Why do the balcony doors on the Cunard Queens not slide? The doors are heavy and difficult to open sometimes, and the sound of balcony doors slamming shut is something you get used to. Getting through the door while carrying things can be tricky.
My recent silversea trip has revealed the wonders of a silently sliding door, that you can leave wide open, or leave ajar. It makes it easy to, for instance, take your breakfast out to the balcony. How can they do it, and Cunard cant? I see even the brand new QA doesn't have sliding doors.
