masterty Posted February 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Craziest thing happened yesterday. I came back to my cabin to find an engineer note saying they had been in my cabin. I called no one as everything functioned normally. I later discovered a bedside lamp was changed to a non-swinging lamp. The lamp removed worked fine as I was using it to photograph patters. The one installed to replace the working lamp was now a defective lamp. It would not turn on. That is not the crazy part. The crazy part was they installed the lamp on my phone cord. I can not understand why? I am having a great cruise and I am not going to let this bother me. Just makes no sense. Have a great day everyone.

timtrek Posted February 20, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2017 That's possibly the craziest thing I have seen on here. That would be hard to have been done accidentally. I hope they replace your USB cord. Sent from my SM-G930T using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted February 20, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Looks more likely he bolted the lamp down on top of your USB cord. Metal probably cut the insulation on your wire. Still weird. Power to lamp is supposed to be either plugged in behind the drawer or under the bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterty Posted February 20, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I had the cord plugged into a battery to charge my phone at night. I don't know how he did not see that as he tightened down the broken un-requested replacement lamp. All I can think is that he was in the wrong cabin and did not see the cord. Enjoying the pacific.

Colo Cruiser Posted February 20, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 20, 2017 If you notify them they may repair it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted February 20, 2017 #8 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I would definitely take that picture to customer services. Something like that is idiotic in the extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Traveller Posted February 20, 2017 #9 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I would go to Customer Services and ask to see the Hotel Manager. I think this problem needs to go to higher management than just Customer Services (all due respect to them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonit964 Posted February 21, 2017 #14 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I would be down at Guest services for sure. Plus, it's a bright green cord, how could they not see that?! A little bit scary whoever they are is doing electrical work!:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masterty Posted February 21, 2017 Author #18 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Update: My cabin steward stopped me in the hallway to tell me it was himself who called the engineer because my lamp shade had a stripped out nut that caused the lamp shade to not be secure. The engineer found out about the cord and was terribly sorry and wanted to make it right. I told him I have tons of cords and there was no issue. I do not believe I will pursue this issue any further. New lamp works great and has a tight lamp shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigchid Posted February 21, 2017 #22 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Early in our recent 15 day cruise on the Grand the steward told me engineering was going to repair the toilet paper holder, a screw had fallen out. He did, and later that day the new screw was on the floor, I placed it in plain view on the counter. He then put a pop rivet in the hole and it also found it's way to the floor. At that point he gave up. Makes one wonder, we didn't care one way or the other. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't demand a free cruise to compensate for your emotional stress due to a ruined vacation? Wow, sure passed up an opportunity.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
