Dumb newbie question: individual theromostats?

[quiescentlyfrozen]

Dumb question! On the Milleniumm class, are there individual thermostats in each cabin? Or is the stateroom temperature controlled by someone other than the pax themselves?

 

Thanks :-)

There is an individual thermostat in each cabin.

Good news/bad news. Good news: There are, as those above wrote, individually controlled thermostats in each cabin. The bad news: On our two =X= cruises, the lowest temp possible was 70˚F. So it seems as if there are limits to the possible temp settings. Since we like to sleep at a lower temp, this was too warm for us at night. But hey, it was a relatively small matter on otherwise great cruises!

On most, if not all, modern cruise ships, the thermostat controls dampers in the AC system. Adjusting the thermostat causes the damper to open and provide chilled air to the cabin or close to cut off air flow. The temperature of the air in the AC ducts is set elsewhere on the ship by Engineering.

 

We have on several occasions had to call Guest Services and request service on our thermostat or air dampers. There are apparently adjustments on the individual dampers that also limit how far the dampers can come open when AC is demanded. Apparently, some passengers are too cold and have had the dampers adjusted towards the closed direction on some cruise previous to ours. It is an easy two minute job, if you have a screwdriver.

Awesome! Thanks for all for the info, especially the tips re: their being max/min adjustment capacity and the info about possible need to call for manual adjustments. This is exactly the helpful type of info I love this place for!!

 

Thanks again :-)

We like our cabin really cold and have not had a problem on the Century or Summit. We were on them in the Med in November and sleep with the Balcony doors open but actually found that the air con could cool the room more with the door shut! Unfortunately there is no way to turn the air-con off when you have the door open overnight... very energy wasteful.

 

Recently we were on the Azamara Journey and the cabin was really hot. The steward said that the previous passengers were cold so an engineer had adjusted it. The engineer was called and put it back to normal but it still was slightly too warm most of the time particularly when in port. I found out that this is part of their "save the waves" efficiency measures where one engine is shut down when the ship is stationary and they then turn down the airflow in the air-con.
