabins, which I don't care about since I don't know the people in the next cabin, is there any other downside to having one of these cabins. Or is this a good thing, because you have more insulation between you and the next cabin. If anyone has any idea or experience with this, please let us know.

 

Thanks

The firewall should protect you from a fire originating on the other side of it.

I'll take the firewall anytime.

For a moment I assumed this was a computing question !!!:eek:

we have been next to a firewall on the Royal, and we never heard a sound from the cabin on the other side.
