Kelz Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Can I bring this on the ship or is this one prohibited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristenM Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 @Kelz they only allow non surge protectors, and even the non ones can be confiscated depending on the crew. What I mean is, surge protectors are prohibited and on paper the non surge protectors are allowed. Every once in awhile someone reports that a non surge was taken (you pick up anything that was confiscated as you get off the ship). I was going to ask you what kind this is, but from the picture I see the word “protected” with a little status light above it so I’m going to guess it is, and likely crew would also. I would suggest a product that specifically says “non surge protection” and “ship approved”. There are many options, but here is one as an example.

While looking at that, I came across this that is smaller to travel with and meets the non-surge requirement. But I'm thinking that with the position of the plugs and dresser on the older ships, the bottom outlet of the cube may be unusable. I may get it anyway. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07R15ZQZH/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1 KristenM and CFL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We finally figured it out by using the corkscrew to hold them up! Arghhhhh... jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arghhhhh... jane We have sailed Adventure before and have that and Navigator planned---I remember the plugs to be so close to vanity/desk below it that some allowable "extensions" didn't even fit depending where the prongs were. mom2mybugs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGH ! I hate it when this happens. How in the world can a plug get "stretched out" so that the devices fall out ?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If something in your home stays plugged in, then usually no problems. My wife is a "don't want anything on the counter" person. So after many times plugging appliances in and out, we have had to replace some outlets. I look at it as one of those "if that's my biggest problem, then life is good".

That was even worse because the old ones were the same size prongs and we had to use the plug adaptor. Oh well... Good thing I traveled on majesty with an engineer lol!

pezgirl Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 I have a hearing aid charger that has to be plugged in overnight plus chargers for other things. Any thoughts on how to handle this is there is a very limited number of outlets? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest getting a NON surge extender like those shown above by @KristenM or me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just bringing our charging "station" from home since it is compact enough, but below is an example of what I am talking about. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FX8GF5M/ref=sspa_dk_detail_7?psc=1 CFL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
