PanamaJack1 Posted July 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I have seen a lot of complaints about this on the board here. I have experienced it myself on Fantasy last week. It was the reason we went 5 years without cruising. It was the same a Hot cabin. Was wondering if it's a Carnival thing or a ship thing? I've only been on Carnival so I don't know.

flounder315 Posted July 26, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 26, 2018 This is why a take a small electric fan every cruise... Even took to Alaska and used everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallFour4 Posted July 26, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 26, 2018 It can vary from room to room. We've been freezing in the summer and warm in the winter. A fan has become standard fare for my carry-on for the past decade. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanamaJack1 Posted July 26, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Are you asking if all the ships' cabins are hot? No, they're not hot. Did you adjust the air flow in your cabin on the Fantasy? Yes we adjusted it but nothing worked. I do know that all of them are not hot. I have tried front mid and the back cabins same result. That's when we stopped going. Had a celebration to go on last week, so we went. First in 5 years. My question is do other cruise lines passengers complain of it too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCbmwmom Posted July 26, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Luckily we’ve never had a hot cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K&RCurt Posted July 26, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 26, 2018 It happens on many ships and all lines. The typical cause is someone on you A/C circuit leaving a balcony door open, which turns off the A/C system in that block. Did you ask for maintenance to look at it? What was the result if you did? If you didn't, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierpop Posted July 26, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I think it’s a personal preference thing. Unless the AC is literally broken. I’ve never had an uncomfortable room temperature. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't, why not? Our neighbors next door and down the hall complained enough. They were told in the end it was working. I just upped the beer consumption so I could sleep. :) We met others from around the ship same complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schazzy Posted July 26, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Last year on the Ecstasy our cabin stayed pretty chilly, but on the Miracle back in May, our cabin was kinda warm to us. One was an Oceanview and the other a Balcony, I don't know if that had anything to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't, why not? Pretty sure Fantasy does not have any balcony cabins unless you book a suite. The only cruise line I've had the hot cabin was on Carnival. Called maintenance twice and both times they came and said the temperature was within their acceptable range. Woke up first 2 nights covered in sweat. They finally gave us a fan.

Lottacruises Posted July 26, 2018 #12 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Some are warmer and some are cooler, across most lines. Sometimes guest services will provide a fan if you complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted July 26, 2018 #13 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I have been on 5 different Carnival ships and am always freezing!! We have to try to turn down the aircon most of the time. We have never ever been too warm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishteacher702 Posted July 26, 2018 #14 Share Posted July 26, 2018 When we stayed on the Inspiration, our room was fine; however, last year on the Magic our room was really warm. We had them give us a fan last year, but it was a huge box fan which even on low blew everything everywhere. This year we stopped at a Walmart before we got on the ship and bought this fan: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-9-Personal-3-Speed-Fan-Model-MBF-918-Black/48947418 Best $10 we spent. It was also small enough we managed to fit in in our luggage to bring home. Where it really gets warm for us is when we are getting ready for dinner With both showers going, then my hair dryer, the humidity kicks up, and we fall apart. We are from Vegas though where it is a wonderful 115 degree DRY heat LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Hi there I have never had a cabin that I would consider "hot" (inside, OV, or balcony, on any cruise line). In fact when the cooling is working, I find myself turning it to a slightly warmer setting. Very often I notice it is the cabin steward who is turning it cooler. What I was wondering, is what temperature was your cabin? What did they say was the "acceptable range"? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dna529 Posted July 27, 2018 #16 Share Posted July 27, 2018 We have had it happen on both Carnival and NCL. Both times they have maintenance come and say it is in their acceptable range. I'm not sure what causes the problem. Sent from my SM-G930V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crooooze Posted July 27, 2018 #18 Share Posted July 27, 2018 The temp in our cabin on the Glory was too hot. After 2 days of complaining, they adjusted it. But, they adjusted it too much and we froze the rest of the cruise. Oh, well. Be careful of what you ask for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember people advising me to keep my curtains drawn during the day to block out the sun but I was in an inside cabin. lol We slept with just the sheet on and still woke up sweating. The fan made it much more easy to sleep, thankfully. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wms99 Posted July 27, 2018 #21 Share Posted July 27, 2018 On another thread a guy was complaining about their room being to hot. Then after 3 pages of replies, he said he keeps his house at 68 in the summer, and his cabin was only 72F. That really isn't hot. So post your room temp, post what you want it to be, and is it reasonable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamecock_Cruiser Posted July 27, 2018 #22 Share Posted July 27, 2018 i have discovered that the Fantasy class ships with the blast A/C seem to have the coolest cabins. On the Glory and Freedom, our cabin was in the upper 70's at night, which was VERY warm for our liking when trying to sleep. Both cruise, maintenance seemed to think that was acceptable. But only our cabin was the warm. The public in areas in the ship were much cooler and more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But only our cabin was the warm. The public in areas in the ship were much cooler and more comfortable. Well, that probably explains it then, most of my previous cruises have been on Fantasy-class and always had a cold cabin on them, so I was surprised when our cabin was kinda warmer than we like on the Miracle. Just out of curiosity, can anyone tell me how the A/C was on the Sunshine? More specifically the cabins on deck 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dna529 Posted July 27, 2018 #24 Share Posted July 27, 2018 We were on deck 6 on the Sunshine and we were comfortable. We keep it around 71 at home. Sent from my SM-G930V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
