maggie0057 Posted February 4, 2016 #26 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Power strips are OK as long as they don't have a surge protector which is a fire hazard due to the type of wiring used on ships http://www.uscg.mil/hq/cg5/csncoe/do...%20Vessels.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specially_K Posted February 4, 2016 #27 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Does anybody have a recent experience with power strips on Carnival ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specially_K Posted February 4, 2016 #28 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I found another thread. The power strip cannot have a surge protector. It was a little bit of a challenge, but I found this one on Amazon. No surge protector and it's super cheap... http://amzn.to/20t4UqZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbobswife Posted February 4, 2016 #29 Share Posted February 4, 2016 If you have a medical need and don't want to risk it getting confiscated, contact the special needs department. They can provide one for you. It doesn't matter if you have a medical note or not. If it is deemed a fire hazard, they will not let you bring it onboard. It is at the sole discretion of Carnival.

wantocruisemore Posted February 4, 2016 #30 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I have a new medical issue and I am planning on bringing a power strip on board for the first time. I lost my hearing recently - All of it - And now have cochlear implants. I need to be able to recharge the batteries for my processors and I also have a small electric dehumidifier unit that I put the processors in overnight, every night. I will beg them not to take the power cord from me. When my batteries die, I cannot her a thing! You may want to contact Special Needs Dept and have a confirmation email with you. That way if questioned at check-in, no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the power strip/extension cord is deemed not up to standards such as if it has a surge protector or appears to not be in good working order, it won't matter if you have a confirmation email or not. Best bet is to bring a brand new cord/strip that doesn't contain a surge protector or have them give you one to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
