Bruin Steve Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 I've done a lot of cruises since I've started using a CPAP...and have found every ship a little different... On Navigator of the Seas, there are no outlets anywhere near the back of the bed...so I've had to request an extension cord...and string it all along the walls, clear around the cabin. On Celebrity Apex--a brand new ship--we were in a Sky Suite and they had an outlet right at at the nightstand. Why can't all ships be designed like this? On one of the older Celebrity ships, we found the lamp on the nightstand plugged into a Euro outlet right behind the bed...which worked well since I have an adapter that turns a Euro outlet into two outlets--one Euro, one US...So I could unplug the lamp, insert the adapter and then plug in both the lamp and the CPAP. Now, this April, I will be on Symphony of the Seas for the first time on a Western Med cruise. Before I call RCCL to request an extension cord, the question is whether or not there are any usable outlets for a CPAP in a standard balcony cabin... Anyone know? Thanks...

AshleyDillo Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 I had an inside Central Park view and there was an outlet next to the bed under the lamp on the wall, so I would imagine the balcony will have the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruin Steve Posted February 24 Author Report Share Posted February 24 Thanks...That's what I was hoping for. It's nice to not have the extension cord as a tripping hazard in front of the balcony door... WAYNO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaxRebo Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 I am currently on Symphony and just took this picture of the outlet on the side of the bed ... Note there is only an outlet on one side of the bed, nothing on the other We are in an ultra spacious ocean view room Bruin Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobroo Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Although you can not fly with them, I’ve seen a lot of CPAP/O2 users onboard use small, portable power stations. Have you considered using one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireFishII Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 I like to be prepared and plan for the worst. Go ahead and request an extension cord. If you don't need it, you can always hand it back to your attendant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vackman Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 The post @TheMaxRebo had above is the same set-up we had on SOS a few weeks ago with a standard ocean balcony room. The outlet was on the right side of the bed, the bed was set-up close to the balcony sliding door. Our friends room next door had the bed set-up closer to the bathroom, so I don't know which side of the bed they had the power outlet.

KevinJ Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 My wife and I both have CPAPs, it's impossible to find two outlets that don't require an extension cord. I have 12' cords on the CPAPs so they can be strung almost anywhere in the cabin. When we were on Voyager the cabin steward taped the cord down so it wasn't a tripping hazard. I've used multi-prong adapters in the past but recently they've been confiscated at embarkation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
