What is the switch on the desk on the Crown Princess? (Has a red & green light)

[azsunshine]

We were just off of the Emerald, and ours was on the wall behind our bed. Nowhere near the plugs on the desk. My DH was wondering what it is as well. He thought it was a camera!! :eek: Should have asked someone.

 

We just got off the Emerald on Saturday. In our Caribe deck balcony cabin it was right next to the three plugs to the right of the desk. It has a soft plastic cover over it. I meant to ask, and I forgot.

If you had flippped it you would have found out it makes the bed vibrate...

 

 

As hard as those beds are it would have vibrated the whole room!

We had something like that on our HAL cruise last year. It was a switch to allow the in-room speaker to be shut off so we wouldn't have to listen to announcements. Came in handy when we wanted a daytime nap. Of course the emergency system would still work if needed.

 

I wonder if it's something like that?

 

I bet you are right! did it have a cover over it of plastic?

[Cruise Gopher]

As another poster has said, it is NOT used to turn the in cabin speaker on and off. Announcements are not aired inside the cabin like they are on other cruiselines.

 

I sure hope someone knows or can find out soon.

 

The smarty pants responses are keeping the thread alive but are tired and not getting the question answered.

its for airconditioning red is hot and green is cold

i will be on the crown in January if no one has figured it out by then. I wondered about it on my last cruise!

[gopher's girl]

Ok, Just got off the Crown - could not figure it out!

Did you ask?

[Sunbeam56]

Just got off the Crown and I asked our Cabin Steward and he told us it was an emergency light in case there was no electricty on the ship and it was dark we could still find our way around in the cabin.

 

Does that make sense? The light seems pretty small.

I have a picture of it but I don't know how to post it.

I can't believe no one has figured this out yet. It is pretty obvious - it is a 'get lucky' light. Generally set to red, but diamonds, spa visits and a husband in a tuxedo on formal night usually turn it back to green.

Then why two colors?

What, nobody's figured it out yet?

 

The switch is probably just to change the color of the light between red & green, and to see how many people would ask about it on Cruise Critic.

 

Seriously, though, there is a small light under it (?) that didn't come on when you flipped it. It looked to be some type of emergency light.

Stop flicking the switch!!!!

Steady Green (Blue)...clear view

Flashing Green (Blue) ... clouds due

Steady Red .... rain ahead

Flashing Red .... snow instead

I bet that is familiar only to Bostonians

I was going to ask the same question - but in reference to the "Get Lucky Switch" comment. That reminded me of a military buddy who had just bought a new home - and we went over to see it. In the master bedroom, on the bed, was a small pillow that read "Not Tonight." I asked him what was on the other side - he said he didn't know!!!

[old grey mare]

I saw my DH fiddling with it, so I ask him and he said it pulled out and there was a light inside that you could use as a spot light on small print

Said he thought it also magnified things.

This thread is almost amusing, but not the people that are trying to be.

[Crusin Karen]

Hmmm....94 posts about this and we still are no closer to the truth. Tell ya what...I will volunteer to go back on the ship and solve the mystery forever so we can all sleep better at night. Everyone who replied to this post-please mail me $10 by check, cash or $ order to cover the cost of the cruise and a few frozen thingys. I promise to report back as soon as I get home. ;)

Dont remember seeing this on the Tahitian Princess - is it only on the bigger ships??

 

It looks like a call button for medical assistance or maybe it is to summon your cabin steward.

Why didn't You just ask your Room Steward?
