Pattycruise Posted October 20, 2024 Report Posted October 20, 2024 During our current cruise technicians added motion sensor lights that go on in low light/no light situations when motion is detected near them in the cabins. They are located just outside the bathroom. It’s quite bright and stays on 20 seconds-longer if you are constantly moving near it. pic of it off when the overhead light is on and on when overhead is off and you move near it SplashOfWater 1 Quote
SplashOfWater Posted October 20, 2024 Report Posted October 20, 2024 Is there a way to shut it off? It seems like it could either be very helpful or really annoying. RCIfan1912 1 Quote

Nope some reported to use the round magnet that’s on the doors day one but idk how they did that as those magnets were removed on day one (the ones about staterooms and luggage or whatever it says) i did try the rectangular “sleeping off the adventure” magnet but it would not stay on. I agree it could be annoying! SplashOfWater 1 Quote
FOB Posted October 20, 2024 Report Posted October 20, 2024 Had this on Jewel in August/ September and it wasn’t that bad. Yes it goes on but it isn’t full cabin bright and it is better than stumbling in darkness to the bathroom on the ships that don’t have a nightlight in the bathroom Quote
SebagoSue Posted October 20, 2024 Report Posted October 20, 2024 Had this on Grandeur last week also. Quote
smokeybandit Posted October 20, 2024 Report Posted October 20, 2024 My cabin on Jewel this week has one under the closet door. Pretty nice Quote
WAAAYTOOO Posted October 20, 2024 Report Posted October 20, 2024 There is one in our cabin on EN. I think it’s great ! Goes off quickly once you are no longer in the vicinity and does not come on at all during the day. I wish there was one inside the closet but this one outside the bathroom is awesome ! rjweber3, LTR, Pattycruise and 2 others 5 Quote
steverk Posted October 20, 2024 Report Posted October 20, 2024 I'm on Radiance and they just installed it. Overall I don't like it, but it would be nice of you're in the room alone, but not so great if there are 2 in the room. I'm going to experiment with bringing magnets to cover it. Quote
Shari Posted October 20, 2024 Report Posted October 20, 2024 Please post the "turn off" hack once someone comes up with one. I hate lights at night so when hubby goes to the bathroom at night it would drive me crazy! We are going to be on Jewel in December. Baked Alaska 1 Quote

Cakemeister Posted October 20, 2024 Report Posted October 20, 2024 Seems like some cloth cut to fit, some magnets, and maybe an old cd-rom should do the trick. Quote
wordell1 Posted October 20, 2024 Report Posted October 20, 2024 Why would they do that? I don't even like when the bathroom light switch is on the outside of the door. There is no reason my wife needs to wake up when I need to go to the bathroom in the night. Shari and ChessE4 2 Quote

When I see changes like this I usually think “lawsuit” or to mitigate injuries. I don’t recall seeing outrage or discussion over a lack of motion sensor lights like we saw when there was a threat of “pay for pizza”. wordell1 and Baked Alaska 2 Quote
ChessE4 Posted October 20, 2024 Report Posted October 20, 2024 Vision has it, and I found it annoying, but if it prevents falls, maybe we'll hear "alpha" less often. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote
InmyElement Posted October 21, 2024 Report Posted October 21, 2024 Oh boy, not sure if I'm going to like that. On Symphony wenhad the night light included in the bathroom light, it was great no wakey wakey for Trisha when I get up early or in the middle of the night. I'm thinking 4 magnet hooks and a cruise compass might cure that as long its LED, not incandescent lol Quote
tjcruisers Posted October 21, 2024 Report Posted October 21, 2024 Won’t bother me, but will probably annoy the wife. From a safety perspective it makes sense Quote
LTR Posted October 21, 2024 Report Posted October 21, 2024 We had it on Enchantment and it was great! As a drink package user I am often up throughout the night to go to the washroom, and it was a nice soft warm glow, not very bright, and helped me find my way without having to turn on the bright over heads or take my phone with me. I doubt it will wake anyone up, I mean maybe, but it was so dim in my room it just provided enough light so you could safely make your way. And it shuts off so quickly as well. But for those who really need no windows and absolute darkness to sleep, maybe the cabin attend can assist, or like others are suggesting I'm sure someone will post a good way to cover the sensor.

But the ones I had on Grandeur and Navigator previously were like the one pictured and they were extremely annoying. They really either need to be less bright like the ones on the Quantum and some Oasis class ships or have a way to turn them completely off. SplashOfWater 1 Quote
Curt From Canada Posted November 4, 2024 Report Posted November 4, 2024 As a PSA see below … I hope I was able to download the picture attached properly. This “hack” worked perfectly on our current cruise. (We use the magnetic night lights which are PERFECT … 2-3 are more than enough). I hope this helps … Curt from Canada steverk, WAAAYTOOO and billdauterive 2 1 Quote
SplashOfWater Posted November 4, 2024 Report Posted November 4, 2024 We are currently on Radiance and our motion light is not as bright as I thought it would be. It's more of an orangey glow than a bright white light. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote

Over the past few days, we have had: 1). No annoying “ball of fire” nightlight pulsating outside our bathroom door. 2). 3 linked WYZE nightlights creating a safe pathway to the bathroom and a discreet nightlight in the bathroom. (The magnetic feature is one of its best ones). 3). A brilliant statement attendant who keeps our room clean, intact and safe without creating extra work for them or us. Perfect harmony … and we are not even on that ship. I hope this helps … Curt from Canada Quote
