Alarm Clocks

Is there alarm clocks in the staterooms on the Island Princess?

[fishywood]

No actual clocks but there is a time display in the telephone and it is very easy to set a wake up call. The ship's time move and hour backwards or forwards on some nights during the cruise so individual alarm clocks would have to be reset. Which is what you have to keep an eye on if you use a travel alarm or your phone.

You can program a wake up call through the phone in the cabin.

If I needed an alarm I'd just use my phone. I could set an alarm or a timer.

Not everyone has a phone and some like myself lock their phone in the safe and don't think about it until disembarkation. :)

DW and I always carry a clock with us as we like to see the time and having to get up to find the phone is a pain. The current one cost about $7.00 at WallyWorld.

We had great success with the automated wake-up call system on the CB.

Call me crazy, I cant sleep without a clock. I need to be able to stay asleep, crack an eye and know its time to keep sleeping. If I have to struggle to know what time it is, I will become awake. If I awake to early, I get mad. If I get mad I wake up a little more.

 

My solution. The HITO Touch Digital Display Alarm Clock. It is available for a few dollars from that jungle store. This one runs on battery's, lasts a year and is illuminated all night long with big ol' tired eye sized digits.

 

Best way to stay a sound asleep all night long is the HITO 6" display. I purchased these for our 2014 cruise. We loved them so much we use them at home now.

Me too. I have to know what time it is when I wake up, but don't want to wake up too much. Just want to know how much longer I get to sleep.

I don't use my phone on vacation either. Just put it in the safe. I have a battery powered clock that I will be taking.

I use a clock app with alarm on my Iphone. Plug it into a charger at night and it gives a nice digital display that I can see if and when I wake up. Works on either my phone or my Ipad.

We do the same! If we're sitting around looking through the Patter to see what we want to do that night, neither of us want to get up to look at the cabin phone, or grab a cell phone to see what time it is. We lose track of time quite easily on cruises, which is kind of the point.

 

Our alarm clock also has a white noise machine that we just cannot sleep without. It's just more like being at home :)

One could always purchase one of those clocks that projects the time on the ceiling. As for the phone, I always locked it up as soon as I boarded but on my last cruise I kept it out and used it for the Princess@Sea access. It was nice to be able to check events, etc. without having a Patter.

I take my Chelsea Ship's Bell Clock. Telling time by ship,s bell has a background that goes back hundreds of years. With a Ship's Bell Clock you can hear the time. You do not need to SEE it. I can't tell you how it gets me up on time. But it does. I may have been an old navy sailor in a past life. 🕰 LOL

We just program a wake up call through the phone in the cabin. Watch and small LED flashlight on the night stand if we are curious about the time. Cell phone off and locked in the safe for the entire Cruie.

We use a small battery powered travel clock/sound machine - works great! Our cell phone goes in the safe and stays there unless we're in a port where we can use it at no extra charge. The room phone goes on the floor - hate having the entire bedside tabletop taken up by the bulky phone, with no room for books, tissue, glasses, glass of water, etc. The problem with using the cell phone as a clock while charging it overnight is that on some ships/some rooms the electric outlets are not close enough to the bed to do it without an extension cord.
