Viking cabin trivia:

 

Cruise Critic members will no doubt be well equipped with smartphones, tablets, cameras, and various other gadgets needing to be charged daily. The DV cabins (and no doubt other categories) have two handy USB charger jacks on either side of the bed, integrated into the bedside table. One is marked "High Power". For those curious about such things, the high power jack can supply up to 2A of current, at the standard 5 volts. The other is good for 1A.

 

However, be advised that when your key card has been removed from the receptacle next to the door, both jacks supply No Power. When you remove your key card from the slot, power to the USB jacks is shut off after a few minutes, along with various lights in the cabin. For a few days now, we've wondered why iPads left charging during the day (when we were out and about) never seemed to get charged up fully.

 

Power to the 110 and 220 volt outlets next to the desk are not deactivated when the key card is absent.
