Facilities in the cabins on Sapphire Princess sailing from Southampton?

I don’t wish to sound ignorant but is a thermostatically controlled kettle the same thing as a kettle with an automatic switch off? I am very excited at the possibility of having a kettle in the cabin after all. :D

Based on this statement that I found online, a thermostatically controlled kettle and a kettle with an automatic switch off are the same thing. :)

 

“There is a thermal disk at or as part of the manual switch. Once the water reaches 212 F (actually a bit less, I believe 208F at that location) and holds for five or so seconds, the switch shuts the kettle off“.

Brilliant news - thank you.

Hopefully you won’t have any issues but sometimes on Princess the description consistently inconsistent applies. ;)

 

If so have them call Jan for clarification. :confused:

I've asked for clarification again. My auto shut-off thermostatically controlled kettle was confiscated on the Star Princess 2 years ago as the Captain did not allow them. The onboard manual allowed for thermostatically controlled items --like mine -- but this was the captain's prerogative. I complained via Princess customer service. After that the note in the prohibited items appeared; I also have not taken my kettle onboard since. I have asked for a written clarification on their policy. Perhaps others would do the same.

And the Captain was??? I shall be careful not to sail with him (or her);)

Sorry don't remember. Apart from the kettle incident he was very charming and talked to everyone individually at our meet and greet.
