Distinctive-Destinations Posted September 8 #1 Share Posted September 8 I’ve noticed the craziest thing with the elevators on this ship. Several times they have passed by my floor. Earlier I was on 7, and I watched an elevator go from 6 to 8 without stopping on 7. I had the up button pressed/lit. I’ve noticed stuff like this several times. Here’s a pic I just took on 7. I pressed up. These two elevators that were on 7 did nothing, despite also being on 7. A different elevator eventually binged and was available.

SeaShark Posted September 8 #2 Share Posted September 8 You have to understand that each grouping of elevators (Fore and Aft) consist of TWO different banks of elevators. Pressing one button doesn't summon ALL of the cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted September 8 #3 Share Posted September 8 I believe and seen that, FWIW, on the Joy & other ships in the fleet to go into bypass mode, likely for crews with specially encoded key care access, i.e. butler's & Haven/suite guests being escorted, security or emergencies (Code Alpha response) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressing one button doesn't summon ALL of the cars. The Bliss, Encore and Joy are all this same way. You need to press the button on both sides (make sure they light up) to summon them all. I always thought it was strange and luckily, it is not this way on the Prima or Viva. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be simple to have a single button for all common floors and a special button for the high floors. This craziness started with the Epic and has been on every subsequent ship.

Asawi Posted September 8 #7 Share Posted September 8 1 hour ago, shof515 said: this is why elevators stop at every floor. i wish they was a better system But the thing is, they don't! Or at least they didn't when I was on Bliss earlier this year. All "call buttons" where pressed but the car still passed at times, I'm thinking there is some "smart" system routing the cars, possibly to avoid people on high (or low if going down) floors always getting a full car. Or something like that... (Do note I put "smart" in quotes.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseMH Posted September 8 #8 Share Posted September 8 There is for sure a smart system that tries to make the elevators as efficient as possible. All elevators do also have weight sensors.So if the elevator is heavy the system knows that there is no space/weight left for any more passengers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dlh015 Posted September 8 #9 Share Posted September 8 And it's not just cruise ships...same thing happened to me in casino resorts in Reno recently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstimecruiseronncl Posted September 9 #10 Share Posted September 9 Yes, this happened to us on Joy last month. The biggest issue we found was that there is only one elevator going up to Deck 19 and it would constantly bypass us if there was any other elevator open letting people on.
