zlacruising Posted February 16, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I read on CC that a NCL cruiser's extension cord was taken away. I always bring one. It is a regular one I use for a fan or charging things. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I've taken lots of cruises and never had a problem. Anyone???

Demonyte Posted February 16, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Never had that happen on any NCL ship. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoofyCrew Posted February 16, 2015 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2015 We didn't bring one (because I had heard they were taken away) but WOW, I sure wish I had at least tried! What a PIA to try to charge a family of 4 worth of electronics. :S I will DEFINITELY bring one next time and risk confiscation. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhea98 Posted February 16, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I always bring one in my "tech" bag which I carry onboard. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband has an extension cord in his CPAP case and has used it on every cruise with no problem. I'd never heard of an extension cord being taken away. It is power strips that have a surge control that ships are usually concerned about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annmeat Posted February 16, 2015 #8 Share Posted February 16, 2015 The NCL special needs form that I found on a travel site specifically asks guests with CPAP to bring an extension cord. Cannot seem to paste the document here. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycarla Posted February 16, 2015 #9 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Really? Yes, providing a link to information is VERY HELPFUL. In this case, it would be a link to bad information. Extension cords are perfectly acceptable onboard. And, if somebody said it was not, why not discuss it on THAT thread vs coming here and saying "so and so said....."

Guindalf Posted February 16, 2015 #10 Share Posted February 16, 2015 We didn't take one on our last cruise three weeks ago and we had maintenance bring one and even tape it down for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aubreyc1988 Posted February 16, 2015 #11 Share Posted February 16, 2015 took one on the jewel with no problem last week and we have never had a problem on any cruise line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zlacruising Posted February 16, 2015 Author #14 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thank you for the people that had kind replys!!!:) It was written by someone going on the Escape for New Year's next year. That would be your link if you are so inclined to look for the "so and so" who posted it. I didn't post there because I haven't decided if I was going or not. Next time I have a question I will call NCL and ask them! I'm sure they would have a nice answer. Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruizinrican Posted February 16, 2015 #16 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I've actually have used both, an extension cord and power strip, not at the same time, one or the other. I have never gotten either taken away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all fairness, how can you ask us to address an issue when you apparently don't want anyone to see the actual posting? If I'm going to address, either in support of or against, something that someone else said, I at least deserve to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you looking for an argument or something? b) you seemingly refuse to provide any concrete information on this alleged post about extension cords that you supposedly read. Does this post even exist? Why not just give the link instead of the hard time? You were asked nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kato92 Posted February 17, 2015 #20 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Just understand...I know of no reason an extemsion cord would be confiscated. Bring it with you or ask customer service for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the Escape has not yet sailed, nobody could even post that an extension cord was an issue. If you had just asked if you could take an extension cord, people would have said yes. But, since you said you had read on CC that you could not, folks wanted to not only help you, but to clear up where that bad information came from. And, it is bad.

bambilin Posted February 17, 2015 #25 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Been on 27 cruises, brought a power strip on every one after the first and never had an issue. My hubby uses a CPAP machine and the room steward asked if we need one on the last cruis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
