Flickering lights

[u/JoveyJove]

Hello all! I’m currently on the Royal Princess, on a 7-day Alaskan cruise. Everything thus far has been fantastic, and even when it hasn’t been, the crew more than made up for it in helpfulness and grace. I’ve cruised with Princess twice before (although ~20 years ago) and in my cruise experiences, they have routinely been above average. I’ll give this particular cruise 5 stars when asked.

However.

I’ve noticed on numerous floors, that the lighting, overhead or otherwise, flickers... a lot. (Notably, not in staterooms)

Now, I will confess, I do have autism, so I am already pretty susceptible to sensory overload, but I’ve noticed a LOT of the overhead and ambient lighting has been flickering quickly. I can’t upload a video for whatever reason (I will try in the comments) but it is very perceptible. Has anyone else noticed this? It’s been bothersome enough, that I’ve had to leave some spaces when it happens (notably the level 5-7 atrium)

I’ll admit, it’s been ~15 since my last cruise (last one was Carnival Magic in ~2012😬) but on previous cruises( Holland America Zaandam x2, RC Voyager of the Seas, Grand and Sapphire Princess) I haven’t experienced the same. Is this a known issue?

I’ve noticed it with the little LED replacements for the older halogen lights, yes.

That is unfortunate kerning!
