HighTech Posted May 1, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Probably gone over a few times here, but I couldnt find it, what does everyone do for alarm clocks, are these provided in the cabins or do you bring your own?

Lynda90 Posted May 1, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 1, 2004 If I needed to wake up early I called the pursers office and left a wake-up call. Lynda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.Oceanlover Posted May 1, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 1, 2004 I don't know about Princess because I don't cruise until June but on Carnival you can program the phone to wake you. Hopefully some of the Princess regulars could shed some light. Bill Caribbean Princess Eastern Caribbean cruise page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.S.Oceanlover Posted May 1, 2004 #6 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Chris, That wouldn't help me. I have one in my bedroom with about 2 inch illuminated numerals and i can't tell what time it is until I put on my glasses. blind as a bat Bill Caribbean Princess Eastern Caribbean cruise page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqueline Posted May 1, 2004 #7 Share Posted May 1, 2004 There are no alarm clocks in any rooms on any of the ships I have been on. The other thing to keep in mind, is that if you are in an inside cabin it is DARK. If you need to find your way to the bathroom etc, it is a good idea to bring a small nite light.

GloriaF Posted May 1, 2004 #8 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Bring your own if you want them, they are not provided. Don't know about the phone settings since we've never used them. I always bring a travel clock. Like you, Chris, I have a "thing" about knowing what time it is when I wake up. Count how many more hours I can sleep, I guess. I never set the alarm, tho. As for nite lights, we always have a window minimum, but I sometimes leave the bathroom light on and push the door almost closed until we get used to navigating a new space. Of course on the Regal we were rocking & rolling so much, the door would just swing open by itself. The lights from the hall seem to sneak in around the door closures, too.

CaptData Posted May 1, 2004 #9 Share Posted May 1, 2004 As stated above the phone in all rooms can give you a wakeup call. I leave the light on in the bathroom. I also turn the above bed light on when I wake up automaticaly as I'm disabled and need my canes.

cruisingfreak Posted May 1, 2004 #10 Share Posted May 1, 2004 On the Princess ships we've been on & that's 10 so far, you program in the time of the wake up call. As for the nite light, my DH & I each have mini flashlights, that we use when traveling. Keep it by our bedsides on the ship. Minette 11 Cruises Down Next Up......

HighTech Posted May 1, 2004 Author #11 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Thanks for all the reponses, looks like we will be bringing our own travel clock anyway. As for the light we have an outside with Balcony on the Caribe Deck. 5/29 Caribbean Princess Cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue d. miller Posted May 1, 2004 #12 Share Posted May 1, 2004 I am the one with the inside cabin, and you are right, it is pitch black. We take a lighted alarm clock. I like to know the time, and DH likes to get to the bathroom in one piece. Sue 7 days on Star Princess 10/24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beryl Posted May 1, 2004 #13 Share Posted May 1, 2004 My DH's watch has an alarm feature! If we have to get up early to meet a shore excursion time, we back up the alarm by asking for a wake up call!

Lynda90 Posted May 1, 2004 #14 Share Posted May 1, 2004 What does the "D" stand for in "DH"? (Dear, Dumb, Dummie, Darling). Just joking with the derogatory remarks. But am serious about what it stands for. Thanks, Lynda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue d. miller Posted May 1, 2004 #15 Share Posted May 1, 2004 It stands for Dear, but can also work for any of the above. Sue 7 days on Star Princess 10/24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob&karen Posted May 1, 2004 #17 Share Posted May 1, 2004 We bought a VERY compact Sony CD player / alarm clock just for cruising - not only can you tell what time it is in the middle of the night, but you can listen to your essential Jimmy Buffett collection while sipping toddies on the balcony. Sony CD Player Bob "These moments we’re left with - may you always remember These moments are shared, by few And those harbor lights, lord they’re coming into view We’ll bid our farewells much too soon So drink it up, this one’s for you - Honey, it’s been a lovely cruise." -- James W.
