Candle Alternatives?

[Leo Jay]

Given that candles are a safety hazard, can anyone suggest a good, tasteful electrical alternative for romantic lighting, should one opt for room service one evening? ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And no debates about smuggling please -- all it takes for disaster to break out is being distracted for "just a second" -- at precisely the moment the ship suddenly encounters rough waters.

Glow sticks. (No not the green ones.) :D

Are they the plastic tubes that you bend to break something inside so the light activates? What's in those things? Would those be considered safe/permissible to take on board? Where do you get them?

[palmtre2]

That's not a bad idea - if it survives the beating your luggage takes. You can usually get them at any party store. They would make a nice nite lite for the kiddies too.

QVC sells battery operated candles. They look like the real thing and give off a scent. They come in packs of three. I have them in my living room and everyone is amazed to find out they aren't really lit. QVC.com

Bending them releases one chemical into another creating a chemical reaction. They are not on Carnival's list of prohibted items. Pack them between a couple of layers of clothes the keep them flat during transport. You may even be able to bring some candle holders that they will stand up in.

Ah, too seldom... far too seldom. :D

Everything here had been pretty much on point, though...

What Cotton is referring to is simply that the limited cabin service menu does not lend itself to anyone's concept of a romantic meal.

wow ! thanks so much for the link !!!:)

[Leo Jay]

Thanks for the info, but I'm not sure I like the look of those... maybe I'll have to spring for the Brookstones.

 

Thanks to everyone for the information thus far. If anyone has other suggestions, let me know.

Those really do look cool. And thanks Hootsie, for providing all the related product numbers, but I think the basic set of 3 looks the best. Too bad I don't have time to order them. I wonder if I could find them in one of those "As Seen On TV" retail outlets... Otherwise, I might just have to spring for the Brookstones, because the glow sticks aren't quite the look I was looking for.

just saw some cute battery powered flickering tea lights. . .5 for about $5.
