@Kiwi_cruiser posted this originally but I couldn't figure out how to quote 2 people in one post.

 

The little plus sign beside the quote gives you the option of multi-quotes.

Warning, Warning,

 

For all us cruise addicts, please do not go to the Sydney harbour between 7-10 October.

Apparently the World will be in port and we wouldn't want to lose any of us to such a ship.

If you did book on it, when would you enlighten us with your anecdotes here on CC.

How wonderful for guests to spend 4 days in Sydney.  Hope the city puts  on good weather for them.

Not good news, Royal Caribbean is now banning multi-plug outlets from its cruises.

 

According to the New York Post, the cruise line quietly added the gadget to the list of banned items on its website, which now reads “Extension Cords and Multi-Plug Outlets/ Power Strips”.

 

As they point out this not only hits general cruisers, but has a big impact on CPAP users etc.

 

Hopefully they will reverse this, as they realise it's not going to be a popular decision.

Just pack pin adaptors to gain use of the Euro & US outlets. The risk of fire from cheap Chinese leads and powerboards. Those with specific needs can get certified powerboards supplied on the ship.

Yeah but, when you have to recharge phones, tablet, two watches, two hearing aids, a shaver, and a toothbrush, one power point is not enough.

Most chargers work equally well, albeit a bit slower, from the US sockets. 

 

I have a problem with the Princess AU sockets as the shape of the plug on my fan neatly blocks the USB outlets so I take a double adaptor which raises the plug up far enough so the USB ports can be used.

If you have US & Euro pin adaptors, you usually have three outlets, and USB outlets are becoming commonplace.

 

They aren't doing this to pi$$ their passengers off, but to reduce the fire risk from a single outlet being overloaded. We have pretty much the same amount of toys, and get by with pin adaptors and dual outlet battery bricks.

okay, there are multiple outlets,  none of those devices need to be charging all the time. We use 2 korjo adapters.
