scapino Posted December 9, 2011 #1 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Here's a question I really haven't seen. Is there any (I doubt it) type of reading light(s) on the balconeys, so you can read at night?? Any ideas of what you can bring with you if the answer (which it prob is) no??

ariawoman Posted December 9, 2011 #2 Share Posted December 9, 2011 It would be helpful if you posted which ship, but my belief is no. I know there wasn't a light on the Equinox. Pitch black out there. If you have an ereader you can get a case with that pull out light. ;-) Else, travel flashlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty9 Posted December 9, 2011 #3 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Some ships and some balconies have lights. But they are so bright that they disturb your neighbors. I would bring one of those small lights that clip onto a book. Or else bring an iPad, nook or Kindle and you can read in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a book light that clips onto my book--I use it all the time at home to read in bed when DH is asleep. I always take it when I cruise too. This is the one I have from Barnes and Noble: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/mighty-bright-blue-xtraflex-led-booklight/17998338?ean=9781891747014&itm=1&usri=book+light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SusieV Posted December 9, 2011 #6 Share Posted December 9, 2011 You're with us on Silhouette in January, right? No lights on that ship unfortunately. They do have lights on the M class ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has no light source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solstice class ships do not have lights on their balconies....You can buy a little light that attaches to a book or a kindle. Wife and I both have them for our kindles and they work fine...

dln929 Posted December 10, 2011 #11 Share Posted December 10, 2011 For your info - you can't read a Kindle in the dark. It has no light source. Yes you can. I read my Kindle in bed all the time, long after my husband's turned out the light. He gave me this for my birthday and it works great! http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Lighted-Leather-Cover-Keyboard/dp/B003DZ165W/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1323480545&sr=1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Nook and found a Nook app for my Droid phone. I read from my Droid when I'm in bed and my Nook all other times. Every time I've read from one, I update the other one to make sure the novels/pages stay in sync. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob brown Posted December 10, 2011 #14 Share Posted December 10, 2011 No 'porch lights' on the 'S' Class? No problem......just bring along one of these... http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&cp=9&gs_id=y&xhr=t&q=trouble+light&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1440&bih=798&wrapid=tljp1323495115077016&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=1219513275832188916&sa=X&ei=2-7iTtyFOOfa0QH4pIDYBQ&sqi=2&ved=0CGYQ8wIwAg :p:D:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will do it Bob. The 25ft cord should reach the power socket with no problem. Put a 100w bulb in that thing and all you neighbors can read on their balconies as well.

bob brown Posted December 10, 2011 #16 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I just love 'low-tech' solutions.....:p Just one caveat....those on the starboard cabins, put a green liner inside the reflector; those on portside, put a red liner; those in the stern cabins, do neither. The Captain will appreciate that......:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth the extra money for that cover. You don't even know the light is there unless you pull it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
