BugMeNot:

Instead, you guys blabble about how to wake up. That wouldn't be a case though, because every portable electronic comes standard with an alarm feature now.

And you seem to like to "blabble" false statements. 

My portable DVD player doesn't have an alarm feature, and all one needs is just one example to prove that your "every" is unfortunately a wrong premise. 

I like to point out, that a lot of what I have learned from these discussions, come from tangents like those here.  I like them.

Could anyone tell me how the wake up call works? Do they personally call you to wake you or do u just program what time u need to get up and the phone rings? I only need to wake up so im not late for working out and getting ready for the ports

The wake up call works thus: From your cabin phone you call a number that connects you to a computer. It prompts you to enter the time in 24-hour format, 0530 for 5:30 AM and 1730 for 5:30 PM. After it misinterprets what you entered, you try again a couple of times and get it worked out. At the designated time your phone rings and you trip over the shoes you left on the cabin floor. Picking yourself up, you make your way to the phone only to stub your toe on the chair you left in the way. Cursing under your breath, you pick up the phone and listen to some computerized garbage that you can't understand in your sleep. pain, and rage-induced haze. You slam the phone down and head back towards the bed, carefully avoiding the chair and shoes, wishing you had an alarm clock with a gentle beep and a snooze button.

Or something like that.

For the most part personalized wake up calls and knock up service disappeared long ago at all but the smallest and swankiest of resorts. But at least many of them have alarm clocks with iPod docks. Bring your own speakers if you want music in your cabin other than the marginal selections on the TV.

I,and my group has NEVER used a wake up call.The minute one of us wakes up,we get the others up.It is a group deal.We hit the breakfast buffet on the Lido Deck for fresh fruit,to replace the brain cells we lost the night before.,and we are ready to go.

Larry  Where have you been, I never see you on her any more?

I am here but tired of folks that only want to hear what they want and not the truth or the real answer.

(the wake up works SOOOO much better when the phone is actually next to the bed.  But this is SOOOO much more entertaining.)
