Goplayball Posted December 31, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Can anyone who's been on the Ecstacy recently update on the heat? Apparently the first of December it wasn't working....brrr Leaving in 11 days and hoping it has been fixed. TIA🌴🍸👙🍷🚢🌞 🍹 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oletruckdude Posted December 31, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I too am curious about this. We have a February cruise on the Ecstacy and it's cold in Charleston in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landonsnanny Posted January 1, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Google it. Our 12 coming up on the sixth,and have never seen/ used/ felt heat on ships. Kind of anxious myself with the cold spell we are having. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audcc77 Posted January 1, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 1, 2018 We sailed mid-December and it was really cold. On the day we boarded it was around 39 degrees. According to our cabin steward and what we observed, there is NO heat. We immediately hopped inside our beds & even took our towels & laid them on top of us. Once our cabin steward arrived & introduced himself, we asked for bathrobes & blankets. It was cold in the common areas as well, and took about 2-3 days going south before we were even starting to feel the warmth. Outside my house right now it is -8 degrees so I'm used to it being cold. I wish I had brought more long-sleeved shirts. It was a lovely 78 degrees in Nassau though, so it was perfect. Hope you have a nice cruise.

casinostreer Posted January 1, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 1, 2018 To the OP - we're on the same cruise (January 11th) and I've heard about the lack of heat. It's still pretty warm in Florida and hopefully we won't be in the cold jet stream for very long. But I'm certainly bringing a mix of warm and cold weather clothes. Might even bring a blanket with me. Anyway - I'm usually hot on a cruise ship - so the cool temperature will be a welcome change for me. But I understand your concern.

Oletruckdude Posted January 1, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Wow. Guess we'd better pack some warm clothes for the sea day down and back to Charleston. Thanks for all the replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicia Posted January 1, 2018 #10 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The Fantasy class ships were built with no heat and just air conditioning since they were built for the Caribbean. Bring warm clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jas1178 Posted January 1, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 1, 2018 If memory serves, only spirit and splendor class ships have heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oletruckdude Posted January 2, 2018 #12 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Are any of the common inside areas heated, casino, dining rooms, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamecock_Cruiser Posted January 2, 2018 #13 Share Posted January 2, 2018 We just got off Saturday! I don't think these older ships have "heat" per say as the same unit is probably used to heat and cool. It was cool when we first boarded, but it was nice by the first afternoon. It was then cool again the last sea day. But, in the summer, we normally have issues with the air not being cool enough, so I will take a little cooler air.

All ships will have some form of heat recovery, where the bathroom exhaust and public space exhaust air is used to heat/cool the incoming fresh air. This is 20% of the space volume per hour. Also, the incoming fresh air has some form of heating, whether electric or steam, as in summer you typically cool the incoming outside air well below the desired delivery temperature to drop the humidity, and then reheat the air to the desired delivery temperature.

So does this mean the indoor areas (Casino, dining Rooms, etc.) are heated? Trying to eat dinner the first night onboard dressed in full winter gear might not be too comfortable.We've been on a dozen cruises before, but never out of Charleston during winter. Just want to be prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted January 3, 2018 #16 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Probably not "heated" as you would know it. There is some heating elements, but not enough to raise 30-40*F outside air to 65-70*F and make up for the heat loss of the superstructure.
