Cabin Electric question

[DanBoy]

Was wondering on the ships that you need to place your s and s card in to turn on the lights, when you take the card that doesn't also turn off the wall outlets, ac etc correct??....That would be a bummber...

Nope just the lights. Including the bathroom ;)

Thank You....

I haven't been on a ship that has that feature yet. Can anyone tell me if the Dream has this?

[bride123105]

The Dream does not. The Magic does, and I am guessing probably the Breeze since that came after.

The Breeze does have this feature. Takes a day or two to get use to, but not that much of an inconvenience.

Put any card in the slot and it works. We leave it in all cruise.

Ok ... I'm confused. What is this? Is this some kind of engery conservation thing so you put your sign and sail card somewhere to get your cabin electric to work?

Yes. It's common in European hotels. The idea is it makes the lights turn off when you leave your room since you take your s&s card with you...

Doesnt have to be a card, a piece of paper will work as well.

True, but if you have a spare card it fits perfectly :)

This seems like a poor design by carnival if you can put any card or paper in the slot and the lights stay on for the entire cruise... The idea was to save energy, but by people putting any random card in the slot, the lights stay on all day? wow, seems like it will use more energy not less...

Just the lights you leave on stay on , Not all the lights. Bill

We are very energy conscious in our home anyway. As long as this feature doesn't control the ac it's unlikely we'll even need to put a card in the slot ... except for the bathroom. The cabins are so small that during the day very little electric is needed and we don't have enough time in the evening to just hang out in the cabin!

 

I'm so absent minded that if my sign and sail card does not go back in its designated spot every time, it will be lost ... repeatedly.

Just got off the Magic yesterday and we kept our Sam's Club card in all week. Worked out nicely!

How high up is this slot? Thinking my three year old will have a field day pulling a card out of this all the time...

That is the designated spot for mine so I don't lose it. Not sure what I'm going to do on the Triumph next month! Eek!

yeah, I may be rethinking my "designated spots" :)

 

Is this on every 2.0 ship? I was on the Glory a few years ago and this was not a feature, but it had not been 2.0'd.

Sunshine only has it on the cabins added during the refurb and maybe others that were refurbed, most cabins do not have it. We've sailed on Sunshine twice neither cabin jot this option.

Just the Magic, Breeze and some of the Sunshine, I believe.
