easteregg7 Posted August 29, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I'm interested in booking a South America cruise around bottom of cape horn. Oceania has a good itinerary that goes to antarctica also. I'd like a balcony room. But I have difficulty sleeping with extraneous light in the room. Antarctica has long daylight hours during thier summer. So my question: does Oceania have good quality black out shades at balcony curtains?

A simple suggestion is to get yourself a very comfy blindfold which you can take with you whenever you travel. Hank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The panels do have a heavy light-blocking lining. Edited August 29, 2021 by KatieBelle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Noxequifans Posted August 29, 2021 #5 Share Posted August 29, 2021 The others who have responded made good suggestions. My experience has been that curtains and light have not been an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mauibabes Posted August 29, 2021 #6 Share Posted August 29, 2021 The clothespins sound like a great suggestion but I can say, our staterooms have always been Black so sleeping and outside light was not an issue. One added suggestion we will make is to bring along a Bungy Cord as we use it to connect the door handle of the bathroom door to the handle of the stateroom entry door. Sometimes the bathroom door can rattle with ocean motion and another benefit, we prefer to have the bathroom door open during the night to make those short trips in the dark easier for venturing out of bed. 👍🤞😁🤪😷 Mauibabes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, we keep that slither of sunlight coming in, an otherwise very dark room, to more easily find the bathroom in the middle of the night. A little light can be safer!!!

Also in Alaska we had an inside cabin and the only light was a sliver under the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
