Euby Posted October 30, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) This is my first NCL cruise and first time on the Jade. I'll be in a balcony cabin. Is the power in the cabin controlled by using a key card or is it like a normal room? This post is not intended to start any "discussion" about bypassing key cards. I just want to know what to expect. Edited October 30, 2018 by Euby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agrimm01 Posted October 30, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 30, 2018 The power is not controlled by the key card on the Jade but it is on the Getaway. I suspect newer ships have this "feature". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger001 Posted October 30, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Something I noticed on the Dawn recently is that NCL apparently is emphasizing European type electrical outlets. Our SF cabin had only 2 US type outlets, one at the desk and one in the bathroom, and I believe 6 European types scattered around otherwise. Some guests were borrowing extension cords from the front desk to run power from the bathroom. I have since bought a couple electrical converters to take with us next cruise if necessary.

jazzydiver Posted October 30, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I was on the Jade last week and there is no slot for a key card, it's just a regular switch by the door. Interesting about the Dawn and the European outlets. The Jade definitely has the opposite ratio. I think on each side of the cabin (by the desk and also at the little counter below the TV) there were two North American type outlets and one European one, plus a USB port. There may have been one more North American type outlet on one side. There were also USB ports at the small lights at the head of the beds. Razor-only outlet above mirror in bathroom.

roger001 Posted October 30, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Nice that they are installing USB ports now like hotel rooms. We do need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
