My Google-fu (or cruisecritic-fu) is failing me. I know I’ve seen this discussed, but I can’t find any of the threads, so apologies in advance for what is likely a repeat question for some. I see that the closet light (outside the bathroom) is on a motion detector of some sort. At least it’s only me in the cabin, so I won’t get woken up by someone else needing to go in the middle of the night. I can mostly just close/squint my eyes if I need to get up, I suppose…or does anyone know where the detector is? Maybe I could cover it somehow? Either way, my bigger issue is the lights underneath the nightstands on either side of the bed. Is there any way to turn those off? I have serious issues sleeping with lights on. Oh wait…those are on motion detectors, too. Any ideas? Thanks much!

It was a mess a few months ago when Princess changed the 2022 Alaska sailings on the Crown to the Royal. My parents and I had one rear-facing cabin and the aft-most side-facing cabin (the one with the extended balcony) on the same side of the ship. That would have allowed us 270 degrees of viewing ability. When we got swapped to the Royal, they gave us mid-ship balconies that weren't even adjacent to each other. Our TA fought for us and managed to get us into two rear-facing cabins next to each other, but she and her supervisor really had to go to bat with Princess because they kept getting told that the cabins she wanted for us were "more expensive" and "a different category".
