crooshow Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I will be cruising on Majesty of the Sea in October 2017 and I was wondering if power strip are allowed onboard, if so what kind. I have a UL listed power strip(not surge protected) that I use on Carnival that I would like to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Switched to RCI last year after a run of Carnival cruises. Policy regarding this is pretty similar. Execution of policy pretty similar. I only bring simple extension cords that have 3 outlets. A power strip, even without surge could appear to be a prohibited item on both lines. The security folks checking are not electrical engineers and will err on the side of caution. I once had a plain and simple extension cord confiscated on Carnival. Now I bring two, one in carry on and one in checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitsmom Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I just took a multiple USB charger so that I could charge my iPhone, iPad, and iWatch. I got mine on Amazon and there are many to choose from. I packed it in my checked luggage and did not have any issues. I didn't have anything else to charge so I am not sure about the other type of extension coil/power strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
