Rare ghstudio Posted November 22, 2011 #3 Share Posted November 22, 2011 yes, I take my wife. As I recall, there is no alarm clock in the room, however there is wake up service on the phone. I would invest in a $10 battery operated alarm for travel and always take it on trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted November 22, 2011 #4 Share Posted November 22, 2011 No clock, but your phone displays the time. It is also displayed on at least one of the tv channels, as I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muushka Posted November 22, 2011 #5 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Yes, it may be displayed on the phone, but can you read it in the middle of the night! Not me. We bring an alarm clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJJ Posted November 22, 2011 #6 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Yes, it may be displayed on the phone, but can you read it in the middle of the night! Not me. We bring an alarm clock. For those of you with IPhones or IPads try this alarm clock app. I have used it on several cruises. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/alarm-clock-pro/id335678373?mt=8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamasue Posted November 22, 2011 #7 Share Posted November 22, 2011 We always use the wake-up service on the phone in the room.... Never had a problem!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backyardponder Posted November 22, 2011 #8 Share Posted November 22, 2011 We bring our small plug in alarm clock so we can see the time at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We put my phone on airplane mode so that there is no accidental connections when we're out of the US. Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Booper Posted November 23, 2011 #12 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Brookstone sells an alarm clock that projects the time on the ceiling as well as the faceplate. Easy to see in the darkened cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always put it in airplane mode when I'm out of the country and I've never had a problem. I also go into the Settings and manually change the time.

Freecall Posted November 23, 2011 #14 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I find the clock in the phone by the bed ideal. Can't really think what else you might want the clock to do apart from tell you the time and (perhaps) wake you up. What's more it will always display ship's time so no more confusion about time changes. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1A Posted November 23, 2011 #15 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I like this! Who needs the racket of an alarm clock on vacation. Yuck! The loud ring of the cabin phone is an equally annoying racket on vacation, but sometimes you need to get up on time, your method may vary from mine but an alarm clock from home not only does the trick it also allows us to know what time it is when you awaken in the middle of the night. Prior to bringing a bedside illuminated alarm clock we had to fumble for our glasses and pick up the phone to know what time it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1celt Posted November 23, 2011 #16 Share Posted November 23, 2011 If you do forget to bring a clock (or if it is on the other side of the bed) there is a way to view the phone's clock in the dark. Just pick up the receiver and the display lights up for the next couple of minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luv-2-cruise Posted November 23, 2011 #18 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I tried several times to get the wake up call feature on the phones to work on our recent Silhouette cruise to no avail. Bring an alarm clock if getting up on time is important to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy G Posted November 23, 2011 #19 Share Posted November 23, 2011 My advice is to bring your own alarm clock as well. Sometimes you do need to awaken early for excursions and such. We just disembarked the Century earlier this month and were in a Royal Suite. The clock on the wall was ALWAYS 10-15 minutes slow. There was no manual way to change it and it drove me crazy. Also, I wouldn't rely on the telephones. Sometimes they will not function properly. For example, the most recent cruise we didn't have voicemail capabilities. This was a shipwide problem. So bottom line, if it's important to you, bring your own. We bring ours with a CD player for music in the cabin. It did make us wonder about the possibility of the Century being rumored as "sold" and the reason for malfunctions. It didn't seem to be on anyone's priority list to fix.

MaritimeGuy Posted November 24, 2011 #21 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Yes, it may be displayed on the phone, but can you read it in the middle of the night! Not me. We bring an alarm clock. Lift the receiver, the screen lights up for about thirty seconds, voilà! With airlines charging the proverbial arm-and-leg for extra baggage, anything I don't absolutely have to pack stays home :D Besides, I live by the clock forty hours a week... Don't need to tell time when I'm on vacation! Cheers, Luc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to just bring my trusty alarm clock ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted November 24, 2011 #23 Share Posted November 24, 2011 That wouldn't help the posters who have slept through their Connections party (or worse yet, if you slept late and missed a shore excursion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaritimeGuy Posted November 24, 2011 #24 Share Posted November 24, 2011 That wouldn't help the posters who have slept through their Connections party (or worse yet, if you slept late and missed a shore excursion). It takes about 15 seconds to set-up a wake-up call on the phone. I've yet to miss a shore excursion or party! Cheers, Luc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
