Lagunachris Posted February 10, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2022 We were on the Whisper in Dec and were surprised to find that there was not a plug in the bathroom for our nightlight. The step up to the bathroom in the dark can at times be challenging. Can someone tell me if the Silver Spirit has a bathroom with an electrical plug? We will be sailing on the Spirit in May. Thanks.

Stumblefoot Posted February 10, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Why didn’t you plug it into the shaver outlet? Surely your night light doesn’t draw much power like an iPad or laptop charger would. Shaver outlets are fairly standard, if limited-power, 110 V AC sources. With that said, hopefully LesB will chime in here as I remember him posting pictures of practically every electrical outlet in a Silver Spirit suite three years ago or so.

jollyjones Posted February 10, 2022 #3 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) I'm sure there is - I have plugged my nightlight in in the bathroom of every SS cruise I've done and that includes several on the Spirit. And the Whisper for that matter, not sure why you didn't find an outlet? It's the shaver socket of course, being a bathroom there isn't, nor would you expect, a 'regular' electrical outlet. Nighlights draw such a small current that the shaver socket is adequate - I have equipped myself with an LED one that is 120v, 0.3w - not much power needed there!

Rare FlyerTalker Posted February 10, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 10, 2022 There are also small LED "tea lights" that can provide a small glow to help you see in the dark, without it being overly bright. I know you can find a pack of them at WalMart and other locations. The advantage is that they are battery powered, so you can place them around the cabin as you wish -- perhaps to illuminate a "path" to your nighttime destination. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagunachris Posted February 10, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Thanks to those who responded, we did not know the shaver outlet could be used. Once in Rome my friend plugged something into the shaver outlet of a small hotel and she blew a fuse -that incident always made us shy away from using the shaver outlet.

jollyjones Posted February 10, 2022 #6 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Something like a hairdryer would definitely blow a fuse but nightlights are usually pretty low wattage. Shaver sockets allow something like 20 - 40 watts, look at your nightlight and see what it draws. My LED light is 0.3 watts, even an old fashioned incandescent bulb would probably only be 4 or 5 watts.

Clodia Posted February 11, 2022 #7 Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) I always take a pack of battery operated LED tealights on cruises. They are just right for the bathroom as you can see where you're going but they're not bright enough to keep you awake.

Useful on airplanes if you need to find something you dropped, in hotel rooms and elsewhere. There are some pretty good ones with enough LED power, available for under $20. And small - maybe 3-4 inches in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough when you go camping....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloopjohnb Posted February 12, 2022 #11 Share Posted February 12, 2022 You may think you're looking for a plug but it's a socket to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyjones Posted February 12, 2022 #12 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I was told they're properly called 'socket outlets'. Or 'plug sockets'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newer ships now have handy low light floor lighting that activates when people get up, to help guide pax from the bed to the bathroom. Note also if you have iphone, you may not even need a separate little flashlight, as there is the iphone "flashlight" app. You can swipe up to activate the icon off the homescreen without even needing face or thumb recognition (depending on your model). So if you have an iphone you always have near you, you always have a flashlight near you (as you noted, light is very handy when dropping things on a plane -- especially into the crevice near the seat, unless what you dropped is the iphone! 😳) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gourmet Gal Posted February 16, 2022 #18 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Apple Watch also has a flashlight though you may be charging it at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
