Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. If they didn't want you to plug things in they wouldn't provide sockets. I travel with a host of items, some I use, some I don't.
  2. I always keep an eye out for "hot legs" on a cruise 😁
  3. If only, but thats a baby one, if I could Id bring an entire substation
  4. Hey Chengkp75, thanks that was really informative and I think I followed it. So basically and not to over simplify, surge protectors on ships are bad.
  5. Ok so what exactly is the issue with surge protected strips? If the supply is clean then they shouldn't trip but if the supply spikes and your equipment is attached to an unprotected supply then it gets zapped. Though I suspect there is more chance of voltage drop. Handy to know there is a power bar under the TV.
  6. Thats a good idea if it powers the device.
  7. yep, sailing from the UK. As USBs are universal and 5v, there shouldn't be a problem plugging it in to either a EU or US socket and the device would drop that down anyway.
  8. Thanks for such a fast response everyone, The advantage of separating charging across more than one USB block is that if you use a single block the power is shared between all ports that are in use (sorry for the use of the word port for a cruise post), So a 40 Watt USB plug with 4 ports on it would give 10 W per port if all ports were in use. If I used 2 USB plugs and have 2 devices on one and 2 devices on the other, more power goes to each port and speed up charging. I was thinking of a USB A block for things that can take their time and a USB C adapter for fast charging. With 3 sockets, I will have to be a little creative and work out what can be charged when. Probably some kind of rotation.... ok I am getting too technical, this is meant to be a vacation. Ah well I will just chuck a load of things in to the case and use them as and when.
  9. I know this might be stretching things a bit but does anyone know how much load a socket can take? Different tech requires different connections: USB Micro (yes I still have some things that use them) USB C (A to C) USB C (C to C) USB Fast chargers USB A 3 pin bespoke chargers If you see the lights flicker, don't panic, I am just plugging stuff in
  10. I was hoping there was a hidden socket or two elsewhere. Working out what cables, chargers, converters etc to bring is a nightmare.
  11. Can anyone tell me on the Silhouette, balcony cabins, how many plug sockets are there? I have a feeling there are 2 US and 1 EU type and they are all by the TV stand thing. Are there any more and during the refit, did Celebrity have the common sense to install USB power outlets? I tend to bring a lot of tech with me and it doesn't run on air. thanks
  12. If club soda and the bottled premium stuff is practically the same then I might stick with the classic
  13. is S class, I thought as much but was worth asking.
  14. Is that available from all bars? Also are speciality teas and coffees included?
  15. Hi KK20, Thanks for that. So basically $5 per bottle. Lets say I had 3x a day, that would be $15 x lets say 12 days as an average. That comes to $180 Cost to upgrade to Premium is $295 or there about. Thats 59 bottles of water to break even or roughly 5 bottles a day, aside from what I drink with the Classic package.
