No surge power strip

[gunnywife]

Please give me suggestions on no surge power strips allowed on Princess.  

On looking on Amazon I see some were rejected by various cruise lines.  I just want to get the right one.

[Shelly97060]

Not a power strip per sey but we like this one for when we cruise: it has replaced our power strip.

Those used to be called extension cords.

Here's one:

We take either one of these when we cruise and we’ve never had a problem with them being confiscated.

If you’re on Amazon, search cruise power bar or cruise power strip. There’s a bunch of different kinds 

[Arizona Wildcat]

Wondering with three or 4 outlets why one needs to plug in do many devices at the same time?

DW and I are good with our iron, kettle and instant pot.  The phones can wait till evening.

On older ships; there’s exactly ONE outlet in the cabin..on the Royal Class there’s still only one; but at least there’s USB ports by the bed (one on either nightstand) to charge phones.

And..they let you take an instant pot onboard!? Are you cooking food in your cabin?

We are on Discovery Princess right now and have the top one listed in this post.  No problem with it getting on board we just left it in the box that says cruise ship approved and put it in our carryon.  Which ship are you going on?  On the Discovery there are only 2 regular out let’s and 1 USB port on each bedside table and we are in a mini suite.

I take a power strip with out surge capability.

[PurpleHays]

I got mine at Target. Three plugs and two USBs. It lives in my travel bag.

We've used this one on multiple cruises without any problems.  We like the combination of 3 outlets, 4 USB ports and and extension cord.

[P&T]

Cruise lines don't like anything with a surge protector, so a simple cheap double/triple powerboard without surge protection is usually fine.

 

For myself, most of the time, I'm looking to charge multiple things that use USB (watch, phones, headphones, ipad et al) and not looking for multiple regular plug/sockets. The shaver can normally be charged in the bathroom.

 

Also I want something I can use on shore not locking me down to one socket type when visiting countries not on a cruise, so the following does me a treat.

Passenger supplied irons, kettles and instant pots are banned from being used on ships.

This USCG document explains why consumer surge protectors are not allowed

Thanks for this post.

We didn't need any power strip on Sapphire plenty of plugs for everything. Now we are going on Enchanted next summer and am reading very few plugs? I have Inogen machine and hubby has c-pap so guess we will be getting a power strip.

 

[WaterfordBee]

we use this one from Amazon and leave the box underneath the device when in use, just in case.

 

The box clearly states "NO SURGE" "Travel Power Strip for Cruise Ship/Hotel"

Does Caribbean Princess have the usb ports by the bed? That is about all we would need.

I just received this one.  I think it should be good.

I am reasonably sure that the referenced response was a joke.

I use this Anker one for the outlets by the desk, and another adapter (it isn't listed on Amazon anymore), and that works great for 3 phones, an Apple Watch, a DSLR battery charger, 2 portable battery packs for long shore excursions, and my Kindle.

I don't believe the Caribbean Princess has the USB in the lamps or anywhere else as it is a older ship.
