Size of In-Cabin Fridge For Medication

[bennob66]

I am going on the LOS next week and due to my diabetes RCCL have suggested I have a small refrigerator in the cabin to keep the insulin cold. Does anyone know how big these are? As I don't think it is going to be necessary for me to have one actually but it already ordered.

I think there are refrigerators in all of the cabins on Liberty. They're not actually refrigerators but more like a glorified cooler. They will keep things cool but not super cold. The are the size of a small dorm style fridge.

The built in Refrigerator in the cabins is more of a cooler. It will keep things cool and prevent the candy in there from melting but it does not keep things cold!

 

If your medicine needs to be cold then the optional refrigerator is the best thing for you.

You can get your fridge to keep things cold if you leave open the cabinet door a bit. It allows better airflow around the condenser, and coils, which in turn keeps your fridge COLD! I did this on the Monarch, and actually had a slushy bottle of water the next morning. It did make for a painful walk to the bathroom at 4 in the morning!:mad::mad::mad:

Personally I don't trust Cruise Line Refridgerators. They don't cool very well to begin with and equipment failure has been known to happen. Than what are you going to do.

I don't travel with insulation but do travel with meds that need refridgerating. I use the small cooler I carry on the plane instead. Everything gets packed in ziplock bags and I have the cabin stewart deliver ice a couple of times a day. Never had a problem doing it this way and don't have to worry whether or not it's being cooled correctly.

The medical refrigerators that RCI supply will fit in the gap under the vanity

We purchased a small cooling device on one of the diabetic websites. It plugs in to electricity and stores 2 bottles of insulin. It will keep things cool for 24 hours even when not plugged in. This has made travel so much easier.

Cool you please give a name or more information on the device that you purchased off the diabetic website. I would be very interested for my husbands meds.

 

Thanks
