Hall light in room

[sunviking90]

We find this light way too bright. We use the throw pillows to block the night table lights and ask our room steward to have the closet light disabled.

Are you & others aware that, if asked, your room steward can turn it off?

Just use the throw pillows from the bed.

I can think of a lot different things to throw at them than pillows 🤣

I was on the Sky in January and there was no motion detection lights in my cabin unless the cabin attendant turned them off.

I didn't mind the bedside lights but the hall light was really bright. And then it would go off when I needed light. Very annoying. I would much rather it was operated with a switch. We always bring tea lights for the bathroom.

I’m aware. I think that’s what I said we had done.

We didn't have any auto lights on Sapphire? Is this on most ships? What about Enchanted? Always have bandaids I guess if needed. 

The Enchanted did not have the auto lights when we sailed on her this past January. Glad to hear the Sapphire does not have the auto lights as we sail on her this October.

We do the same...3 tea lights in the restroom works well. I don't remember have the automatic lights on the Discovery. Guess I'll need to take extra batteries for our upcoming 14 day one on the Caribbean along with some painters tape 🤣

I've found that Celebrity actually does it right for night lighting. The Solstice had a weak blue light constantly in the bathroom, with a tiny orange light next to the door. I got off the Apex on Saturday, which had a faint light under the lowest bathroom counter, so I could see the toilet. I use a white noise app on my ipad with a faint clock that gives me enough light to get to the bathroom. I was on the Koningsdam in December, which also follows the foolish double bright lights, which even blankets pulled near the floor can activate. It's disappointing that Princess promotes the sleep specialists who designed their bed, but then they include lights that actively discourage falling back asleep. At least they don't have the motion-activated bright floor lights on steps in the theater--yet.

Our experience on the Ruby:

 

Bedside light: When we first embarked it came on very often and was very annoying. By evening it did not come on at all automatically. I do not know if it was because I accidentally blocked it or for some other reason, but I was very happy for it to never come on.

 

Hallway light: Mixed-emotions here. I welcomed it when not sleeping as I did not have to use a lightswitch when I wanted to access the clothes shelving or the hanging clothes. Absolutely hated it at night as it was much too bright for me. We plug in a 6 watt night light in the bathroom and with the door open that provides enough light to find the bathroom at night.

Thanks. I don't see how that light could affect someone sleeping.

 

I remember on our previous cruises I had to walk slow because it was so dark.  I'm glad they have put night lights in for us old un's.

 

The clothes on hangers swinging back and forth seemed to be setting it off on my last.  I pulled some painter's tape out of my tool kit and covered the sensor. When I needed the light, I just reached up and twisted the tape and the light would come on.

Its still better to have a that light as an option then no light without having to turn on the main cabin light.

Yes, the walk-in closet. The light is in the ceiling near the bathroom door. The sensor faces the bathroom door and the door swings right under it when opened.

And sometimes, it just comes on in the middle of the night because the ship is moving.  Must be the hangers in the closet .. or maybe not?  
It’s just so annoying …

 

So, the ones on the Ruby are covered perfectly with a plastic box from grocery store mushrooms.  I originally brought them just to have containers for my stuff on a cruise.  They are lightweight and disposable, filled with stuff while packing.  So, my DH discovered the snug up very securely on that light and we remove it during the day.  I always take a small and not very bright motion light for the bathroom because even that bathroom light tends to be way too bright in the middle of the night.  We put those little decorative pillows in front of the nightstand lights, even though those aren’t nearly as annoying.  

Now, that grocery store mushroom box doesn’t fit on all the different lights they put on different ships.  We take the larger Costco ones for the Royal. Lol
