Mikeb1892 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Anyone know of any fans that were allowed on board (hopefully looking for a link to Amazon or another retailer for the specific fan that you know was allowed). I received the following from Guest Services and just want to make sure we bring the correct item. Electric fans are allowed onboard as long as the fan has a "certified" sticker such as "UL Certified". What I really need is something that will move a decent amount of air and make a good amount of white noise (not interested in like a 5" battery powered model). Size is not really an issue as we'll be driving to port and it will just be my wife and I in the room (4D balcony Oceanview). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8erguy1978 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 No experience bringing one, but if you ask your stateroom attendant fast enough they might have a box fan for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jticarruthers Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Dont have a link handy but i have a couple of plastic fans from Best Buy that i have never had an issue with. Think they were about $10-$15 each and are 9" fans. Pretty much anything modern is going to be UL certified as far as i know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, did you have them in your checked bags or carry-on? Would this make any difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 I travel with a 10in fan everywhere as I cannot sleep without the noise..and air on warmer nights. I always pack mines in my luggage and I used it on my Mariner cruise in 2019 and will be using one for any future cruises.Most new fans will be UL certified and I ordered mines from Amazon, the only issue would be if you have to use a convertor.

Thanks for the info. We won't need a converter so we should be good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually have them in checked might have carried one on once but cant recall for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho and Barb Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 We use a fan like this one for both cruising and camping. Turned out to a bit hit with the family...Everyone kept borrowing it. We bought all our kids one for Christmas this year. Little thing moves a lot of air and is rechargeable by USB. https://www.amazon.com/gp/slredirect/picassoRedirect.html/ref=sspa_dk_detail_6?ie=UTF8&adId=A014973117LITMT38AX6C&qualifier=1579887637&id=1246602116815284&widgetName=sp_detail&url=%2Fdp%2FB07P41WTQ2%2Fref%3Dsspa_dk_detail_6%3Fpsc%3D1%26pd_rd_i%3DB07P41WTQ2&pd_rd_w=qc0OR&pf_rd_p=45a72588-80f7-4414-9851-786f6c16d42b&pd_rd_wg=dRJ94&pf_rd_r=DWVAZVDJX5DHBKRB28T4&pd_rd_r=73cc40f5-d232-4b38-8be2-0e1e758a2880 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need it for the white noise as well as the air movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it makes just a decent amount of noise to lull you into REM sleep Edited January 24, 2020 by Ampurp85 added info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be very hard to find a commercially available fan that isn't certified (mostly UL in the USA, CE in Europe, etc). As long as you bought it from a store or reputable website, you're almost certainly getting something that will be allowed onboard.

bhageerah Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 This is the model that we have, we keep it in our cruise suitcase and has gone on the past 6 cruises with us. We do not leave it plugged in and running when we are out of the room (something that I have read is highly frowned upon). But it comes out every night due to us loving the white noise, as well as the cooling that it provides! It is pretty powerful as well as sturdy and moves quite a bit of air! https://www.walmart.com/ip/Comfort-Zone-9-HV-3-Speed-All-Metal-Cradle-Fan/21784130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
