- CARNIVAL MAKING A CHANGE IN EVERY STATEROOM SOME LIKE AND SOME HATE.
It's not easy to please everyone. carnival cruise line is finding that out as they are making a change to every stateroom on their ship. It seems like a simple idea but has many people complaining they don;t want this in their staterooms at all.
There is an easy solution to satisfy both parties. Give us the option of turning them on or off. Something along the lines of say a light switch.😊
Well that just makes too much sense, you cut that out !
Now come on....common sense doesn't apply......
Exactly have a switch to turn it off then the cabin steward can ignore it, just turning it back on an turnaround day.
KimberlyStephenson-FL... I agree... but with the stipulation that if you turn off the switch and get hurt walking to the bathroom at night, you can't blame it on the Cruise line, have to pay for medical attention if needed and can't sue them.
I like it! Great safety feature!
We usually just leave the bathroom light on with the door closed. Enough light leaks around and under the door to make finding the bathroom easy.
We do that too. But we’re okay with getting around in the dark anyway
With all due respect, I couldn’t care less what you nor anyone else favors. I cannot have ANY lights, PERIOD! So I cover all that I can!
I like the nightlights. So much safer when you have to get up during the night.
I love the idea! For decades we would leave the bathroom light on and the door left ajar, for a night light. Which was real handy if you were on the top bunk. When I sailed solo I would leave the TV on the channel of the ship cam, with the sound muted, for a night light.
I always just leave the bathroom light on and the door cracked a little. This is not a big deal. Carnival is looking at cruisers safety. We have already experienced this on the Radiance.
Love the nighttime light sensors on Princess. They provide enough light to see, but not so much that I can't easily fall back asleep quickly.
The last couple of Princess ships we have been on ( not new ones) have these lights. For this clumsy 77 year old, they are God sends. No broken toes or split lips. Love them.
Hate the light sensor on Princess. I block them with my pillow or tape. I am a light sleeper, so when my wife gets up I wake up.
On Discovery Princess in May there were dim motion sensitive lights at the bottom of the side tables. Didn't mind those. But on Sky Princess in January it was the overhead light outside the bathroom and it was painfully bright to dark-adjusted eyes. Hated that!
I assume you guys always get an inside cabin, otherwise how do you deal with the sunlight entering the room at 6,30am? I've tried to cpmpletely block it.... but it's impossible... there always will be a little light penetrating...
@@JeremySmith-k6n The overhead light is way to bright at night. Use tape to stop it.
@@JeremySmith-k6n SAME!! Hate that hall light coming on and blinding me!!
As long as the sensors point toward the floor so only feet trigger the lights, and the lights are soft, it is only a GOOD thing and will prevent stubbed toes and trip-and-fall accidents.
We had a room with a night light and covered the sensor with a card. Problem solved.
More plugs yes please
We hate the light sensors on princess. The ones coming into closet/bathroom are so bright it wakes the room up. We cover it up. Yes we bring tape and take it off when we leave.The nightlight under the nightstands, we put those decorative pillows under them. Works great
I think the closest/bathroom is way too bright!!!! Dimmer light would be nice
The full lights ARE annoying. Too much light! But the little under bed ones? Those are fine...and helpful.
Maybe put a little switch by the sensor so passengers can turn the lights off if they want to.
We take small flashlights on every cruise.
That was on the Freedom last weekend. I thought it was a nice addition.
I have had those on Princess before and love it. Yes, while working with electrical, add in some usb ports.
The sensor lights on Princess drove me mad. I toss a bit in my sleep. Everytime I rolled over and moved the bedding the light came on. I was constantly waking up. I understand 1 sensor light near the bathroom but our mini suite had 4 seperate sensor lights.
I agree. On the Discovery, my covers kept turning the lights on. So I, too, covered them.
I like that idea .
And then I understand for light sleepers it’s a problem.
I actually actually like them. Experienced first on Princess and later on some Carnival ships.
