snowmen Posted June 7, 2004 #1 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I have a friend who sleeps every night with a box fan on to block out other noice. Has anyone ever taken one on a cruise? Or does anyone know if you could take a box fan on the ship. This could make a difference in whether they go on their first cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted June 7, 2004 #2 Share Posted June 7, 2004 If you are flying there is a weight limit for your luggage. I have heard people taking their fans with them. I use a fan for the noise 12 months a year but on a cruise by the time night comes I am too tired to realize the noise. Tell your friends to get a balcony cabin and open the door. The sounds of the ocean is jsut as soothing to sleep by.

lisajoy Posted June 7, 2004 #4 Share Posted June 7, 2004 We found a round table fan at a Dollar General Store for $5. It was small enough to fit in our luggage. When it was time to leave we left it behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty9 Posted June 8, 2004 #5 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Tell your friend to bring one of those small portable radios that have the sound soothers. I have one that I bring on every cruise. There's a choice of 12 different sounds and a timer. It's about 6" by 4" by 1" and runs on four AAA batteries. Darcie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetMarie Posted June 8, 2004 #6 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I like the idea of the dollar store fan because as a women in her late 40's and having hot flashes, this is just what I need!

imsulin Posted June 8, 2004 #7 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Once on a Holland America cruise, the A/C wasn't working well, so I asked for a fan. They brought in one of those huge round things on a stand. It took up some floor space, but it was great, and whirred me to sleep every night! We always use the bedroom ceiling fan at home when we sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
