f7prez Posted March 15, 2010 #51 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Close your eyes. It's even darker than that. Sure they're cheap, but you can't tell if its day or night. If your coming or going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All4fun&fun4all Posted March 15, 2010 #54 Share Posted March 15, 2010 How about a battery operated candle? I think Glade makes them. You can use it with or without the scented spray. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n2knight Posted March 15, 2010 #56 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I used to stay in a Mountain cabin owned by some friends. All the rooms in the back had no windows at all so it was bat cave dark. The family used a few feet of rope light along the floor leading to the door. It was the perfect night light. Along those lines in you are into decorating your room, bring along some LED xmas lights and they can be both decor and nightlights I know my cell phone has an alarm clock mode that then display will stay on (as long as its plugged in charging) and show the time in large digits like a digital clock. The more I think about it.... If you decorate the back of your door with a few LED xmas lights it should provide enough light for late night BR trips still not intrude on your sleep. Make sure they are LED lights ...low power and low heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AandBmom Posted March 15, 2010 Author #57 Share Posted March 15, 2010 How about a battery operated candle? I think Glade makes them. You can use it with or without the scented spray. :) That's a genius idea! I just may try that. I think I'll also try to pick up a battery operated digital clock. I could use a watch or my phone or something, but I want something that I can display for all of us (including the kids) to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AandBmom Posted March 22, 2010 Author #62 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I think I found two great solutions today at Walmart. I bought a travel LED battery operated clock. I has an alarm and everything. (I don't plan to use an alarm on this trip but may on other trips). I also bought one of those LED dotlights that you can set or stick anywhere and they offer light for several hours. The one I bought has a dim setting too. I thought I'd set this in the bathroom. I also picked up a two-pack (for $2.47) of LED fake tealights which I thought I could set somewhere if needed. Hopefully this helps our whole family know the time and find our way around the cabin without turning on big bright lights at night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready2gosailing Posted March 22, 2010 #63 Share Posted March 22, 2010 A couple of you mentioned adapters for the plug in. Are the outlets on the ship three pronged, or are they two pronged and I need an adapter for my three pronged power strip? This will be our first cruise (Victory in mid-May....soooo excited!), and I'd hate to take a power strip and have no way to plug it in. We have ipods, a kindle, camera batteries to charge, etc. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehfl Posted March 22, 2010 #64 Share Posted March 22, 2010 It's very dark. We just leave the bathroom light on...a little bit of light comes out from beneath the door....enought to find it in the middle of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted March 22, 2010 #65 Share Posted March 22, 2010 What ships is this screen on since it seems to look a lot nicer then the one on the miracle from last year: ready2gosailing: they are 3 prong outlets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&TQ Posted March 22, 2010 #66 Share Posted March 22, 2010 We usually get a OV room but also get light assorted electronic devices in the room. I don't like to be in the bathroom without the lights on so I take those little fake voltive candles you can get at the dollar store. I put one in the bathroom and one next to the bed. usually on the little ledge if there is one. If I wake up I tap it and can see enough of the room to get around and tap the one in the bathroom. enough light to see but not too much. I don't think the outlets work in the bathroom with out the light on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie05 Posted March 22, 2010 #67 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I always give my son a little flashlight so he can see something, read without disturbing others, see to go to bathroom, etc. It's dark! Think 3 walled closet with a door except the light under the door. We like it. Never opened the blinds for the window once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bots99 Posted March 23, 2010 #68 Share Posted March 23, 2010 So I'm guessing with no natural light streaming in that the room is pitch black. Is that correct or is there any sort of night-light in the room? I like to have a dim light on so I can see my kids in the middle of the night and so the kids can find their way to the bathroom. Is there something in the cabin that provides a light like this or should I pack a night light? We're on the Imagination if that makes a difference. leave the bathroom light on with the door closed.

AandBmom Posted March 23, 2010 Author #69 Share Posted March 23, 2010 leave the bathroom light on with the door closed. But then when you go into the bathroom in the middle of the night you get blinded by a bright light and the light spills out into the cabin waking everyone else up.

MrPete Posted March 23, 2010 #70 Share Posted March 23, 2010 But then when you go into the bathroom in the middle of the night you get blinded by a bright light and the light spills out into the cabin waking everyone else up. .......Unless you turn the light out before you open the door. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AandBmom Posted March 23, 2010 Author #71 Share Posted March 23, 2010 .......Unless you turn the light out before you open the door. :p ......but then you'd be trying to go pee in a pitch black bathroom. Have you seen the commercial where there is a little boy peeing standing up and he turns to the right when his mom calls his name and the pee goes everywhere. Picture my 4 and 6 year old boys peeing in the dark. They'd freak out or they'd pee everywhere. Poor cabin steward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rednose83 Posted March 23, 2010 #75 Share Posted March 23, 2010 The other trick we have learned depends on the TV stations available on the ship. If you have a channel that shows just the "bow cam" and nothing else, we turn it on with the sound down. It is dark at night and then shows progressively more light as it gets light outside. Otherwise, we might sleep until noon! We do this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
