billyrabbit Posted February 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2017 We are looking to an upcoming cruise on the Zaandam. We have two tablets and two cameras that will need to be provided with a re-charge now and then. Is the 110V outlet a standard 3 prong outlet or just a 2 prong outlet? I've read that you can't use your own powerbar, especially if it is surge protected. Does the front desk charge for an approved power bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We carry a couple of cord splitters in our MacGyver bag. They are 3 prong and have no surge protection. Look on Amazon for cord splitters or outlet extenders. They'll run you around $7.

billyrabbit Posted February 17, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Thanks. I do have a 3 prong extender, not surge protected and not a power bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted February 17, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Does the front desk charge for an approved power bar?I believe there is a $20 deposit to ensure its return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerd99 Posted February 17, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Wouldn't a charger with multiple USB outlets be a solution? Like this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted February 17, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Thanks. I do have a 3 prong extender, not surge protected and not a power bar. That should do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequim88 Posted February 17, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 17, 2017 We usually charge some of the electronics on the 220v outlet. As long as the device's transformer (power brick) or internal transformer allows 220 you're good. We just take a two round pin to regular flat blade plug adapter. Just check that the transformer or device says "Input: 110~220v". Plug adapters are cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
