Depends.  Different ship and different decks on a ship can have different windows.  Some are porthole style (small round) some are large rectangular, some forward facing are nearly floor to ceiling but angled.  

 

Thank you.

Guessing porthole as a window only.

That should be fine, yes you can bring cables.

Ok.

That's a power strip USB combo. You can try but others have said it will be confiscated. If it's just a USB charger you should be fine.

Ok must be a new policy sense they keep advertising them as cruise accepted.

I just got something like this https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charger-Foldable-PowerPort-Samsung/dp/B00VH8G1SY/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=4+port+usb+plug&qid=1574057090&sr=8-3

Hopefully that is ok.

BTW am I allowed my charging cable for my Battery Powerbank ?

Have something similar and they didn't say anything about it. Just no power strips or combo power strip/USB charger. They will confiscate those.

What about this ?

Just to be sure what about one this big as a battery backup powerbank ?

I don’t remember seeing anything against it in the prohibited items list. The one that I brought in my carryon doubles as a usb hub charger and a power bank and no questions were asked when we went through security:

Anker Powercore Fusion

 

Thanks I didn't even realize they had a device with dual purposes like that.

Really cool!

Something like a battery backup power bank ?

Which ship?

Older ships can have in some cases only two 110v North American outlets.

Newer ships tend to have two 110v North American outlets and one 220v Euro power port.  Some newer ships have a 110v North American outlet by the bed on one side.

Even that isn't absolute, it varies by ship. 

Not sure yet because we haven't booked it yet but will within a month or less.

Any website that lists all cruise ships to find this info on or not really ?

With how many plugs on each ?

Are battery backups allowed ?

To have a backup power source if the ship breaks down or loses power.

What is the best deck to be on during a cruise ?

Please tell me if the internet actually works on Allure of the Seas ?  I paid for WiFi on Carnival and it NEVER WORKED A WASTE OF MONEY. 

Carnival internet worked for me when I been on that cruise company ship.

It was slow but worked. I could browse the web which is all I wanted to do.

This may sound weird or stupid but I am worried if we say what VPN works Royal Caribbean then may block it

Not saying it will happen just saying it is possible. This is a public forum after all.

Exactly what @twangster said... We've had inside cabins with better service than balcony cabins.  It's all about proximity to the access points.  That and the VOOM on some of the ships is just downright awful but that's another discussion.

As long as I can get 512 Kbps or 768 Kbps I will be fine.

I want to make sure I can actually use Voom Surf and Stream if I get it.

Like for milk in the morning.

Without a drink package

Only 12? 

Like when you getting checked in.

What do you all use to hold your passport when going through the line?

I am highly doubting it but not sure if anyone has tried ?

It is the one for $19. I can't figure it out. Is it only the normal Voom of surf or Voom surf and stream ?

Why do we keep getting this error?
