    On the thermostat, you can hit the “quick cool” button which will leave the fan and AC running the whole time. It’s the little snowflake button on the bottom

    I went on the first Mardi Gras the summer of 1972 and our cabin was not yet wired to be used in the U.S. They provided a public room so we could use our hair blowers and electic curlers. So enjoy any new cabin, but back in 72, we still had"FUN".hope to go on the new one some day!

      Keep in mind, this is an upgraded stateroom. The rest of the rooms may or may not have that, just like the lower classification rooms aren't going to have the Elemis spa product in them. That's one of the things about the Cloud 9 Spa rooms, among having access to the thermal suite included.

    They have that sale and sign card holder thing on the Horizon. We just put an old gift card in it to keep the air running while we were out because the cabin could be rather warm when you leave it off. Also, the lights are controlled by it as well. They have like an energy saver when you sleep at night that causes the air to go off for a while. Al in all the cabins do not look too much different than the Horizon.😎🛳

    Love the new state rooms no big table between the couch and the vanity area, also like the extra outlets. However my husband travels with a sleep apnea machine and ha int all the outlets that car from the bed is can be dangerous. The order is not long enough to rea h the bed and even if it did the bulk of his machine would be in the middle of the floor. I don't understand why one outlet cant be right by the bed. I am sure that there are other passengers with medical conditions or needs that would benefit from an outlet right by the bed. I love. Cruising and look forward to be able to cruise again, enjoy your cruise!!!

    • @ryanslemmer5905
      @ryanslemmer5905 Před 2 lety

      Most CPAPs can work on 110 and 220, and any lines/ships/rooms with standard nightstands with table lamps usually have 220s behind them. I've unplugged one and used that as a way to have it plugged in... But this ship I would bet doesn't have plugs behind or under the bed. You COULD bring a really long extension cord or ask for one and some duct tape.. but this is something they really should think about. They've finally brought in USB charging, though I wouldn't use them because they're going to be standard slow charging ones and I just don't trust public type usb charging. Panorama has regular night stands, or at least did in my interior room.

    Thanks for the tour!!! I’m a cpap user and was wondering if there are any regular plug outlets by the bed. My cord may not stretch to the outlets by the desk (not to mention tripping hazard). If there isn’t one near the bed can you maybe ask the cabin steward if they have extension cords. I’m sailing in October and there are l other cpap-ers in the group that are curious if we need to bring extension cords and how long. Ugh the struggle! Love the video and looking forward to more!!!

      It is good, I got it hooked up fine. But... a trick is you can't switch to HDMI 2, until you are on a TV channel. If you switch while in the Carnival Menu, it'll go but switch right back. If you are watching a Tv channel and switch it'll stay.

    @ryanslemmer5905 Před 2 lety

    Just before the shutdown I was in an interior Cloud 9 on Panorama, and it still utilizes 220s in the room, with I think 1 or 2 US outlets. It also still had table lamps for the nightstands. Seeing this, I would doubt that there are 220s below/behind the beds like there are on ships with regular nightstands. This layout would not be good for anyone who uses a CPAP, and could be dangerous with an extension cord running across the room.
