chengkp75 Posted July 2, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 2, 2016 $2-3 power strip from Walmart or Home Depot, about 2-3' long. At that price it will definitely not have a surge protector and therefore safe to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treven Posted July 2, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) I have the type of simple power strip that Chengkp75 mentioned/recommended It has 4 or 5 receptacles which is "usually" enuff for all yer "gadgets/toys"🤓 Edited July 2, 2016 by Treven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzincurt Posted July 3, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) I would make sure it has a UL or ETL sticker. On our recent NCL Escape cruise, the receptacle power goes off when you leave the cabin, unless you insert a dummy card into the holder at the door. But the indicator outside the door will then also indicate OCCUPIED. Edited July 3, 2016 by cruzincurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great product. Carley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a similar product which I used on a cruise. I found that with the short power cord, all my charging toys were crowded almost one on top of another. With the longer cord, about 2' long, it provides more "elbow room" when charging things at one time. I can have my iPad and camera recharging off to the side while I'm on my laptop, plugged in, and Photoshopping that days pix. Since then I just use it on one of the kitchen counters, and it handles the plug from the fridge, my Keurig, and my phone. Just my personal opinion.
