Odd Cabin Question

[MerriWthr]

I've only ever taken a Disney cruise (1) and I have a question about the cabin. On the Disney cruises, in order to have the lights and A/C on - you have to put your room key in a slot inside the door. Is it the same on RCI cruises??? I know that when we did the Disney cruise, we were able to use a random key card (like a hotel or credit card) to keep lights and/or A/C on when not in the cabin. Is it the same on RCI cruises? Specifically the Indy??

 

Just wondering what to expect (and whether to put an extra hotel/parking key card in my bag). Thanks!

No card needed. RCI let you burn their electricity. Lucky as I have the air con blasting form the minute I get on:p

Lucky you Aussie! with me it's a constant fight with my mom if i end up sharing a room with her. You would think we were in alaska instead of the Caribbean because she likes to turn the heat up! :(

I did a trip last year with a friend not my daughter 9who is my usual room buddy). I warned her to bring her winter PJ's as the room would be cold!:p And it was!

Thanks, everyone! It's good to know I can create my own "meat locker" in our cabin!! I think I'll bring an ice scraper for the balcony doors.... :rolleyes:

I like your sense of humor! :p :D

Just as a side note, somewhat close to the OP's subject. :)

 

Some ships are equipped with a mechanism that will turn off the cabin's air conditioning if the balcony is open.

Those card things confuse me!!!

 

I clearly don't travel enough as I just stand there wondering why the lights don't work...have luckily never got as far as ringing maintenance about it!!! :rolleyes:
