kittysoul Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 I have seen a lot of conflicting information regarding bringing a power pack with extra outlets/usb ports... Some people say you cant take anything like this and some say you can bring them , just not a surge protector. Can someone tell me for sure if something like this one at amazon, would be okay? Will I need it even... i keep hearing that the rooms only have one outlet? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BHVKPC3?psc=1&pf_rd_p=353e4c0d-d3b2-4745-8e6f-c332615c1250&pf_rd_r=WVFK22V1HYT2G2KC3APE&pd_rd_wg=b7ZZC&pd_rd_i=B07BHVKPC3&pd_rd_w=H0XIr&pd_rd_r=10d2fa63-4852-47d4-a460-12e79070a302&ref_=pd_luc_rh_pd_luc_ac_nb_02_04_t_img_lh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your phone uses a USB-C port for the charging cable, I would recommend buying something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Anker-Premium-Desktop-Delivery/dp/B072K5ZJXF/ref=sr_1_13?keywords=anker+usb+c+hub&qid=1562544230&s=gateway&sr=8-13 If you don't need USB-C, this would work: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-5-Port-Charger-PowerPort-iPhone/dp/B00VH8ZW02/ref=sr_1_18?keywords=anker+usb+hub&qid=1562544315&s=gateway&sr=8-18 Then you can plug everything that charges via USB though that hub. Sometimes I'll bring my European to US power plug adapter (something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Ceptics-CT-9C-Europe-Travel-Adapter/dp/B01NCZJ5UN/ref=sr_1_3?crid=M0OHERJ090DL&keywords=european+power+adapter&qid=1562544436&s=gateway&sprefix=european+power+%2Caps%2C132&sr=8-3) and then use that for the USB hub, freeing up the US style port for my camera battery charger, that needs to plug directly into an outlet.

kittysoul Posted July 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 @karl_nj thank you! Yes, these seem like they would be much more easily approved ...that other device seemed iffy on whether they would approve it.. I will check into these further!

mom2mybugs Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 I agree .... The USB ones are never confiscated but the power strip ones, even without surge protector, are sometimes taken. I have an old plug adaptor that basically turns one plug into 3... It's not a strip... And that works really well. Also, definitely being a European plug adapter because that is super cheap and gives you another plug! Jane Skid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No issue bringing onboard in my luggage. On Explorer though I couldn't find a plug that wasn't crowded or recessed (can't remember which issue it was) to use it. On Mariner the only plug accessible was the one behind the living room TV in the family suite but was able to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
