yst347 Posted October 25, 2007 #26 Share Posted October 25, 2007 So don't bring a power strip if all you need is two outlets, as you have two of them. I used my european adapter for my Axim, and the 110 outlet to charge the batteries on my camera. Even if you need only two outlets as described, a strip is still a good idea. If you look at the picture of the outlet I posted above you will see the problem. Many battery chargers including the one for my camera are too wide to plug-in while the other outlet is occupied.

flczr Posted October 25, 2007 #27 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Just off Liberty there is a outlet behind the bed couldn't tell what kind. In bathroom was a outlet siad it was just for shavers. I also found my rechargeable batteries did not hold a charge like they usally do on land. I have question on the swich for the bathroom light is what appears to be a LED behind a clear window any idea what it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, the wallwart problems :) I was able to use both outlets though, and those that have a european adapter or plug can use that as well as the US plug. Maybe a three outlet adapter would be a better choice than a strip. Smaller, and easier to carry. I see they have some with nightlights too. Those inside cabins can get very dark. But of course that is just me, as I think a strip would be too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimw Posted October 25, 2007 #29 Share Posted October 25, 2007 We were on it last month and I was surprised to see multiples--they were about 5-6 ft apart. I THINK they had both outlet types as well. Then there was the shaver outlet in the bath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoSouthernSisters Posted October 25, 2007 #30 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I've been told that the Holiday has a hair dryer in the bathroom, but do any of you know for sure that there is one? I hate to leave mine at home and have horrid hair for 4 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmysmommy Posted October 25, 2007 #31 Share Posted October 25, 2007 In the category 11 and 12 cabins there is an outlet in the dressing area by the bathroom in addition to the desk outlet and the shaver outlet in the bathroom. I wonder if there is also an accessible outlet where the TV is housed??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseFever Posted October 25, 2007 #33 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I have another question about electrical outlets, I hope you don't mind me asking this on your thread. DH uses a Cpap machine when he sleeps. Our next cruise is on the Victory and I was wondering if this ship has an outlet near the bed that he will be able to use. When we were on the Liberty this past January he wasn't using it so I didn't think to look. Anyone know? DW uses one too and we bring along an extension cord just for that reason. Needed it on the Victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpmaximus Posted October 25, 2007 #35 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Make sure you have a good surge protector. The outlet on the LEGEND fried my protector and i had to throw it in the garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derf5585 Posted October 25, 2007 #37 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Because of "wall warts" that take more than one "outlet" on the power strip get a SQUID. NO MORE WASTED OUTLETS!

LHP Posted October 25, 2007 #39 Share Posted October 25, 2007 The Victory actually had TWO outlets...I was shocked!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atxlady Posted October 25, 2007 #41 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I also need to sleep with a CPAP. I have started storing an extension cord on the bottom of the carrying case. I cruised last year in the Noordam, and the out let was not real convient. I was able to plug in the extension cord. Since than I have just left the cord in the carrying case. I hope that helps, good traveling!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okgirl Posted October 25, 2007 #42 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I seem to remember not being able to move the nightstands on the Conquest. There was only the outlet on the desk. They can be moved and have to be to change the bed configuration from twins to king. They must kind of bolt them in some how because we always tell our steward about my sisters machine and he makes that plug available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidandPaula Posted October 26, 2007 #43 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Thanks Firefly and FredI'll remember the extention. No one but DH would get any sleep if I forgot it! I had read all about this before our cruise in July but the only thing I forgot was the extension cord. Hired one from the pursers desk and paid the $25 on the S&S. Thing was so long but I eventually got used to not tripping over the damn thing. Returning it on the last night was the problem and had to stand in the line to the pursers desk for an hour and a half just so the deposit could be processed off my S&S card. Next time I will remember it I am sure. I also needed a lead for the CPAP pump. If you want to put your lead in your luggage and also do not want to self disembark then give some thought to your last sleep on the ship and how you will manage if the CPAP pump is in your luggage or you return the extension cord early. Luckily I can survive one night without the pump, more than that and I go downhill rapidly with sleepiness, headaches and at worst mild angina symptoms.
