gigito2 Posted April 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I've read conflicting info lately. Can anyone confirm whether or not they're allowed? I've read they're allowed if they're not surge protectors; and some say they're not allowed at all. Are they necessary? We're a group of 3 women travelling together along with all our accouterments and electronic gadgets. We don't need alot of outlets, but I get the impression there's only 1 in each room??? Tried to search thru Carnival's FAQ's page to no avail. If anyone knows of a source I could access for such info, that would be appreciated. TIA!

cruizinisthebest Posted April 25, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2017 People bring them. They are allowed so long as there is NO SURGE PROTECTOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schoifmom Posted April 25, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 25, 2017 https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2822/~/electric-outlets Power strips, multi plug box outlets/adaptors and extension cords (without surge protectors) are allowed on board when used with proper caution. However, if such devices are determined to pose a hazard, they will be removed and returned the last day of the cruise prior to debark. Power strips are allowed as long as they do not have surge protectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you follow the comments, it looks like that one would be confiscated. This message may have been entered using voice recognition. Please excuse any typos.

gigito2 Posted April 25, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Yikes! Would it be because there are too many "plugs"? I think I'll look for something w/ USB ports for iPhones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUU Posted April 25, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 25, 2017 No. It is because according to the Belkin rep in the comments, it has surge protection. This message may have been entered using voice recognition. Please excuse any typos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hftmrock Posted April 25, 2017 #14 Share Posted April 25, 2017 This is all you need http://www.homedepot.com/p/6-Outlet-Power-Strip-F9P609-03-DP/100654575 interestingly enough this is listed as a surge protection on the Belkin site. It might be a mistake but if you go to the belkin site for this power strip the top tab is listed home > products > power > Surge Protection again it might be wrong but it is this way on the Belkin Site http://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F9P609-03/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbum53 Posted April 25, 2017 #15 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Just FYI gigito2, the standard cord length on most power strips is 36". Since the outlet in the cabin is just above the vanity/desk, a three foot cord isn't really needed, and it can be difficult to get the power strip to stay close to the wall so as to take up as little space as possible on the desk. I did some searching and found power strips (without surge protectors) with a 24" cord at Meijer and K-Mart. Just an option you might want to consider.

chengkp75 Posted April 26, 2017 #16 Share Posted April 26, 2017 The power strip mentioned from Home Depot is actually one of the few Belkin items that is not surge protected. As one of the answers states in the HD review, the Belkin rep links to a different product, and most Belkin power strips are indeed surge protected. But note the difference in price, the one Belkin says is surge protected is 4 times the cost, and this is the key. A $4-5 power strip will not be surge protected. Belkin's site lists this under "surge protection" merely because they don't have a separate grouping of power strips or devices that are not surge protected.

Organized Chaos Posted April 26, 2017 #17 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I like taking a long extension cord (last time I took one 8 ft. long) and a 3-way outlet adapter. That way I can stretch it much farther than a power strip. I use a portable fan and, with an extension cord, can put it right by the bed. We didn't have an outlet in our bathroom aboard the Conquest last year, so the cord was long enough for my wife to use her curling iron in the bathroom. Then the 3-way adapter gives us enough outlets for all of our devices etc. No. It is because according to the Belkin rep in the comments, it has surge protection. This message may have been entered using voice recognition. Please excuse any typos. The Belkin rep. on there links to a different power strip. The one shown isn't surge protected. interestingly enough this is listed as a surge protection on the Belkin site.

That model isn't surge protected. It doesn't even have a circuit breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiseman38 Posted April 26, 2017 #19 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I bought a two pack of none surge protection power strips at Walmart for $6.95 and took them. No problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organized Chaos Posted April 26, 2017 #20 Share Posted April 26, 2017 A fact that doesn't give me much confidence in Belkin products.:') I've never had much confidence in their products, unless it was something simple like a car charger for a phone. I was sad to see it when they bought Linksys a few years ago because Linksys has always made good wifi routers. I hope Belkin doesn't ruin them.
