bunchesofun Posted July 20, 2011 #51 Share Posted July 20, 2011 [quote name='trptplayer22']Is this inside or outside of the bathroom. The house we rent was once owned by and older man. If the light is left on in the basement there is a little red light outside the basement door that stays on. Just to let you know you left a light on?[/quote] We have one of those. Quite handy.

darienill Posted July 20, 2011 #52 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Forget the tape. If it's a camera or listening device then all you have to do is wear an aluminum helmet while running around the room. Also stops aliens from abducting you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can make it like a sail and give it a nautical theme--two for one!:p:D;):p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbadog Posted July 20, 2011 #56 Share Posted July 20, 2011 [SIZE=4][COLOR=blue]I Think it's a motion sensor,so cabin stewards know someone is in room?;)[/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hotel Posted July 20, 2011 #57 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I don't know for sure, and have no supporting evidence, but from the look of it, the location of it, and the fact that it doesn't appear that all rooms have one - I would guess that it's a carbon monoxide sensor, which requires constant power (which is why it's next to a light switch) and the green light is to let the steward/crew maintenance department know if it's working, much like the blinking light on a smoke detector. The little switch-looking thing under the cover is most likely a "test" button. It may be that these are only installed in parts of the ship which are most prone to carbon monoxide build-up. Just one idiot's guess. It's probably a spy-cam, though. DH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvpends Posted July 20, 2011 #58 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I'm pretty sure you use it to access the elevator that takes you from the aft to the fore of the ship.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldocruiser1 Posted July 20, 2011 #59 Share Posted July 20, 2011 [quote name='Aoumd'][IMG]http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk264/adamsvacation/DSC_0246.jpg[/IMG] Got back from the Glory last week and had a great time, but a question... The black button-like thing on the right is the restroom light, but I wonder what the little sensor-like thing (with its own little switch) on the left is? Never seemed to be able to find a reason for it on our recent cruise...[/quote] That is the Big Brother "Spy" Cam They can tell when you are in your room, what you are doing, wearing, not wearing, and EVERYTHING.

lobodog Posted July 20, 2011 #60 Share Posted July 20, 2011 [quote name='Aoumd']Thanks for the ideas everyone - guess if I sail Carnival again soon I'll just have to ask the steward. I've used the "Room key slot for electricity" feature before at a hotel in Japan. Great way to save power, although on a ship I could see how it could prevent one from charging up a camera, iPod, etc. when out to dinner... ...and given some of the other threads that are active at the moment I too have been wondering about the whole "motion sensor" thing for attendant use![/quote] If you have another person in the cabin keep thier card in the slot while you are out to dinner and hope the room steward doesn't take it out for you.

hoosiergirl34787 Posted July 20, 2011 #61 Share Posted July 20, 2011 It is a light that comes on when the power goes off on the ship. I know this because when I was on the Freedom a month ago the power went out. That light came on and we were able to find our way to the door.

Are these only found in inside cabins? We've never had an inside cabin and don't remember ever seeing something like this in any of our cabins.

hoosiergirl34787 Posted July 20, 2011 #64 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I had an ocean view room and it was in there. The power went off about midnight so it was pretty dark even with the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you knew what you were talking about, you would know that you simply have to fold the foil to a certain thickness and place them inside of both of your shoes. This will disrupt the signals sufficiently and those that are monitoring you will not realize that you are on to them.

mousey Posted July 20, 2011 #68 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Okayj, I'm taking my metal colander and putting some tin foil rabbit ears on it and I'm going to stand naked in front the "thingy" with the collander on my 65 yr.old head and if you see my picture on YouTube you'll know for sure it's a secret camera!:eek::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterfever Posted July 20, 2011 #71 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I have no idea what the thing is, and I don't even know how I came across this thread. All I know is that is proves that cruisers are a weird bunch of people. I guess that's why I love to cruise so much. I don't have a cruise booked at the time (just a Next Cruise certificate on Royal Caribbean), and I'm in cruise withdrawal. Maybe the thing is used to implant subliminal messages into our brains, making us NEED to cruise again, thus keeping the cruise lines in business!

jaw5293 Posted July 20, 2011 #73 Share Posted July 20, 2011 No clue as to what it is but my smoke detectors in my house have a green light too! My smoke detectors are hard wired rather than battery operated and guess the light means that it is active or working?! Maybe the cruise people have invaded my house and that is why I'm always dreaming of a cruise?! Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t8te Posted July 20, 2011 #75 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Is it possible that this is a sensor for staff IDs? It might record when staff are in the room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