Princess Discovery had these kind of lights🥰. Was beneficial to me. Wasn’t very bright.
PSA. Don't plug your phone into the cabin USB port. Bring your own AC charger. Search 'juice jacking' for more info.
I personally would appreciate the light. This just illustrates you can't make everyone happy. :)
Hated them on princess will hate them on Carnival! Awful
Majestic Princess had them on my recent Alaskan cruise and they were wonderful !!
Absolutely. more USB!! As to night lights, we bring our own, we also bring our own fan, we bring a travel power strip (non-ground protected) with plenty of USB and 120v outlets. 😎
I can easily fall asleep with the TV on. I worked midnights for 18 years by choice.
Worked afternoon/nights for over 28 years. I’m down for safety.
I like the idea. We usually leave the bathroom light on and crack the door open. It's a great idea. I'm surprised that the ships that went into dry dock didn't get new outlets or more outlets.
I like the sensor light. I use the bathroom during the night and I like it. I always take a sensor night light for the bathroom also.
Carnival here's an idea- put outlets next to the bed for CPAP's! Step into the 21st century please!
duh…Disney staterooms have a nightlight in the ceiling ……but, they’re “ too expensive”🤪
Oh for the love..... get an eyemask. My hotel room had this last weekend.
Here's the thing.... the cruise lines (and hotels) are getting sued for injuries. If you are that sensitive to light, wear an eye mask. Seriously. Actually sleeping with an eye mask helps keep your eyes from drying out so even if you don't need pitch dark, having an eye mask will keep your eyes happy.
They are SO low level.....it really IS dumb to complain about it.
I swear....the pissy things that people complain about on cruise ships.... you're on a cruise ship and are in the very privileged class to be there. Get an eye mask for $10 or quit making up shizz to be upset about. Or both!
So glad. Cause right now we leave the bathroom light on. I have balance and mobility issues.
Just off Emerald Princess and that had them. The ones next to the bed were a bit of a pain but the one outside the bathroom door turned the main light on. PAIN IN THE...
Anyway as Douglas Adams said "every Hitchhiker needs to know where his towel is"
Next cruise hack, duct tape for the light sensor. Next confiscated item at the cruise check in, duct tape.
I wouldn't mind having motion activated lights in my stateroom as long as they time out quickly.
Had lights on Majestic Princess and the previous people had taped them, which I was fine with. The MAJOR issue is the motion sensor out side the bathroom... full brightness spot light. We HATED it but if we covered it you did not have light in the closet. We always bring a usb chargeable motion night light with magnetic mount. A much better solution.
Don don't know how many night lights I left behind on cruise ships. A built-in would be excellent
Oh my goodness! Carnival is trying to make us safer! I bring a power outlet that has USB chargers, US style plugs and a night light all in one. If you don’t want the sensor to work just put a washcloth over it. No messy tape for the attendant to be bothered by.
We usually leave the bathroom light on with the door closed. My hubby has big feet and runs his toes into the walls and the light helps. We will see how this under light works. -I agree Don...more USB ports!
No worry for me, we always left the bathroom light on with the door closed because I'm a klutz and it gave us some illumination. It's especially good if you have a Cpap cord on the floor and you don't want to trip. Some folks are anticipating something when the question is have you even experienced it yet?
Sounds good to me. Additionally seems like there would be some switch somewhere to just turn it off.
I leave the bathroom light on anyway so I don't have to fumble with the light switch
Anyone heard of eye masks??? They work wonders without being invasive or having stateroom attendants searching for taped sensors etc.
was on the Carnival Glory a few weeks ago and they had a light near the bathroom that would come on only if you came near it. Loved it. I always bring a light for the bathrooms at night so I don't need to turn on the bright light. Also the Lamps were replaced which had a USB A & C along with the 110 Power for use. This was Great. Still wish they add more color changing lights to new ships or dimmable lights.
Two daily cleanings is a waste of resources. They should have a override switch for the lights.
