LadyB Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 We've always known Surge Protectors are not allowed on RCCL ships, but I was just watching a Vlog by Griff & Alyssa on Youtube and they just had they're power strip taken by security. Security told them power strips were no longer allowed on Royal ships. They said people were leaving them plugged in and the strips were over heating and starting fires. This was just yesterday on their cruise to the Caribbean out of San Juan. Has anyone else heard of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Yes. I went on Mariner of the Seas in July. They were taking all power strips regardless if they had a surge protector or not. They were even taking extension cords. They allow long USB cords. spiralqueen and LadyB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluv4n6 Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Yes -- we had a short (3 ft) extension cord confiscated on Oasis earlier this year. LadyB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you pack it in your carry on luggage or in your boarding luggage? I also wonder what they do with all these excess confiscations.

RBRSKI Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 I wonder if they will confiscate the power supply that solely has muti ports for USB's. They are awesome! LadyB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLA Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 I use a USB / Power block when we cruise. I've used it for the last several cruises without issue, but we always make sure to unplug it if we are not in the cabin. LadyB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGTLH Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Wonder if these guys will start getting picked on. Know at Port Everglades and Cape Liberty this got detected in carry on.

twangster Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 San Juan was where I had a simple 2 wire extension cord confiscated only to be replaced with the exact same style extension cord for medical use on board. Same cord made it on board in Miami just fine. San Juan is tough. LadyB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in my packed luggage, so I had to go down to the naughty room on Deck 2 to retrieve my suitcase on Day 1...This was on Oasis in February. Basically the same cord as Twangster's got nabbed. They set aside confiscated items for you to pick up at guest services during disembarkation, but we did self-assist and I didn't bother to wait in another line for a $5 item.

KLA Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Sometime's I've seen the confiscated items in the cruise terminal sitting on a table - usually it's mostly full with confiscated cables but every time I see the table there's always some genius who seems to have tried to bring an iron on board.

NS8VN Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 I think someone was confused. It's Disney Cruise Lines that has Pirate Night. (However, toy swords are also banned on DCL) The whip looks to me like it might have been purchased at a port of call and RCCL politely offered to store it for them until the end of the cruise. I assume they were allowed to hold on to the hat and leather jacket, however. LadyB and JLMoran 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
