I have been on many cruises and the only time I have seen cabin windows that opened is when you have a balcony/veranda cabin and that's actually the sliding balcony door. All others the windows are sealed shut.

No, ocean view windows do not open.

Here are a couple of pictures of the Carnival Glory ...

You will note that above the life boats (a good sixth feet above the water line) are the balcony cabins (cabins with doors that open to the ocean). Below the lifeboats are ocean view cabins. Also the forward facing cabins are ocean view cabins.

The ocean view cabins on the side of the ship are too close to the water. Even a small wave could come into the cabin if the window was open.

The forward facing cabins have to take waves large enough to go over the bow. Again, too much danger of the water coming into the cabin if the window was open.

The reason ocean view windows do no open is to prevent water from coming into the cabin, which would change it from an ocean view cabin to an ocean experience cabin.

The is no such thing as an opening window on any modern cruise ship particularly on the hull. Ocean view cabins can have portholes, (lower decks), square windows, (mid decks) and floor to ceiling window (higher decks). The windows are integral part of the hull watertight integrity and are not designed to open.
There are doors on balcony cabins which allow access to the balcony but these are all above the promenade deck.

Depends where on the ship you are... I think. I've taken one cruise on Carnival, and our window didn't open.


Erin M
No you can't but for the most part i don't think you would want it open. It can be pretty windy. It gives you a really nice view though! :)


MomSezNo
No. Balcony cabins have doors to the balcony; otherwise, no access from the room to "fresh air" from outside the ship.

you can't,no matter what ship you are riding