Some of the nightstands have lamps where the base takes up 3/4th of the night stand.
When I sailed the Discovery Princess the first week of May. They were installing those lights under the end tables. They installed mine the last day. I only got to experience those lights for bone night.
Love the night lights on Princess and find them very helpful. I also bring a flashlight and a night light just in case.
Oh....and leave the bathroom light on and leave the door open a pinch...
If the cabin is completely black, we just leave the bathroom light on and crack the door. When I get up in the night, I use an army trick of keeping one eye closed so the bright bathroom lights don't ruin my night vision.
Yeah, those night are on new Sun Princess cruise ship and it doesn't bother me or my traveling buddy.
I don't mind the motion detecting floor lights at all, especially in the cabins with the raised bathroom floors. Yes to more USB's also. We also bring the multi-plug USB's.
They need outlets near the head of the beds for CPAP machines. As for the low light sensor for safety, I’m thinking that they should be just towards the floor like the isles in movie theaters.
Carnival Radiance had this - made the decision to wear eye mask and ear plugs on my next Carnival cruise
That sounds good to me as long as it isn't intrusive. Simple solution, give the night light an option to turn it off, otherwise people will unscrew the bulb or whatever it takes to darken it. That should please most people? Otherwise, I always bring masking tape with me that works to fix most anything.
I bet my husband will be annoyed with the light! He puts a towel on a microwave, if it’s in our hotel room! I use my cell phone light to avoid walking into the bed, on my way back from the bathroom!
Letting people choose nightlight on, off, or by sensor would solve the whole issue.
Yes more plugs, but for heavens sake get nightlight that ONLY come on when your feet hit the sensor.
Have to CYA so they don't get sued because someone ran into something in a pinch black room in the middle of the night. I've slept with night lights for 50 years. This won't bother me at all.
When I get up in the middle of the night, I can’t turn any light on or it’s over for me (thanks Peri for this little gift). While I can appreciate the idea here, I’d prefer to have the nightlight as optional. Would a non-optimal nightlight ruin my trip though? Probably not
Nightlights sound good to me. If you don’t like it, wear an eye mask. I agree, more plugs are needed.
an on off switch for the feature would be great - we use a cheap portable rechargeable motion sensor nightlight in the bathroom and we use a 2.00 sleep mask so overall whatever they do is workable. i think over 30 plus cruises ive had maybe 1 stubbed toe incident at night and comically it was on my luggage that i didnt put away.
We always have to bring an extension cord and power strip. 😎no lights plz
We take a small sensor light for the bathroom. I don't mind sensor lights except I've heard some of them outside the bathroom are so bright that it really wakes you up. I wouldn't like that.
This would annoy me ad a light sleeper but would never make a big deal of it.
I would block the sensors for sure as it would it bother my cabin mate or myself if sound asleep.
I put foil and tape over the sensor every time on Princess. I take it off during the day. The light on princess is too bright, I put my own led nightlight in the bathroom.
Fine with me! I usually bring a small night light anyway. I don't see well in the dark. 😊
I would dislike sharing a room with sensor lights, would hate to wake someone up.
For those sensitive people just bring an eye mask, & you can go to sleep just fine.
It’s fine if there’s one person in the cabin, but it’ll disturb the other person. Having one in the bathroom is a good idea. P & O Iona/Arvia have a night light in the bathroom that’s on permanently. There’s also one that faces the floor near the bathroom door, it’s very dim. This can be turned off.
Had an automatic light on the outside of the bathroom door on our last princess cruise. Fixed it with a bandaid over the sensor..
Like the idea of a spotlight shining on somebody sneaking out of the room to get a midnight slice of pizza or something! That would be funny! The light is helpful, hopefully the lights won't turn on too often. We usually take a nightlight with us.
“Hey you! You’ve had enough pizza!”
@@bryantsteury8910 exactly! Caught you!
@@PrimeTimeTravelers 😂😂😂
I always have a battery operated night like I can use to find my way to the loo and leave it on the vanity as I do my business. It's original use was a light for reading a book. Small, but enough light.
