tmyersc Posted September 27, 2011 #1 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I have a cpap machine I have to sleep with every night. So my question is if i bring a extension cord will they take it? My machine's cord isn't very long. Has anyone been in my situation before? Thanks in advance T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Wanna_Cruize Posted September 27, 2011 #2 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I would say if you pack the extension cord alongside the cpap machine in question, it is much more likely that it will make it through. You might want to carry on both items to be sure nothing happens to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted September 27, 2011 #3 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I would pack it with the CPAP so they know its for that. I recently had one taken so you do have to have a medical reason to be sure of getting it on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWolver672 Posted September 27, 2011 #4 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Make sure it's in good condition. No tape or frayed cords. I would buy a new one just to make sure. You'll only need about a 20 footer and you can always use another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted September 27, 2011 #5 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Here we go again ... Carnival's lack of consistent enforcement of policy on these matters (confiscation of items which shouldn't be) frankly pisses me off. I have been harassed one too many times, and it's part of the reason that we branched out more to other lines. The other reasons, you may ask? LOL... ;) Sure, we will probably sail Carnival again - but right now we have 1 Celebrity and 3 NCL sailings booked. There were times in the past when we had several sailings booked (ALL Carnival). Those days are gone. BTW - I doubt whatever they conjure up in terms of the "new" past guest program will be any type of motivating factor for me! To the OP: good luck! Though if everything is in good repair, you shouldn't have any problem. I say shouldn't, but their inconsistency is the wild card. The worst that may happen is that you have to threaten to leave the ship over it (like I had to do)! What a way to start a vacation --- defending your rights...:rolleyes: Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
near the beach Posted September 27, 2011 #6 Share Posted September 27, 2011 A twelve foot one should do. I carry one with my CPAP machine. I brought one on my last seven cruises without any problems at all. If you need to run it across the floor of your cabin at night. You can cover it with the luggage pad that was on the bed when you first enter your cabin. You can get distilled water from room service so you won’t have to carry any around with you until you get to your cabin. It might be a good idea if you tell Carnival in advance that you will be bringing your CPAP machine on board. Have a fun cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balcony bound Posted September 27, 2011 #7 Share Posted September 27, 2011 We always have one packed with DHs CPAP. On our Dream cruise a couple weeks ago, I was pretty impressed. We dropped our carryon things in our cabin, then went off to the spa, get some lunch, those types of things. When we returned, our cabin steward (who we hadn't met yet) had already brought an extension cord in and placed it next to DHs CPAP. Very nice service!! We made sure we used the one he brought.
