Carolin Posted July 30, 2011 #126 Share Posted July 30, 2011 And now you know why things end up on the ultimate packing list. Add heavy duty aluminum foil and a colander to the list. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson's aunt Posted August 7, 2011 #127 Share Posted August 7, 2011 you know those people who do not leave service charge/tip what ever go back to room and they get zapped never to be seen again. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldrailfan Posted August 10, 2011 #130 Share Posted August 10, 2011 That'll stop the cameras from seeing you, but it won't stop the bugs (listening devices) from hearing you.:cool: Big Brother is listening, too. :p:D Feel sorry for anyone listening to my cabin - snoring and the noises of certain other bodily functions is all they'll get...

adonisr Posted August 10, 2011 #132 Share Posted August 10, 2011 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... Oh my gosh! You didn't push on it or anything did you. It activates the in room hidden camera that transmits a live feed to the crew entertainment area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaParrotHead Posted August 10, 2011 #133 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Another reason to take duct tape with you. Tape over unusual looking electronic gizmos/gadgets/thingies! :eek: Keep your duct tape in your checked bag. Port security pulled my roll in June (along with extra plastic ties that I use for diving, "locking" luggage, etc.); apparently they are viewed as "restraining devices" and on the naughty list. --- - Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Cat Posted August 10, 2011 #134 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Maybe this light was a replacement for the mysterious light in the toilet everyone was talking about a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multi-Cruiser Posted May 4, 2016 #135 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I have never seen this either of my cruises...... but, I will be following this thread wait for a reply from those of you who will be sailing soon. Please let us know what you find out.:eek: I would have asked my steward on my last cruise about that but he spoke such poor English it was hard to actually have a conversation.

evandbob Posted May 4, 2016 #139 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Sorry, but I have to ask. What possessed you to pull up this 5 year old thread about a wall gadget?:confused: To show that a search on CC can be successful? Beats those who start their post with: "I tried a search and couldn't find anything" or "I would post in the port of call section but I dont get answers there". Both seem to be excuses and code for "I don't know how" or "I'm too lazy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both seem to be excuses and code for "I don't know how" or "I'm too lazy". I agree with the "I tried a search" thing and most times the answers are there over and over. I found this a weird thing to search and the poster simply made a statement, but gave no answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What possessed you to pull up this 5 year old thread about a wall gadget?:confused: I'm sorry if my question bothers you. That was not my intent. I was curious what that device in my stateroom was so I googled it and Google brought me to this page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I was not taking a swipe at the steward's language skills. He was far better at English than I would be at his native language. I was merely stating why I didn't try to ask him a question that he may not have understood or had an answer for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglinc@msn.com Posted May 5, 2016 #143 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Sorry, but I have to ask. What possessed you to pull up this 5 year old thread about a wall gadget?:confused: Probably because no one seems to know what it is & certainly not going to look thru 5 years of posts to see if someone had asked this question before. That's what these boards are for, ask a question and see if someone knows the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James in SA Posted May 5, 2016 #146 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Its a GFCI circuit breaker for the bathroom lights and electrical outlet. I've watched a ship's technician pop off the plastic cover and trip it to the off position to kill the power while he replaced one of the fluorescent light tubes. You probably have something similar in your bathrooms at home in a different package... They are required when electrical outlets are installed in a damp or wet location, so that you don't get electrocuted if for instance the cord on your electric shaver is damaged. No need for the tin foil hats. The camera is really in the TV. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you James, that makes sense. I guess I didn't think of that because it doesn't look anything like the GFCIs that I've seen in the states.
