It will not as my tablet is 10.5 and barely fits. 12thman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

souledgar Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Is theft a huge concern with electronics in the cabin? Moby Dick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 In my opinion... theft can occur anywhere, but my biggest concern doesn't always start with my cabin attendant directly. They might prop a door open on a cabin while they clean it and then a fellow guest walking past could seize the opportunity to dash in and grab something in plain sight. With my cabin attendant in the bathroom cleaning it, there could be a brief moment for a scum bag to dash in and dart out. For this reason I don't leave things out in plain sight. Could a crew member enter your cabin and steal something? Possibly but IMO that is unlikely. Thy might get away with it once but if they repeated the crime it would be pretty obvious to ship security that they are a stealing. If caught they would be put off in the next port without a ticket home. That's a pretty big deterrent compared to a fellow guest who doesn't think that would ever happen to them. teddy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12thman Posted April 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Well, any place outside my home my electronics and things of value (monetarily or sentimental) gets locked up. Had items stolen and not a feeling I want to experience again. Really don't think a room attendant would take something, my concern would be someone passing by.

MikeK Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 I have never had anything stolen on any cruise. I think if you just hide it out of plain site it would be fine. Moby Dick, JennyB and princevaliantus 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ1231 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 In a suitcase under the bed works for me. It would take some time and "rumbling" to get to it AND they would have to know it was there to begin with. Moby Dick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick M Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 I think if you put it out of plain sight, like a drawer, you should be fine. I too have never had anything taken from my room. KristiZ and Moby Dick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 We bought the base model iPad for travel. It will fit in a safe and offers a large enough screen to be usable. We also keep it by the couch in our great room at home. We use it a quite bit more at home than I thought so it isn't just a nice to have travel item.

CruisingNewb Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 I may be wrong, but the safe sizes differ in each class of stateroom. I think, but could be wrong, that certain suites have bigger safes. Can anyone verify this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the cameras in the hallway. As a retired security professional, I too try to secure whatever I can whenever I leave my room/cabin. HOWEVER, my laptop is about the only thing that I MAY leave out when I leave the room. I don't leave it where it is easily viewable and I make sure it is powered off, I don't store any C.C. numbers in it, I try not to use any autofill features, it is password protected, I use an external hard drive to store any/all important documents on/in, I log off of all cloud accounts. If someone wants to take my laptop and can defeat my password protection, they're in for a great several hours of viewing my personal/family photos and videos. Everything else of great value goes into the safe, wallet, cash, passports, phone, other small electronics, etc. Doesn't leave room for a laptop. So, I'm good.
