ba10rk Posted January 30, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I'm curious. Does the "night latch/lock" keep the steward out of the room? :confused: If I use the "night latch/lock" then the steward would not be able to enter the room with his key. Is that correct? :o Thanks! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GXmanDC Posted January 30, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I assume so, much like it does in a hotel. However, I have never asked them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted January 30, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 30, 2011 There is no "nightlatch" like in a hotel....there is an extra lock on the door, but it is still part of the doorknob....you'll see what I mean when you arrive. If you do NOT want the attendant to access your cabin, put the "Do Not Disturb" hanger on your door. That's the best way to assure no disruptions. However, they will not be coming into your cabin after the last dinner seating, unless you request it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burritto Posted January 30, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I usually just deconstruct the towel animal each night and use it to tie the doorknob of the entrance and the bathroom together. That keeps the attendants out.... unless they're already under the bed :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KellyJean Posted January 30, 2011 #7 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I don't know about that extra little lock but DITTO about the Do Not Disturb card. We didn't think to use either this week on our cruise and our stateroom attendant walked in on us TWICE! Once while we were sleeping when he brought our champagne and the second time while I was in the bathroom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryansmom Posted January 30, 2011 #9 Share Posted January 30, 2011 forget the zombies & stateroom attendants...I'd like to keep my kid from comin' by the cabin during the afternoon ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphs Posted January 30, 2011 #10 Share Posted January 30, 2011 If they cant get the door open, then they will climb over onto your balcony and come in that way, so you are going to want to make sure your neighbors lock their doors as well, and now that I think of it, your neighbors will want to make sure their neighbors lock their doors too. Hmmm, seems like a lot of work to keep the room attendant out. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burritto Posted January 30, 2011 #11 Share Posted January 30, 2011 forget the zombies & stateroom attendants...I'd like to keep my kid from comin' by the cabin during the afternoon ;) Just peel off the placard outside the cabin with your room number on it and move it down the hall. Your kid will be trying his SeaPass in someone else's door long enough for you to do whatever you're up to ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOAZ5 Posted January 30, 2011 #12 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I take it the cabins don't have a chain or bar like a hotel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkSusan Posted January 30, 2011 #13 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I take it the cabins don't have a chain or bar like a hotel? No, they don't but they have the secondary lock like most hotel doors and as such the key will not open the door if that is used. Sort of like a dead bolt lock.

kyriecat Posted January 30, 2011 #15 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I don't know about the steward's key, but a normal key won't unlock the cabin door if the twist-lock is engaged. There must be a way to override the twist-lock, but I thought security had to do it. If you put the do not disturb sign in the lock, the steward will normally not bother you. BTW, for anyone interested, the HC cabins on Radiance class ships do not have the twist-locks. If you don't put the do not disturb sign out, the steward may come in with very little notice.

Rancher Dave Posted January 30, 2011 #16 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I usually just deconstruct the towel animal each night and use it to tie the doorknob of the entrance and the bathroom together. That keeps the attendants out.... unless they're already under the bed :eek: Hope you don't smoke in bed...you'd have just locked yourself in...:eek: OP, the latch will definietly will keep them from doing more than just opening a couple inches...of course the deadbolt should help keep them out completely.

Cruiser 4 Life 66 Posted January 30, 2011 #17 Share Posted January 30, 2011 My last cruise I wanted to have an early night and put the "DO NOT DISTURB" sign on the door around 7:00pm. They still knocked on my door repeatedly around 8:00pm while I shouted from the bed "I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!!!!!". They kept knocking so I shouted "GO AWAY!!!!!!!". That did the trick finally. But just a point that those 'DO NOT DISTURB" and "PLEASE MAKE UP MY ROOM NOW" signs mean nothing. I had the "MAKE UP MY ROOM SIGN" one day from 8am-1pm and the room still wasn't made. I had to go complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
