Pickels Posted June 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I seem to have read somewhere that Princess Cruise Lines does not allow surge protectors onboard. But, is an extension cord permitted. Thanks for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mllewis48 Posted June 23, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I seem to have read somewhere that Princess Cruise Lines does not allow surge protectors onboard. But, is an extension cord permitted. Thanks for your input. I used one with my CPAP with no issues, just a simple zip cord extension. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted June 23, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 23, 2017 You're correct that surge protected cords are prohibited: "The use of extension cords fitted with surge protection devices are prohibited in staterooms". https://book.princess.com/html/personalizer/downloads/pdf/Safety_Information.pdf Your extension cord without surge protection is allowed but despite not stating it based on previous discussions including information from a knowledgeable former cruise ship chief engineer no surge protected device should be used on ships.

easyboy Posted June 23, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Have always brought our simple 10' extension cord without surge protector. Seen on inspection but not questioned. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treven Posted June 24, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 24, 2017 You can bring on a simple power strip, one without a surge protector built in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellipooh Posted June 24, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Uh oh. I think the power cord we've brought with us in the past in surge-protected type. What is the reason for the prohibition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky TGO Posted June 24, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I always take a 6' extension cord with out surge protector that has three outlets on it. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmaasher Posted June 24, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Uh oh. I think the power cord we've brought with us in the past in surge-protected type. What is the reason for the prohibition? Surge protectors are a fire risk on ships due to the difference between ship and residential electricity systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
