Oasis Air Conditioning with Balcony

[travelnteach64]

Hello Everyone!

 

We are excited to be taking off the on the Oasis next month. I've read some side comments in reviews about the air conditioning in regards to the balcony door, and how the handle should be kept while on the balcony. My DH loves it cold in our rooms, and I don't want to jeopardize a good night sleep by accidentally raising the room temp. Can some one please fill me in on how to keep the door unlocked but the AC still running.

 

Thanks!

When you close it, make sure to turn the handle all the way to seal it shut. This is what lets the A/C run. There's no traditional lock per se.

 

Hopefully you have a better experience than we did in June. We kept our balcony door shut and curtains drawn the entire cruise (DW's parents booked the cruise, we don't actually use our balcony) and for the most part could never get the room anywhere close to cold. This led to some uncomfortable nights sleeping.

 

We went back alone last week and our interior room was quite cold. We also found many parts of the ship (especially the hallways) to be significantly cooler than in June so maybe they've improved something.

It may not have to be "locked" but the door has to be closed enough for the AC interlock to activate.

The door handle has to be in the closed position for the A/C to operate.

Also, make sure that you leave the master switch on the entire cruise- it controls the air! We thought it was a light switch and turned it off leaving the room, and couldn't figure out why the room wasn't cooling! Thankfully, our room steward filled us in on the first day. DH and I prefer to sleep in cooler temperatures, and with the switch on and the door closed, we never had a problem with the temperature!

We are traveling on the Oasis next month and love our room cold too, where is the master switch?

On the wall near the bathroom door.

Cold. Hum. You might was to bring a small fan.
