CRU1Z1N Posted August 13, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Hearing all the commotion on social media about Carnival Magic staterooms ac not working correctly, I’d like to bring a fan just in case. We’re driving and I’d like to know if 1. I should carry on the fan and not put unchecked baggage 2. A picture please of what is allowed Thanks everyone!

chf1953 Posted August 13, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 13, 2018 From Carnival FAQ page Electrical devices such as fans, 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgiacruizer Posted August 14, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 14, 2018 We used this one recently and it traveled just fine in our checked luggage. It was quiet. https://www.amazon.com/O2COOL-10-inch-Battery-Operated-Portable/dp/B00ATSHMIQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusin_hillbilly Posted August 14, 2018 #10 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I used this one on the Breeze in March. It’s strong enough for the air to reach from the desk to the bed.

CruizCuz Posted August 14, 2018 #15 Share Posted August 14, 2018 We ALWAYS bring a box fan for not only cooling, but the "white noise" to help us sleep. We purchase one brand new for less than $20. We have never had a problem. If it's not new in the box, they often will inspect it prior to embarkation. We put a luggage tag on ours and check it with our luggage. We have been on most ships and never had an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyFan33579 Posted August 14, 2018 #16 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I would recommend putting your fan in your carry on. I have been bringing a small fan with me on cruises for the past few years. The one time I put the fan in my luggage that I dropped off at the port, the fan was confiscated (sailing on Liberty). My room steward brought me a fan for that cruise, but still don't understand why they confiscated my fan, which is allowed per their rules as posted in this thread. Since that cruise, I have always carried the fan on the ship myself and have never had another issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeBrew Posted August 14, 2018 #18 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I have been bringing this fan on with us for the past 12 cruises , I just carry it on , still in the same box . https://www.lowes.com/pd/Vornado-7-in-3-Speed-Air-Mover-Fan/1000048991 Have to clean it , as there is allot of dust throughout Carnival ships , you notice it on personal items most likely , but a fan catches it as well .

sc4125 Posted August 14, 2018 #19 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I too bring a small fan on board. Though I need one for those wonderful hot flashes - I really need it for the white noise. Can anyone recommend a small fan that makes noise? I keep seeing portable fans advertised as "quiet" - which is the last thing I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone recommend a small fan that makes noise? I keep seeing portable fans advertised as "quiet" - which is the last thing I want. We have a fan that fits the bill. I don't think they make them anymore, but there may be some on Ebay. It is called Kool Operator Jr. Made by Lakewood. Look it up. It is not overly noisy, but it is good for white noise especially at the high setting. It moves air really well. It is not overly large either, and it is not deep, about 5 inches. Overall it is under 12x12 inches h/w. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
