pompeii Posted October 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 23, 2022 About to embark on the Regal and would like to take a nightlight. I bought one that has two standard prongs and am hoping someone can verify that it will work in the bathroom outlet. We usually take little tealights, but I'd prefer an actual nightlight. I also read that the overhead light has to be on in the bathroom for the outlet to work? If so, that would defeat the purpose. I've never used the outlet in the bathroom since it's for razors only so I don't know if the light has to be on or not. Anyway, can someone illuminate?

It has a flap, so you would need to prop it up, if I remember correctly. Some night lights may fit, if small and flat. Because of all the different ships, we just take led battery candles. They last for 14-30 days, when turned on at night only. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted October 23, 2022 #4 Share Posted October 23, 2022 On the Grand, the bathroom outlet worked with the nightlights from the Dollar Tree/99 cents stores. I also used a small usb power cube with a usb light in the bathroom. It does have to be the non-polarized prongs (2 of the same). Bathroom night did not have to be on (defeats the purpose). Can't speak regarding Royal Class ships...I won't sail on them (for now). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcdcruiser Posted October 23, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) IF the nightlight has identical prongs (in other words equal sized), then you should have no problem. The images below are from the Royal Princess mini suite. Sometimes, if the prongs are different sizes it may work or may not work. I have actually acquired a nightlight with equal sized prongs and it always works. Note the small button between the outlet inlets in the image below. The nightlight needs to be able to push the button inwards. If needed use some tape. Edited October 23, 2022 by tcdcruiser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chengkp75 Posted October 23, 2022 #8 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Just know that the shaver outlet is current limited. A nightlight that is rated more than 4 watts will blow the fuse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t prop the cover open & it provides sufficient illumination at night & unplug it during the day when it’s not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 40 milliamp limit on the shaver outlet is because the ship does not use a GFCI in wet areas like in the US. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcdcruiser Posted October 23, 2022 #11 Share Posted October 23, 2022 This has worked on the Pacific, Grand, Ruby and Crown. Uses 1/2 watt, but had to grind down one of the prongs. But these look like the prongs are the same. https://www.amazon.com/Emotionlite-Nightlight-Rotation-Bathroom-Stairways/dp/B07GCKGV4Q/ref=sr_1_26?crid=1Z6R51NU8LFCW&keywords=night%2Blight&qid=1666566842&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI3LjE4IiwicXNhIjoiNi41MyIsInFzcCI6IjYuMDQifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=night%2Caps%2C351&sr=8-26&th=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Raider Posted October 23, 2022 #12 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I take a small motion censor light for the bathroom, just as I do at home. It runs on batteries and are approx $5 each at Amazon or Home Depot and the battery lasts approx one year. No need to reinvent the wheel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanr204 Posted October 24, 2022 #15 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Might not need it as the light right outside the bathroom is motion activated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travellingnana Posted October 24, 2022 #16 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Just off the Royal. We used a nightlight very similar in shape to the one in post #6. It was a bit bigger so it propped the cover up on its own. Equal prongs. Worked great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a long time since I have been on a cruise ship that required the light to be on for the outlet to work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bollycats Posted October 24, 2022 #18 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I just use a tap light that has batteries in it. Just press it on when you go to bed at night and it stays on until you turn it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That outlet only has power when you turn on the bathroom light. I use a battery oerated led night light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sensor for that light is facing the bathroom. Just cover it and it won't come on during the night. We also put the extra bed pillows against the bottom of the nightstands so we are not blinded by that light coming on. I know these lights are for safety but they wake me up too much and make it harder to go back to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the pillows? Why not put the tape over those sensors too? That’s what we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
