Can we control stateroom temperature?

[ItzRav]

We're sailing on Eclipse this Saturday. Do the staterooms have temperature controls so we can make the room cooler or warmer as desired? Thanks.

Yes, they have a thermostat. Sometimes they work well, sometimes they don't.

And sometimes you need to go to engineering school to figure out the thermostat.

We seem to find the extremes of the thermostat. Like it not sometimes and cold others (on same trip). If I remember correctly there is a way to keep the fan running. Great for white noise while sleeping.

We have not had a problem with thermostats on the S-class ships. They seemed to work pretty well from our experiences.

my thoughts exactly :)

Very easy to use and effective has been my experience. Re the post above there isn't a way to keep the fan running. It just cuts in when the set temperature needs to maintained.

I've always been impressed with how well the A/C works on Celebrity ships. The only exception would be the aging Century. Up on deck 12, port side, there were issues on our last cruise. The hallways were hot and our cabin would never cool down to a comfortable temperature. We called several times and talked to our cabin steward, but things really never improved.

 

We are returning to the Century in April and we moved our cabin location down to deck 9 to avoid having the same problem.

 

A/C issues were one of our main reasons for giving up on Holland America ships. Their smaller ships are notorious for having A/C issues.

 

Enjoy!

Although some might not agree, a very viable option is to turn off the a/c and open the door.

No way would I do that on a Caribbean cruise. Open balcony door = heat, humidity and insects.

There is no on/off switch, at least i did not find it on my last two cruises (S-Class).

That has never been our experience. As a matter of fact, we find the fresh sea air to be very refreshing. Also, humidity is very good for the sinuses and the skin. This has been our aproach on about 30 cruises.

as long as you switch of the A/C, yes - if not you create problems in your neighborhood staterooms ...

I've always wondered if the controls in the rooms actually work or are they just placebos?

We went to an environment lecture on Eclipse last year, the environment officer stated that A/C controls in the cabin cannot be switched off, and setting them at max or min just fouls up the room. His recommendation was to make minor changes to the thermostat, this is the most effective way to control your room temp.
