Recommended multi-plug outlet for Radiance?

I know we can't bring extension cords or chargers with cords. Can someone recommend a multi-plug outlet that is approved to charge multiple US devices? I've read that Radiance is a bit short on outlets being an older ship. Thanks.

Most of the reason I need to plug anything in is for charging devices. Instead of plugging in multiple single-device charger plugs, I travel everywhere with this (recently replaced an older version that had no USB-C):

And in Europe and cruise ships with:

A few of these:

And a couple of these:

I ordered something from Amazon that has 3 plug ins and 4 USB spots. It specifically said cruise ship allowable.  It was great, not expensive and we had no trouble with it on our last cruise on Mariner.

I found that the cheapest and easiest plug is an old school 3 way grounded extension one like this one:  https://www.homedepot.com/p/Commercial-Electric-15-Amp-3-Outlet-Grounded-AC-DC-Adapters-White-LA-10/306625668.

 

I also bring a simple two thin round prong Euro converter plug that fits in both the stateroom and around the ship (when you need to charge something when you are out and around).

 

These are the easiest and smallest items to pack/bring.

If you try to plug in a true 110 device (like a small desk fan) in to the simple EU adapter, it will fry your 110 device as the adapter keeps its at 220.  I use the below converter without any issues (of course now showing not available on Amazon).  No surge protection so all is good.  Also, don't try to plug your blow dryer into the converter unless its rated for high watts.  Found that out the hard way....
