Rare SarahHben Posted February 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I wondered if any of you could please tell me what the lighting is like at the desk/mirror area in Ventura's standard cabins? Is it good enough lighting to do make-up? When we were on Iona last year the desk area was too dark to do my make up there, I had to take it all into the bathroom.

terrierjohn Posted February 25, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 25, 2023 It's the same setup as Iona hidden in a dark corner, however in our accessible cabin the lighting on Iona is much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare david63 Posted February 25, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 25, 2023 According to SWMBO the lighting all cabins of all ships is inadequate for applying warpaint so she has a portable led light that she takes https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lixada-Portable-Sensitive-Adjustable-Brightness/dp/B08424FW8Y/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2I85QN3132DDT&keywords=portable+led+lamp&qid=1677338009&sprefix=portable+led+lamp%2Caps%2C100&sr=8-5 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only my closest family & friends have seen me with naked eyelashes in the last 35 years or so 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not going until August but I like to be prepared 😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesea Posted February 25, 2023 #10 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I've given up trying to put mascara on since I've needed glasses for reading. I tend to get more on the glasses than on my eyelashes🥴 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I have no personal experience with these I am told that they are not as good as having a separate mirror and light. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leomins Posted February 26, 2023 #13 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I find the travel illuminated mirror very good as one side is magnified which I need when not wearing my glasses. I’ve also used it on the balcony, more convenient than a fixed mirror. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fionboard Posted February 27, 2023 #16 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Worst ones are on Britannia dressing tables. Small tilting ones which you cannot see in unless you sit or bend down! Probably designed by a man! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
