brgreens Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Still 2 months out, and continue to be amazed every time I read one of these threads. This sounds like a club having a bouncer hired by the city. Makes about 10% sense. Don't understand why RCCL is unwilling or unable to give passengers (better yet, CUSTOMERS) a clear and consistently enforced policy. If security is overriding the company's policies, then there's a problem at one end or the other. How about I just bring hamsters and wheels to generate my own power? Or are those verboten as well?

Xaa Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Looks like it @KevinK. I'm guessing they nabbed it because of the extension cord attached to it. I bring one that plugs into the European outlet and gives 4 additional USB. Haven't had a problem, but you never know when the wrong person will make the wrong decision. As they tend to be drunk on power, they never listen to reason or change their minds. BrianB and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However some USB outlets with receptacles, and etc... that I cant understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianB Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 My TSA-approved locked checked bag never arrived to my room on embarkation day and my room steward found out it was being held by security because port screeners flagged it. I went down to deck 2 and security showed me a sticker on my bag which said ‘Iron’. I don’t have an iron in my bag. They said they had to wait for me before they could re-scan it onboard in case it needed to be opened. They then scanned it using the onboard X-ray scanner and found………nothing. I offered to open the bag but they said it wasn’t necessary as the scanner showed nothing of interest. Did port security open the bag and take the item, or did onboard security do it with you present? Was your bag locked? Curious……….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will make it onboard, no problem. This device is neither surge protected, nor dos it add any additional A/C outlets to the room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used that exact same Anker charger on Oasis (2022) and Anthem (2019) - no issues either time. We even bought USB-powered fans so that we didn't need to use up a plug.

This is exactly what I'll be trying in 2 weeks. I specifically bought one with a removable power cord. Figure I'll pack the cord in checked and put the USB hub in carry-on for best chances.

Was not a power strip but that said "anything with multiple plugs is a safety issues" and said they had confiscated a ton of them So if you have a trip coming up be mindful Pretty much anything with a cord gets taken. Except curling irons and hair dryers. I have the cube style converter and no problems. I plug it into the European outlet and give me 2 more US ports.

I was thinking of tucking the cord into the CPAP machine, and the hub into carry-on. Out of curiosity, if they confiscate and say you can't take it, can you take it back to your car at the port? Or is it thrown away? What happens to confiscated cords? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CynBeth Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 We will be on a med cruise this summer from Barcelona to Civi port and are coming in a few days early and touring a little after so will need to be able to charge our phones and camera for a 2 week trip. What types of chargers are you saying we would be allowed to have that would not be confiscated? We are concerned what we already have is not acceptable. Thanks!

I’m not sure if you can take it back to your car at that point but don’t see why not. But in either case, they don’t throw away the things confiscated…..they tag it, give you a receipt and as someone on the boards said, keep it in the ‘naughty room’. After the cruise you can pick it up. Bestcee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
