Transatlantic Crossing Day 5

Sea day, plus room controls

· 1 min read

  • Start of day: At sea
  • End of day: At sea

The first of many sea days over the duration of the cruise.

Two large ceramic sculptures on round wooden pedestals inside a glass-walled triangular-latticed lounge at the top of the ship, one a woven-textured coral-and-cream vessel, the other a stacked green form. The low sun sets over the Atlantic through the windows, casting a glittering path of light on the water and long shadows across the patterned carpet

Since I never have much to share on sea days, I’ll share this: in the last hour of the last cruise, I discovered I can control the stateroom lights and thermostat from the Celebrity app. Notice the Stateroom icon in the center?

Screenshot of the Celebrity Cruises app home screen showing 'Ship Time 12:19 AM' and 'Today - At Sea' over an overhead illustration of the ship on turquoise water, with a Shortcuts grid below including Cart, Wi-Fi, Depart, Food, Account, Photos, Excursions, Stateroom, Safety, Future Cruise, Videos, Vote, Itinerary, and Tender

It takes you here:

Screenshot of the Celebrity Cruises app's stateroom controls for the living room, showing 'Ship Time 12:20 AM,' a current temperature of 75 °F with up and down arrows, living room lights set to 50%, and scene buttons for Morning, Evening, Sleep, and Movie

Besides the environmental controls, you can also control the TV… but that’s less convenient than just using the remote.

So now you know.

Overall: an average sea day.
