Best extension cord or extra wall plug ins

[sdaughs]

Best thing to buy for a cruise to get extra outlets for all our gadgets, including our teenagers stuff?

$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.

Just make sure it does not have surge protection.

Small, compact -- have used it many times with no problem.

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.

+1 Easy to pack. If your travels involve int'l land accommodations, may as well add plug adapters

I second your opinion - use it all the time; works great; takes up very little room in bag! Great product.

Personally I think it's just too small; or rather the cord itself is just too short. 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.