I bring my own night lights and motion sensors anyway. My husband is an early to bed early to rise, and I am late to bed, early to rise so I bring motion sensors so I don’t wake him up.
They have those light on the Oasis, behind the TV. We could turn them off and on. We liked it, so we didn't stub our toes on the coffee table or desk.
I agree with more USB ports, and also the size C which is the newer ones. If I were them, I'd make it so as the ports change, they could pop in a newer up to date module, instead of having to wait until reconditioning of the ship.
My husband and I like the nightlights. We've always brought a battery operated hanging nightlight with us. For now, we still bring it in case we get a cabin without a nightlight. It would be nice if they put on/off switches on them for the people who don't like them though.
the night lite is already done on the Carnval Firenze. I have not problem
Didn’t bother me, but I’d rather they use the money to convert those ‘coolers’ into proper cold refrigerators.
People with tape often are sensitive to even the on/off lights on tvs etc.
My night light has 4 USB ports and the light can be turned off!
We brought a small nightlight with us on the Carnival Venezia, but it was fairly iseless as there were no plugs close to the bathroom door.
I just bought a motion detector for use in the inside cabins. Maybe the cruise lines should make it an option.
I think the lights are a great idea. I also have trouble sleeping/getting back to sleep, but the rooms are really dark and a little light would be welcome when moving around the cabin.
Ben & David channel hates those night lights. Said a pillow fell off the bed and that dan light came on. They covered it over. Thinking of taking a dark tap to cover over it.
I wonder what will happen when there's a wheelchair or scooter? Do you know if that will turn it on? I don't think a PIR sensor will do that.
I actually don't have a problem with this. I have a good friend break two toes getting up to go to the bathroom at night on a ship.
Wish give a way to turn the sensor off if the passenger doesn't want to use it. More plugs and usb plugs would be nice
I always keep a light on in my apartment (and sleep with the TV on). For me the lights are no problem.
We pack chargers incase there are no USB ports regardless how old the ship is. I like night lights in the bathroom so you don't have to turn on that bright overheads.
I can understand why some people would like it, although personally it would bother me. I wonder why there is just not a switch that would allow it to be turned on/off as desired? By the way, we travel with a tiny battery-powered tea light that operates on a built in timer for about 6 hours. We leave it in the bathroom and it provides all the light we need in the middle of the night.
Good in theory but when you have a family of four, that’s going to be a lot of lights coming on during the night. I’ve not been on a ship with it so I don’t know how bright it is. A dim light near the bathroom entrance/front door surely should be enough? At least give people options whether they want this or not?
We priced a Carnival just to see, being we got an offer- port fees are more and we don’t feel it’s worth the price!!
We always cruise with a nightlight they are practical. However if Carnival is planing on installing a night light sensor like they have on Princess this is a horrible idea. The night light sensor on Princess engages the overhead light between the closet area and the bathroom door. It light up the whole cabin like a napalm explosion. When cruising on Princess I bring a nightlight and a roll of masking tape and the first I do when I get in my cabin is tape off this sensor. I convinced the idiot who came up with this nightlight solution has never tried to sleep in a Princess cabin. Please Carnival leave well enough alone.
sure have the nightlight "available", but put a switch on it so you can turn it off.
Totally agree with the comment of an on/off switch for the motion-sensor night lights. There is that option on the light switch now for common rooms equipped with motion-sensor-operated overhead lights (with also the traditional options for off/on), so why not put it into the night lights too?
What about when there are rough seas? Things move when its rough!
It’s all in the implementation. If they’re installed low and pointed down to softly illuminate only the floor with a switch to leave it off, that could be tolerable. If it comes on in your eyes at intensity 10, that’s no!
Just got off the Eurodam. There was the most handy light in the bathroom ceiling. So happy with that, we used it at night to brighten up the stateroom as we slept. Propped the door open so it shone into the room. 😁
