fan fanatic

even though I have been told the air conditioning on board can be quite chilling, I have a bad habit of needing to sleep with a fan on. would they have these available on board for use or should I pack my mini?

Depends on the cruiseline, I imagine.

 

If you have a question about specific ships or cruiselines you should probably pose it on the board dedicated to that cruiseline here at Cruise Critic.

I went to Wal-Mart, bought a $5 mini and am bringing it. If my bags are full on the way home, I will give it to our cabin steward.

I would think the cruise ship would have some fans on board. They do have emergency wetting situations where they need a fan to dry up a carpet, remove an odor, etc.

However, the advise to go to the local Wallymart and buy their cheapest model makes a lot of sense. Leave it onboard and consider it as part of the cost of the cruise.

I was going to add a third suggestion about hiring me to stand in your cabin, wave a towel and go 'brrrrr" when you are in the cabin. However, I decided that comment wouldn't be in good taste, so I decided to leave it out.

Fans

 

I have to sleep with a fan blowing on my face all the time. The minute we get on a ship we tell our cabin steward that I need a fan.

 

We have never had a problem getting one until this past Feb/Mar. The Oosterdam didn't have any! Our room steward searched for one and so did our concierges. The nest day we were in Nassau and the cruise director was sent to a store to buy a small one. He bought several just in case other people needed them. The only fans they had were the giant industrial ones for drying carpets.

thanks for all the replies. I think I'll go ahead and pack my mini- can't seem to live without the fresh air in my face! LOL
