Millenium Stateroom Power and A/C

[jbcallender]

Does Millenium have the gizmo that requires you to put your seapass or another card in the slot to activate your stateroom A/C and electricity?

[bigbenboys]

no

[RTShaker]

AC and power are on all the time

[SoloAlaska]

Also great amount of outlets and USB outlets on Millennium. Loved the staterooms on this ship, they were well designed.

[jbcallender]

That is great to know.  My last cruise on NCL was most irritating with this feature.  I just kept a hotel key I had in the slot the whole time.

No key card slots and all the beds have plugs and USB on the nightstands. Lots of power in the Millie cabins.

 Not exactly true as it depends on the room type.
 

In the Sky Suite we had on deck 6, the outlet was on the wall behind the nightstand.  There was no outlet on the nightstand itself.

Thanks for the info, we have a Sky Suite on the TransPac in September and after our cruise two weeks ago in a lesser category, I was hoping they were all somewhat similar. I will bring the extension cord now!

Don't bring your own extension cord. Ask your cabin steward for one.

here is a picture of the nightstand on the right side of the bed. 
 

 

I sleep on the left and used a mult port adapter vice an extension cord.

 

as @alcpa1 said, do not bring an extension cord, chances are good it will get taken and held to the end of the cruise.

I normally take a standard white 10 foot indoor cord and it's never been taken. I normally use it to mount my fan on the ceiling. In the cabin we just had on Millie...that lamp on the nightstand had an outlet and USB on the side of it....both sides of the bed.

Our Sky Suite, #6100, did not.  Not sure why they did not use the same lamps for the Sky Suites and hopefully they’ll change before we sail on her again next May.

Did you find the lifeboats on 5 a hinderance to your balcony view? We are in 6099 on our next cruise, similar location on the port side.

You have been lucky not to have been caught with an extension cord. If they do see it in your carry-on luggage as it goes through x-ray, they will probably take it. Even in your check luggage it may be confiscated. Much easier to request one from Special needs ahead of time and have it in your state room waiting for you and not risk having your luggage delayed.

Extension cords are on the “do not bring” list

 

 

[neverlaysup]

I'm aware of the policy but that usually applies to power strips or power cords with a circuit or fuse built in. The same 10 foot plain jane extension cord has been in my carryon for the last 2 years (20 cruises) and I have never been questioned about it. The only thing they have confiscated from us was my DW's hair straightener (returned to her by the Captain and First Officer with apologies after a properly directed email).

[Alakegirl]

I’m confused. So they list “no extension cords” but they don’t mean “no extension cords”?

Easier to say 'no extension cords' than to explain which ones are not a problem and which ones are...

How do you mount your fan on the ceiling.

With a magnet??? How is that allowed?

I use magnetic hooks....why would it NOT be allowed?

Only when looking straight down.  But we did spend a lot of time sitting on our balcony just watching the waves.  Saw a lot of flying fish and dolphins.
