General Question regarding lighting onboard

[citygirl62]

Hi, has anyone experienced being on board with a power outage? Is there back up lighting in corridors and staterooms so you are not in complete darkness? Is it a good idea to bring an LED flashlight just in case? It would be very disorienting and scary to be in an unfamiliar place without light, especially below decks.:(

Yes. The emergency lighting is the same as on planes and more modern hotels. Exit lighting and floor lighting in case there is smoke.

A lot of people bring a small flashlight with them.

Everyone should bring a small flashlight....most are lightweight...no need to bring a huge one!

There are several threads about the Carnival Splendor power outage in November, 2010, and how passengers with inside cabins had no light (or those with outside cabins at night also).

If you've got a smartphone, there may be an app for that! I have a flashlight app on my iPhone, but I also have a small penlight on a keychain.

I attach a small flat flashlight to my lanyard.
