Deck 10, Cabin 10422

We used the connecting door to our advantage

My wife and I met another couple at the piano bar on night one. They were in the cabin next to ours, connected by one of those interior doors that are supposed to be locked. By night three we had become genuinely close friends. Night four, after an excessive amount of champagne, someone discovered the connecting door was unlocked. What followed was the most memorable evening of our fifteen-year marriage. We opened both balcony doors and created one giant cabin stretching across two balconies. We drank wine, told stories until 4am, and watched the sunrise together. When I say we connected with them I mean emotionally — we talked about things we'd never told anyone. We still vacation with them every year. That unlocked door changed our lives.
