I am going out on a thin limb here and speculate that the OP was suggesting folks consult the Carnival prohibited items lists before posting a question like "can I bring ------  on board?" on this forum. Just a guess....

Based on the OP's commentary, I doubt that..

You can take a power strip from U.S. ports so long as it is not surge protected and it is in good condition.

 

" Multi-plug box outlets/power boards are not permitted on board. However, should you require a multi-plug box outlet/power board, please ask your Stateroom Steward who will be able to supply you one for the duration of your cruise."

I'm a ham radio operator and I don't see an issue at all. sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

[Host Carolyn]

Not sure what prompted this but from the responses, its pretty apparent where it is going -.---- so it's not. There were discussions recently on several threads about Carnival not being specific about policy etc. This is specific.
