This what we have used for several years on cruise ships for extra chargers and out lets. Small enough to pack in luggage.

Amazon.com: Power Strip Surge Protector Multi Outlets - VANZAVANZU 4 AC Outlets Quick Charging Station with 4 USB Outlets 5.9 Ft Cord, 10A 100-240V for Travel, TV, Cellphone, Computer, Power Bank (Black): Home Improvement

 

Unfortunately, chargers with surge protection are dangerous and banned from cruise ships. Here is just one of many posts on the subject by @chengkp75. A Google search on "surge protector cruise ship" will turn up dozens of hits on the dangers.

 

 

What works well at home or when travelling on land isn't always the best choice at sea. Time to find an alternative.

Didn’t see it mentioned, but each ship has a Euro plug, so I bring on a Euro/US adapter and can use it for my stuff

Also, call Celebrity or your TA and let them know you will be bringing a CPAP on and your steward will have an approved power cord setup and will be ready to add water and so on as needed. Good to do soonest…….ooops, just saw the OP posted this Friday and left yesterday. Oh well. Good for others.

On edge class ships there are outlets next to the bed. I have a cpap and use each time. You should be able to get water. On S and M class ships you must order from X ahead of time with special services. Extension cords are limited.

Wow, I didn't know this and we have used it on 3 past cruises. Thank you for the information. I just checked on Amazon and found one that says it is approved for cruise ships with no surge protector. I just ordered one. It also has the newer fast charging USB for my new smart phone and tablet, the old one was very slow charging.
