Will iPads fit in crown princess room safe?

[KATHY@HOME]

Hi, plan to take my ipad onto the ship but want to leave it behind on port days. Will it fit in the safe in our room? Any other ideas? Thanks!

[chipmaster]

I have always tucked laptop and or iPad into a drawer in a cabin or hotel room and have never found an issue.

The iPad will fit in the cabin safe with room to spare!

This is for work/personal use, doing a 20 day trip and may increase it to a 32 day trip. At one time, if you were really fast you could get a larger safe at the check in desk~what ever that is called? Think that might ave been princess or a carnival ship many years ago. Would consider a special security system for it if too big for safe. Anyone crammed their iPad in the safe?...

:). Thanks for update! :D

There's only one-sized safe in the cabins that is attached to the wall and not removable. If you are that concerned, you can take your iPad to the Passenger Services Desk when not in use and ask them to store it in their safe. I've always just left my iPad/notebook/whatever either out on the desk or in a drawer. I've never had a problem nor have I ever heard of anyone having a problem.

I don't know what size safes other have run across on Princess but we've always had the typical small safe as shown and it doesn't appear that an Ipad would fit.

I leave my IPad,camera,phone and Ipod out to charge and nothing has gone missing on 33 Princess cruises.I have often forgotten to close the safe with thousands of dollars in my travel wallet and nothing was ever missing.

Yes, your iPad will fit in the safe if you feel the need to lock it up.

Was on Crown 2 weeks ago & stored iPad in safe when not in use. Fits in easily with lots room for other items.

Should you wish to take it ashore, there were many coffee shops, restaurants & bars at each port offering free wifi.

I agree with Pam. I have never had a laptop taken, or anything else for that matter. In Hotels I will never leave anything out.

We always leave things out in the cabin and have never had a problem. On our last cruise, our son had three cameras and lots of equipment worth over $15,000 and he left it out on the couch most of the time. We each left our laptops out. Hopefully he will lighten the load next time but I felt safe leaving the things out.

On a cruise years ago, a friend had his watch missing one afternoon. Security was down to his cabin in no time. There is a record of everytime the door is open. Not sure what happened but the next day, his watch was returned.

As others have posted, I too leave my IPad out on the desk, for instance while I'm out on an excursion, without a problem. In addition I tend to leave out my laptop and cameras out on the desk, charging.

Never had a problem leaving my tablet or laptop on the cabin desk...but putting them in a drawer would likely be a good idea.

I store my iPad in the drawer, though it will fit in the safe.

[DaisyandSika]

My iPad would not fit in our safe on the Golden. I kept it in the drawer under my socks. Not that I was worried it would go missing, but that I didn't have time to use it.

[KATHY@HOME]

Since this is used for work, and play, wanted to keep it locked up when not with me . Would be sick if it was lost or taken as it was a birthday gift. I know my brother in law keeps his work computer in the US as per his agreement with them. Thanks for all the different ideas. Glad to hear so many have had positive experiences. I prefer to use the safe for phones, passports, credit cards, money and other special items. Thanks again for all real life experiences.

 

I worked at a place in Houston that if your keys went missing, you had no car to drive home that night.:eek: Got in the habit of keeping $ in my pocket with my keys and that was in a hospital setting! So keep the good stuff home when in a hospital, they are not liable unless it is locked in their safe!:D

Try the safe, if not, buy those TSA locks, put the iPad in your luggage and lock them in. By the way, all ships we have taken have terrible very expensive WiFi and cellular service is rare, good to know in case your iPad works with cellular service.

The iPad fits for sure on the Diamond and Sapphire. Someone else said it fits on the Crown, so use it as you will feel safer, considering work, etc.

Doesn't the Apple Ipad come in different sizes like some of the other manufactures?

ie. Samsung makes 7 and 10 inch tablets.

[Roses2]

We totally agree with Pam, et, al.

We never lock up our computers, kindles, tablets, cameras, or phones while on a cruise and see no reason to start now.

The iPad is one size. Sometimes the protective cases alter the total units size LE weight.
