Piperschic Posted November 2, 2004 #1 Share Posted November 2, 2004 just wondering if there are clock radios in the cabins on the Caribbean Princess. We are sailing in 2 weeks, and I was just curious. I know I shouldn't care that much about the time while on vacation, but hey! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted November 2, 2004 #2 Share Posted November 2, 2004 No - I would bring your own. You can arrange for a wake up call via the telephone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted November 2, 2004 #3 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I have never sailed on a ship that did have clock radios in the cabins. Is this your very first cruise? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmand Posted November 2, 2004 #4 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Just to add a little to the above answers.............digital clock led (lcd?) whatever display on telephone and a TV station that broadcasts ship infomation 24/7 and time with that.

irislady Posted November 2, 2004 #5 Share Posted November 2, 2004 We didn't have a clock on either the Coral or the Grand. Since we had a lot of morning shore excursions on both cruises we brought a long a travel alarm clock. We had been told that the wake up call service isn't 100% reliable and didn't want to oversleep.

OrlEngr Posted November 2, 2004 #6 Share Posted November 2, 2004 We used the phone alarm system ... turned out to be pretty handy since we were constantly changing time zones and it updated automatically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piperschic Posted November 2, 2004 Author #7 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Thanks everyone for the advice. Yes, this is our first cruise. I guess we will go with wake-up calls when needed as well. An alarm clock is one less thing to pack in the suitcase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pxgrant Posted November 2, 2004 #8 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Hi - is there a music station on the TV on the Caribbean Princess or should I bring my portable CD player? Thanks, Peggy Caribbean Princess 11/20 Costa Atlantica 4/01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob & Barb Posted November 2, 2004 #9 Share Posted November 2, 2004 If you use the wake up call system, be sure you punch in AM -- not PM (it's an easy mistake to make) -- or you'll miss your shore excursion! :( I feel more confident with my own little alarm clock. ;) Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserforlife Posted November 2, 2004 #10 Share Posted November 2, 2004 pxgrant, There are music channels on the TV but I would opt for the CD player if I was you...much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyinGA Posted November 2, 2004 #11 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I always pack a small clock radio. We use it to get up in time for an excursion and then I turn on the radio to find a local island station. It's great to get ready in the morning listening to music from the island.

cruznliz Posted November 2, 2004 #12 Share Posted November 2, 2004 My husband insists on bringing an alarm clock that plays "nature sounds" or water sounds. We have slept through the water sounds though! ;) My mother and her cousin slept through a shore excursion in an inside cabin once. Be careful!! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelli Posted November 3, 2004 #13 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I'm one of those people who always has to know what time it is if I wake up in the middle of the night, so I *must* have a clock! We always bring a battery-powered travel alarm clock, because I've seen others post that their plug-in clocks didn't keep the right time. I think it has something to do with the ship's current being somehow uneven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
