I know this is and old post, but I just found it. My wife and I are on the Silver Whisper this week in one of those shared balconies, cabin #529. Found out that the reason there are no chairs, tables, partitions, etc. is that this is the escape route to two of the lifeboats.

We plan on bringing our chairs and table in and out of our room. Our fare was $900 less that the lowest fare for the lowest price Verandah Suites!!! :eek:

Olivia what did you find out? Did people drag their chairs out from their rooms???
